Buying a fake at auction
Hello, newbie here, I’ve been a muppet and got carried away looking for a 50th birthday present and bought a sketch believing it to be by a well known 20th century painter. I’ve won it at auction but not paid for it yet. I asked for the provenance or proof of authenticity but apparently it doesn’t have any, only a story…

Evri delivered to the wrong address, AliExpress won't refund
I have bought lots of stuff from AliExpress and most of the time there have been no problems. The problems that I have had have been resolved one way or another (in the extreme). They either deliver by Royal Mail or Evri (though I have just had one item delivered by Amazon) and until recently, my local Evri driver has been…

changes to eBay’s Promoted Listings programme
It's always worth checking out these little updates that ebay add to your messages - in future if you use promoted listings you will pay the selling fee if anyone clicks on the ad and it then goes on to sell to anyone else within 30 days. So the moment a seller gets a watcher or a view on a promoted item, the fees kick in…

ebay postage prices wrong?
Just listing a couple of items ad noticed when selecting Royal Mail as the postage option the pre-filled prices seem to be incorrect. For a 'medium parcel' to 5kg it shows Tracked 48 as £6.59 but Tracked 24 is only £5.89 I always book directly on the royal mail site. Is Tracked 24 actually cheaper than 48 if I use…

How to get refund from seller? & the following feedback fiasco
I bought some t-shirts, but the seller sent the wrong colour, or at least wrong shade. After several exchanges, the seller has finally admitted to the mistake, and said I can keep the t-shirts, and they offered a 25% refund, provided I close the return request that I'd opened. My concern, with closing the return is the…

I can not block a buyer
Last week a 'potential' buyer placed a bid on an item, then later in the day ebay messaged me stating the bid had been withdrawn. I didn't think anything of it. Two days ago, the listing came to an end, so I relisted it, with a much lower 'starting price' I received a bid, then again later in the day ebay once again…

Aldi goods on Ebay
I was doing a search for reviews on an Aldi hair product earlier and Ebay came up as selling it, at 300% of the Aldi price. Just curiosity really but who buys these things? I understand people might not have an Aldi nearby but I just can't understand who would pay these prices - I'd rather go without if I couldn't source…

How to change ebay postal label option for RM 48

I priced at about £3.50 postage, but was going to purchase the label through eBay, but the only tracked 48 option was showing as…
