Combining postage
Recently I asked about combining postage for Simple delivery - I found out it was not possible to do so just left it. What about combining postage for custom postage items? Does it work like before? Buyer puts them in his basket and asks me to revise the postage? How does it work? Buyer wants to purchase 6 items - all…

'dispatch overdue' glitch
EDIT as sort of resolved. I got through to live chat and after a brief discussion with 2 different reps was told 'Please be assured, I can see that it is a temporary technical issue. It won't impact your account.'. Apparently if it is still there next week I should contact them again. So the usual 'we don't know what's…

Better seller protection for INR cases
I’m trying to find a proper link but if this link works it is extremely good news for INR cases where sellers buy the labels through eBay. https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Announcements/Extended-Item-Not-Received-protections/ba-p/7935421 What’s changing? Before: Seller issues a refund to close an INR case. If the parcel is…

Ebay so called Simple Delivery and Buyer Protection. Double Jeopardy?
Being a long standing seller on ebay I have seen a lot of changes over the years, some for the better but more recently the majority for the worse. Despite reassurances that all existing listings the postage prices will stay the same until sold I have noticed that a lot have automatically switched over to so called simple…

Why are sellers having to pay the buyer's protection fee on EBay if we, as sellers, accept an offer?
I don't quite understand how this works. If a buyer on EBay now pays their buyer's protection fee, why does the seller have to pay this for the buyer if the seller accepts an offer at a lower price? Surely the buyer should still have to pay the protection fee themselves?

Ebay - can anyone explain auction with best offer?
I was interested in an item with a starting price of £3.50, I was going to bid my maximum of £10. About half an hour before the auction end time the item went to £10 with 1 bid. As this was my maximum I didn't bid but wonder how an item would go straight to £10? I presume there was a best offer of £10 and this eliminated…

I sold a mobile phone on ebay as non-returnable, however the next day the buyer said they'd changed their mind and wanted a refund. That's after i'd posted the item but before it had even been delivered to them. Despite the listing saying no returns, the options ebay gave me were: a) to accept the refund, b) reject the…

Gold Sovereign for Sale
I would like to sell my 1911 gold sovereign valued online at £700. If I use Royal Mail do I need proof of its value? Do I need to have a certificate showing its value? I'm just thinking as in the news lately Royal Mail lost a valuable gold bar and now is prevaricating over compensation.
