How to provide next day delivery?
Hi, Am selling an item which is under this Simple Delivery. Someone wants it posting next day which I'm happy to do, but as it is under the Simple Delivery I cannot see how to allow this. Via Evri direct it is only £3.20 for next day. I thought I could maybe change the listing to say Seller pays delivery, and increase the…

Odd international returns request
I (private seller in UK) sold an item on ebay to the USA. I posted directly via royal mail so paid both the postage and the import/tariff duty. Item was ordered on the 22nd and posted the same day. Today (24th) the buyer has opened a returns request with the reason 'ordered by mistake' which seems a little hasty as I doubt…

Just didn't like it return request
Sold a laptop battery on eBay, buyer has requested a return stating the reason as he "just didn't like it" Obviously I cannot resell the item, as a private seller what are the pros and cons of declining the request? Whilst it's frustrating, I expect they'll be more cons than pros so will probably end up refunding, but…

VAT on UK to UK sales?
Anyone notice VAT added to some of your purchases through eBay? I am trying to figure out why some purchases I have VAT added to the orders and for some I don't. First I thought it would be the seller location, but all were located in UK. Then I thought maybe it's value, but checked some high value orderes and some had VAT…

I wanted to share my recent experience selling my son’s old Xbox and accessories on Vinted to warn other sellers, especially anyone thinking of listing electronics, and it goes wrong.

The new Amazon packaging change.
Just seen the ad on tv from Amazon showing how they are now going to use 50% less packaging and showing the delivery person passing boxes to customers. As the items are now just in the original boxes making it obvious what the contents are I would imagine it it going to be a nightmare if parcels are left on doorsteps etc.…

Looking for recommendations to get watch valued/sold in London
I have a watch that was gifted to me in the 1970's. A popular make. Never worn but was put away. Just took it out and it is still ticking away! I am guessing it will bring £250 - 350 (or more?) on Ebay but I am reluctant to sell it there as I have no paperwork. Can anyone recommend anyone in London (willing to travel)…

I was under the impression that buyers could select a carrier for simple delivery but maybe not? Anyway, the warning.. ebay state they will remove feedback when it is related to slow…

Automatic transfer of eBay funds to bank account - good or bad?
Apologies if this has been discussed before but I am not a regular here and a quick look at the last few index pages didn’t throw anything up. I tend to sell on eBay in fits and starts. I won’t sell anything for a few months and then have a clear out to raise some funds. I am into HiFi and every now and then I decide I…

How Do You Select Local Collection With An Offer Price ?
As title, accepted an offer from seller and they offer local collection in the listing - they are in the same town - but there is no option to select local collection, it only gives delivery. Am I missing something, accepting the offer seems to bypass the normal buying process ?

What are we leaving feedback for now?
Have just gone to leave feedback for a seller yet it seems I'm now leaving feedback on the item, not the seller. In this modern day I can hazard a guess - did someones feelings get hurt because a buyer said something 'not nice' & now we can't leave feedback for sellers? I bought an item that was advertised as new. When it…

Seller breaks £2k item then wants refund. Private sale.
I recently sold a workout machine for £2000 in a private sale on Ebay. It was in perfect cosmetic and working order. The item was too heavy to post so I hired a van at my own expense, drove to the buyer's house, set it up for him and left. He was happy with the purchase and all was fine. But now, over 3 weeks later, the…

"What's the lowest you will accept for this item?"
How would you deal with this question from someone who has placed no offer, and has had no prior contact? I get this quite often - my view is I've listed an item at a certain price that I feel is fair. Obviously the listed price is what I would like - but I have placed the option to consider an offer. Why would I reduce my…
