Ever been ghosted on by buyers on online marketplaces?
Hi everyone - hope you're well. We were having a chat in MSE Towers recently about being 'ghosted' on online marketplaces or sites when selling, and it seems to have happened to a few of us!

How to sell individual items from a bundle
I've got a DVD bundle with several dozen discs up for sale on Ebay with a buy-it-now-price. A buyer has messaged me to ask if I'm willing to sell specific discs from the bundle. I'm fine with this, just not sure what's the best way to do it. Should I end the bundle listing and put up the discs he/she's interested in as a…

Has anyone had this happen ?
I’m an occasional eBay seller, just personal items I no longer want. I recently listed a few craft items, which ended last Saturday. I had an offer on one than I accepted from a buyer who then won another of my auctions. I sent them an invoice for the items combined to give them cheaper postage. The address was a UK…

I know I'm late to the party but I found some 'English oak' stamps (value £1.42 each) in a drawer and I'm unsure whether these should be swapped. I have read Royal Mail's instructions and I find them confusing. Do you know if these stamps are classed as 'pictorial' or 'everyday stamps'? The value looks random but was in…
