Vinted, a few months ago i was advise i had to become a pro seller, now i have to provide business
Morning,I started selling on Vinted last year to clear out items I had accumulated. For context, I went through a period of binge buying and collecting things like backpacks, slings, and EDC/travel gear (I use to travel alot for work at the time). I’d often buy multiples of the same item over period of months, and…

Royal Mail Issues ?
Hi. Is anyone experiencing Royal Mail mega slow delivery issues at the moment ? Dispatched 2 items to different buyers via Tracked 48 last Wednesday 17th. Neither have updated on Online Tracking and buyers haven't received items. Normally, T48 lands within a couple of days without fail. I appreciate 48 hours delivery isn't…

Seller details
When a buyer purchases an item via eBay, does the buyer see a private sellers name or address on eBay - on the invoice etc? If a label is printed the sellers address is displayed a the return address (although this can be changed in settings beforehand I guess). Is a return address displayed on a QR Code printed label too?

Ebay Evri drop off issues
My local Evri drop-off is very handy as it's just 10 minutes walk away. However, they now only accept small packages. Anything larger than a typical shoe box gets refused. I just tried to drop off a shoe box containing a pair of boots (so a little larger than your typical shoe box) and the shop owner refused to take it. I…

Using PayPal on site like Timu rather than my own bank details
hi, having looked at Temu etc, I am reluctant to use my own bank details to make a purchase. I was wondering if it would be better to use PayPal, that way it would be more secure. I was wondering what peoples experiences with PayPal have been like in addition would there be an alternative. Many thanks

Do Charity Listings On Ebay Affect My Tax Quota?
I understand that I have a £1000 allowance selling on eBay before I'm liable to pay tax. Also, that I have a 30 sold listings limit (per year?) before being flagged up for tax scrutiny. My main question is this: If I sell to declutter, giving 100% of proceeds to a charity via the eBay checkout system and using "eBay Simple…

Selling on ebay after a few years away
Have a few queries, What is with the payment holds and how long do they last? I think I will get some due to a break. Why is there a code in the middle of the address, something like ebaylt7dfc (made that up), is it relevant if you aren't using ebay's printed postage (which is what I assume it is for)? What happen to Royal…

Large letters RM delays
I know we have had threads regarding RM delaying letters and potentially LLs as well, but I've now had 3 'where's my item' messages in less than 24 hours. I personally think the buyers are being a bit prompt ,1 was sent Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday, but according to ebay all should have arrived by now. Luckily 2 of them were…

Seller change mind after deposit was paid
Hi, Might not be the right category but I found this as the closest one. I'm the seller of 1kg silver on Facebook. Someone is willing to buy it and he said he will collect it in 10days and for that he paid £120 in advance. But in the meantime I've changed my mind and I let know the buyer that I wanna sell it somewhere else…

Ebay International Buyer - VAT and IOSS number
I've sold something to a buyer in Austria. He has paid VAT to Ebay on the item and I have been provided with an IOSS number from Ebay. Ebay tells me: 'Please ensure that you share Ebay's IOSS number electronically with your courier'. However, when I go to purchase a postage label with Royal Mail, the box to enter the IOSS…

Question re collection in person and returns
Hi, I only sell occasionally on eBay, and usually only small bits that I can post. I have listed 3 large kitchen appliances as collection only, as certainly cannot post them. I understand that there is now a code that eBay sends the buyer, which they must show me on arrival. And that this gets around the old scam of paying…

parcelforce lost / delay - Ebay buyer wants a refund
Advice needed on a stressful eBay sale I sold an item on eBay about 10 days ago. I shipped it the same day by dropping it off at the Parcelforce depot, where it was scanned into their system. However, a week later the buyer contacted me saying it hadn’t been delivered, and the tracking still only shows the initial scan.…

EBay 'messages' - format has gone awry using Firefox. Ok in Chrome.
Hi.This happened around a week or so ago, and could have been around the same time as a Windows 11 update, but not certain. In essence, when I click on my 'Messages', it appears spread over the whole page, as tho' zoomed in to a daft and distorting degree. My Firefox is set to the standard 100% zoom, and all the other eBay…

Interesting re using a Sniper.
Hi. I've just placed a bid for a car using a sniping tool - Gixen. The vehicle didn't reach reserve, but I was the highest bidder; my actual snipe figure was above the end price. I asked what the 'reserve' was to see if I could meet it, and the seller told me - along with what the 'highest bid' he'd received was - and it…
