Incorrect return address issue
I have lived at three addresses the entire time I have been buying/selling on eBay. Neither of my old addresses are on file with them anymore and a CSA confirmed they'd been removed and were not visible on my buyers or sellers page their end.

Deliveries not being delivered!
I’m probably just being silly, but I’m getting annoyed by couriers just dumping stuff outside the front door. The Amazon man does not even ring the doorbell. Apart from the risk of the goods being stolen, the stuff sitting there is advertising that there’s nobody in, which increases the risk of breaking in. Of course, I…

Options for mispacked eBay parcel
Hands up totally my fault. A week ago I sold and posted a bulk lot of Warhammer on eBay to a buyer in USA (I'm in the UK) and it is been sent via global shipping programme.

A problem with the Amazon returns system
I seem to have found a problem with Amazon's system for returning items. It seems the only way now is to take it to a partner retailer or Post Office along with a QR code they give you and they sort it. The problem is I tried the main Post Office and four retailers in my town and all came up with virtually the same…

How much must something be worth before trying to sell it in the first place?
Hi there. I am a non-commercial occasional seller and am trying to declutter my house at the moment - not only to free up some space but because I could do with the extra money at the moment.

Yodel parcel not picked up
I (probably for the last time) bought a Yodel label from EBay last week. Dropped off and have receipt e-mail. The only tracking update is “we came to collect your parcel but wasn’t available. Please rearrange your collection “. This from 6 days ago. Anyone else seen this, am I supposed to do something, I presume they would…

On the tasks section of my seller dashboard (private accounts) I am getting the above message, with the number of listings I need to amend.
