Ebay and DRS trying to claim debt I don't think I should be have been given
About a year ago I sold my wireless printer on eBay for £25... The buyer received the parcel and claimed it was not turning on however I put photos of the printer on and working when advertised.

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…

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…

So is my pension income and savings income included in this assessment as i thought this was a business account and i already have a personal tax account?

Another Self Assessment question
Last financial year I trialled buying with the intention of selling online and sold just over the £1000 Trading Allowance threshold. All the advice I've seen suggested this counted as a 'side hustle' and filing a SA return was relatively straight forward. The SA form assumes I am self-employed and asks for a Business name.…

What postal service do you use?

Ebay Postage - Business Account, Bulk Postage
Hi, We've started using the eBay postage thing for the items we sell. For individual items, it's fine, you get your QR code and toddle off to wherever with it. If you have more than one item, do you still get the choice of QR codes or do you have to print labels? I'm happy to put them through individually to get the QR…

stopping 'live auctions' on ebay from announcements on an iphone
I'm not sure how best to describe my question- so stick with me. I get quite a bit of ebay traffic through the ebay app on my iphone, and open the pop ups to see if it's a message or confirmation of an offer or whatever. However I am plagued by 'live auctions' I click on the ebay 'message' and it immediately opens a live…

In post help please
I have just sold an item through Vinted and have attempted to post it. The In post locker won't scan the barcode, I don't have a QR code (or I don't know where to find it).

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…

Kraft or Honeycomb Packing Filler
Appreciate advice on the best option to fill the box space when sending items ? I use bubble wrap to protect the item, but to fill the cushioning gap, I'm torn between using the flat-then-scrunched Kraft-type paper you get in Amazon boxes or the Honeycomb version. Both lightweight I know...but do members favour one over…

Non payers
What is the ‘punishment’ for non paying bidders? Out of nine items sold over the last two weeks, three have not paid. We are talking £2 each here 🤬 I’ve cancelled the sales after a week, should I be doing anything else? One of the ‘buyers’ has many positive feedbacks but lots of them are saying they’ve not paid.
