Ebay holding private sellers funds until proof of delivery from 4th Feb, 2025
From 4th Feb, 2025, Ebay will be holding on to all private sellers funds until an item is deemed delivered. Part of the T&C's update also states that private sellers will have to buy postage via Ebay only...no more paying at the post office (it states Q1 2025 for that but I'd be sure it would be implemented at the same…

OnBuy
We've had a bit of talk about other marketplaces recently. I see reports that OnBuy is fast growing yet as a buyer or seller it never seems to appear anywhere for me. They did aggressively (in a marketing/calling way) try to get me on board a few years ago but it didn't seem like a good fit and wasn't particularly more…

I've just listed 2 items on Ebay and in the postage options there was no option for Royal Mail collection. I've used this in the past and found it very useful as I can't get out much.Has this option been removed now? Or is it not appearing for certain items? I'm selling a couple of shirts.

Now I'm confused about ebay fees - does free not always mean free?
I'd understood that for the last few months private sellers have paid no ebay fees either for listing or as final value fees, unless you add the optional extras like reserve prices, subtitles etc. I've listed a few items recently, the latest one was snapped up at a Buy It Now price by someone in the USA (paying £15 for the…

Buying a collection in person item
I'm tempted to bid (about £90) on a child's bike, marked as collection in person. The photo is not that detailed and the description just says 'used'. If I won the item, would I have to pay for it before going to see it? I assume it would be functional, but if it was rusty, scratched etc, would I be able to reject it, and…

Is a plunge circular saw considered a 'bladed' item with RM?
I've had a look through RM's new bladed policy for sending such an article but can't see if a cordless circular saw is included. Anyone sent anything like this? I've sent plenty of similar saws and also drills but not something which has a 10'' blade. If not, what couriers would anyone recommend? There's quite a lot of…
