RM tracking delay warning
Just printing my ebay labels ready for the post run and this message pops up each time on the ebay postage page. Not sure what it impacts but this is a slight worry for any private seller using RM after the 4th Feb who might be needing their funds urgently. "Please be aware that Royal Mail is experiencing tracking issues…

I have been using my eBay account to sell my personal possessions collected throughout the years. What is classifed as Income? A painting cost me £500 a few years ago, I have sold this for £550, minus the fee and postage, would the income be £20? So confused to say the least. Thanks for your time. PS I have also posted…

New tracking confirmation and possible scams.
Should we be concerned when the new rules on tracking confirmation comes in on Feb 4 that it will encourage scam buyers to make claims for none delivery? All they have to do is check the tracking showing parcel as not delivered (when in fact it has been delivered) and put in a claim. The item, still showing as not…

Can (should I) become an ebay business seller?
I see a lot of threads on here where people are getting stick for being registered on ebay as a private seller when they are actually running some sort of business. What is the opinion on a genuine private seller registering as a business? I am a genuine private seller. Although, I do currently have about 1200 individual…

"Local eBay Deals Mapper" doesn't work for 'Search Anything'
I used to use the "Local eBay Deals Mapper" on moneysavingexpert all the time to see what was available in my area regardless of category by leaving the "What would you like to buy?" section blank. Now it demands I put something in there or select a category. Has it changed or do I need to put something specific instead?

2 or 3 "offers" every week on the same items, is it ebay or the seller?
I posted recently about some gadgets I was looking to buy and the silly prices people start them at on ebay. They are almost double the auction selling price and they are still for sale whch I expect them to be for a very long time at those prices. But the reason for this post. I keep getting offers with £5 or £10 off, 2…

Gumtree question
I've put something for sale on Gumtree for the first time and have a question. If it doesn't sell and I want to reduce the price, is it better to just post another advert (presumably the most recent adverts get most attention) or if i just change the price on the existing advert I'm guessing it won't get any attention as…

Selling Old Laptop and Other Questions
Hi all, I hope you all had a fab Xmas and got all the presents you wanted! I'm selling an old laptop. It still works but I am selling it as "parts only". Is there anything I need to look out for? Any new scams going round? I sold one about six years ago and had no issues so hoping for something similar. What would be the…

eBay Promotion
Does promoting an item via eBay work? Have you tried it? I believe eBay take 10% of the final price if the item sells? I'm a private seller - have an item that's been listed for months at £400 (RRP is £600) and not really selling as it's a bit specialised. Was considering promoting it.....

How do I reach Amazon Complaints
I want to put in a complaint to Amazon UK as I can’t get a satisfactory resolution via their chat option. Their complaints@amazon.co.uk is not receiving emails. I have had a wrong item delivered 3 times this week. On one occasion, their assistant issued me with a £5 credit to cover postage when I re-ordered. When the wrong…

Royal Mail Collect
After having problems with EVRI collect service I decided to try The Royal Mail Collect option (I’m disabled so find it difficult to go out) but they haven’t collected. I have confirmation emails and typed my own labels. Do you think they will collect tomorrow, if not, then what? Annoyingly I had a Royal Mail parcel left…

Can I report a seller for pestering? If so then how?
Bought an item from a seller last SUMMER. Not a great experience so left appropriate negative. Seller gave me some speech about how they're a small time seller trying to provide for their family, yada yada yada, can I remove my negative. Then they messaged me again & again. I ignored the lot of them. 5 months later, it's…

Ebay Commerce UK Limited and identify fraud
My wife has never had an account with eBay or bought anything from them. She received a demand letter from Moorcroft Debt Recovery Limited yesterday. We telephoned Moorcroft yesterday and established that Moorcroft was acting correctly but that the underlying eBay claim was the subject of identity fraud. We then spent 90…

EBay not received
I bought an item from eBay which I did not receive. The seller posted it with verification and it has a tracking number. I think it was left either in my drive or in the wheelie bin ( very common). If it has been taken, what are my rights? Does the seller have to refund because they left it in an unsafe place? Or am I…

Hi I'm waiting for a delivery from eBay, sent RM tracked 48. I got a message earlier today that it had been delivered at 10:28. But I haven't got it.

No way to contact eBay Business Seller
I've received an order from a UK Business Seller today (100% feedback from 8.4k sales), but they have sent the wrong item (I've double checked the listing etc). Normally I would message the seller with pictures etc and arrange a solution (ideally to exchange for the right item). However, they seem to have disabled all…
