Combining postage on SD
Last week I sold 2 items, both on SD to the same buyer. I spent some time looking at how to combine postage and send them in one parcel but could not find the answers and there was no time - I had only 2 days in which to post so I ended up packing separately (which to me is a waste as they could easily have been put in one…

Aldi goods on Ebay
I was doing a search for reviews on an Aldi hair product earlier and Ebay came up as selling it, at 300% of the Aldi price. Just curiosity really but who buys these things? I understand people might not have an Aldi nearby but I just can't understand who would pay these prices - I'd rather go without if I couldn't source…

ebay listing tool glitches
I have a whole box of collectable vintage items to list and the ebay listing tool is driving me round the bend. I need these to go SD due to cost (most items are less than £10 so the cheaper SD costs makes these more attractive) but the SD option keeps disappearing, and even when I can see it when I click to list it…

muddled buyer with leaving feedback.
I just noticed that earlier this morning I received feedback - luckily positive, saying how badly I had packed an item and it was a wonder nothing was broken. Nothing wrong with that of course, except I didn't actually send the item until lunchtime today - so I think I have one very muddled buyer!

1st class letter stamp for 2nd class LL items.
I'm probably the last person on here to realise this- but 1st class letter stamps are now worth £1.65 whereas a 2nd class LL only costs £1.55 to post. I have hundreds and hundreds of 1st class letter stamps, some barcoded and some pictorial and no hope of ever using them - but I sell a lot of LL items under 100g both on my…

Any buyer advantage using to PayPal on EBay?
Hi, As the title, is there any advantage for a buyer when paying for an Ebay item with PayPal, as opposed to a credit card? Does PayPal offer any more protection against items not received, or received damaged? Ebay offer the above protections so I can't see why anyone would use PayPal, unless they're using a PayPal…

Evri or seller at fault?
Not a major deal, but ordered something off eBay which promised two day delivery. I didn’t get a notification that it was dispatched so queried it with the seller, I then got tracking notification and though it seems it was posted on the day I bought it, it just says it’s running behind the original estimate. Slightly…

Retracted bids on an item I was looking at buying. How many?
Looking for another fairly rare item and put an initial bid in to remind me and hopefully stop the seller removing it and taking an offer via private messages. A few days into the auction I got outbid which was to be expected and then the price jumped substantially the day after. With just two days left the price dropped…
