Royal mail Parcel 48
I have a couple of large games I want to list and I believe Royal Mail 48 hour service (online) is quite cheap. I have never used this service, so was wondering how I go about it. Can I print a label off at home, then take it to my local PO, a bit like the EVRi method. Do I need an official Royal Mail account

Seller communication
Up until recently my metrics for sales were perfect, but then buyers starting giving me low stars for communication, at this time of year I was worried that delayed items would impact my metrics but that hasn't happened, I am at a loss to understand what buyers want, unless they ask a question I have no reason to…

How do I combine postage on Best Offers please?
Hi, I have a buyer who has made offers on a few of my items and, understandably, wants me to combine postage which I’m happy to do. With an auction format I know I can send one invoice for all items but, as the buyer has to pay immediately for best offer items, I am unable to do that. So how do I combine postage for Best…

Lovely sellers
I’ve decided, as a buyer, that there’s lots of really lovely eBay sellers out there. I made a lowish offer on some posh skincare products which was accepted. I contacted the seller to thank her for accepting my offer and explained that it was going to be a raffle prize at our pensioners Christmas party. She responded and…

Ebay balance - how can I withdraw the funds from my sales
Ebay has recently convoluted something that didn't need changing, but making a seller's earnings go into a balance rather than directly to a bank account. I've spent over an hour, tearing my fkin hair out trying to figure out how to withdraw the money in my balance. I have over £150 sat in there and there's no option to…

Royal Mail Delivery misinformation? Failed delivery at 9:34 PM!!!
Hi all, Royal Mail informed us they were delivering a 24 delivery parcel (so signed for) on 2.12.24 between 7:30am and 7:30pm. So stayed in all day. Dog and doorbell fully functioning. Also, I have ‘bat-ears’. Ie I can hear an ant crawling over cotton wool. So, rather surprised that nothing came. No dog barking. No…

Wow....Scammer contacts his bank after eBay see in my favour as seller
So, good and bad here. Buyer opened a case for a brand new and sealed item, returning an empty envelope for a relatively expensive electronics item on my biz a/c. Couldn't have been more blatant. Pictures were taken the second it was put thru my door. After speaking with eBay at the outset, I was told to send a message to…

Some sellers do try their luck
I often trawl through categories I sell in to see what's around, what other people are selling (In case I can grab a bargain to resell) or just to see what items no longer sell. A few months back I sold a rather ordinary touristy souvenir thing probably dating from anywhere between 1980 - 2000, it was mass produced and I…

Who's responsibility is it to investigate
Hi EBay experts. I'd like some advice regarding lost or mis-delivered packages. Who's responsibility is it to investigate the whereabouts of missing items, the Sender or the Buyer? i recently purchased something that was posted by Royal Mail Tracked. I got a message saying it had been delivered, but it had not arrived at…

Amazon returns
I have three parcels to return to Amazon on Monday. The postman will pick them up, and he’ll bring the labels. Does it matter whether he puts the right label on each parcel? There’s no paperwork inside the parcels to say what the item is, or who is returning it. Normally, they refund me within a few minutes of the parcel…

Where can I get HEAVY Duty mailing bags
I usually just buy the 'normal' grey mailing bags, which seem to do for the majority of items. Occasionally though, perhaps if I sell a game or boxed item, I wrap it in bubblewrap, then wrap it again in a used heavy-duty bag, opened up, perhaps after my wife has bought something on line. Those bags always seem very strong…
