What not to say to customers with a delayed parcel at Christmas.
As I send out a load more parcels at Christmas it's inevitable to get some delays.

Finding ebay gsp destination carrier?
Sent an item via the eBay gsp which tracking shows as delivered. Buyer says the item has not actually been delivered and is asking with help to try and identify the carrier that would have delivered it.

Suddenly close to ebay tax threshold
I apologise if this has been covered a lot, I have had a good look through the forum and haven't been completely sure as to the answer: My wife has sold personal possessions on ebay throughout the year just to get rid of stuff in the house- no issue. However an item she sold got quite a good return and she realised that if…

Items that go continually unpaid?
This is a thread we've had before, but I decided to post again as I have another 'unlucky' item. I don't know if other people have ever experienced this but occasionally, and it is rare, I get an item that does sell and never gets paid for, more than once. I currently have an item on my private account, not a popular one…

Buyer not collecting EVRi parcel
Last week a buyer bought two items from me. Initially they were listed with Royal Mail delivery, but combined the weight was well over the 2kg limit for a small parcel. I messaged the buyer stating that the combined weight would mean they would have to be sent using EVRi. I noticed there was an offer on, with very cheap…

GPSR Compliance on eBay
What's the actual latest news with this one. I have no international sales option marked on eBay, but I do use GSP. Will eBay handle the sales through GSP behind the curtain? As in, if I leave GSP active, would my items still sell to the US and not be visible in the EU/NI?I also see the following message from eBay: Does…

Bidding on a car on ebay (auction listing not a classified listing) - If I win can I pay via ebay?
Hi there's a car on ebay that's listed auction-style rather than the usual 'classified ad' that you usually see on ebay where it's a set price and you can't bid. It's basically listed like an ordinary item where people are outbidding each other. I just wanted to know if I win the bidding, is it the same as when you buy…

Want an item on gumtree that seller has agreed to send by post. Should be ok?
I know gumtree is no protection. Caveat emptor and all but I have boycotted ebay on principle that they heavily weight in favour of buyers even if they are scammers. So as protest I stopped using them having been scammed as a seller. Now to stay consistent to my principles I should be willing to buy with no protection. I…
