Independent Postage Insurance - Anyone used it?
Had a clear out of some medium value items, and came t o ship them, the costs that all the couriers want, if I want full cover is obscene (£9 to cover a £190 parcel, suggesting they lose or damage 1 in 20 parcels!!!). Personally, it sounds like a cheap way to make cash, so did some shopping around and found independent…

Ebay purchase
About 8 or 9 months ago I wanted a new stivk hoover as mine wasn't as good as it used to be. I couldn't afford a brand new one so looked on Ebay for the dyson sales. I found one which said it was less than a year or so. I bought it but it was clogged up with plaster dust etc from DIY . Although I complained to the buyer…

How to contact Ebay when you can't sign in?
I can't get a mobile signal at home and the 2-step verification asks me to enter a code they've sent by text. I've followed all the possible contact links and they ask you to sign in before you can contact anyone which obviously I can't do. I don't want to have to create Facebook or Google accounts just to to get help…

Post Office Issues?
When I have sales on eBay I print off a label (purchased via eBay) as normal. I always select the option to drop off rather than collection, as it's just more convenient for me (I'm only a 2 min walk from the Post Office). I have never had any issues with Tracked24 - I drop it off and in most cases it's delivered the next…

Anyone got any FVF offers this weekend 20/9/24 >
Doing the usual round up of selling sites it doesn't appear that there's anyone mentioning FVF offers this weekend. Following the usual pattern of every other week this weekend should have seen offers for those who normally get them. Perhaps this is the shift away from private sellers that business sellers have been…

Ebay scammed by buyer
Hello all. I sold a leather recliner and footstool on Ebay collection in person only. The buyer sent a courier to pick it up and took it some hundreds of miles away down the country. Buyer then claimed it was broken and opened a return claim. As the purchase price was only £135 and the cost of getting it back was over £70…

Fake Feedback?
I purchased an item on eBay from a seller that had feedback of almost 500 so thought nothing off it. However on looking more in-depth after buying (yes, I know!), a fair proportion of the posts have the exact same comments and there is no feedback for sales. I messaged him earlier as he said on Sunday it would be sent next…

eBay Sending Out Mass Emails for Private Sellers to Upgrade to Business
One of my private accounts that I used in the past to sell some of my stuff got an email yesterday that I should either upgrade to business or will be hit with sale restrictions. (Whatever that means) I'm not too bothered either way as I have only used it in the past and haven't really sold anything for a while now. But I…

I purchased 2 Ikea cabinets from eBay and the seller agreed I could source a courier and arrange collection myself. Went on Shiply and found a courier, paid them with the agreement that they would collect on 23rd MArch and deliver within 2-3 days. Collection went fine and was all done to timeframe. Cabinets have still not…

Negative Feedback That Feels Unjust.
As the title really. I sold the parcel shelf from my car to a car repair man. The description had the exact model and make of the car it was from and the measurements of the shelf. I added to the description to make sure it fits other models before buying. He has just left negative feedback saying 'wrongly described '. He…

Wrong Item Received eBay
Hi, not sure how to deal with this one, so I ordered a vinyl record, it was a totally different item. I messaged the seller, and they were apologetic and said the correct item would be sent and keep the wrong item. So I offered to return it but they don't want it back. Nine days later, there was no replacement, plus I…

Best way to sell a M1 Imac Mint condition?
Hi All, After spending £1200 on a 24 inch iMac I am slightly annoyed with myself having to sell it 2 years later because of an upcoming move. I seem to find a real lack of info online as far as where the best place to sell it would be - so far tried putting it on Facebook Marketplace and very little interest except people…

Evri parcel scam
Hi all, I received a parcel correctly addressed to myself (and delivered with a legitimate parcel that I had ordered) that I didn't order. It contained trainers. There was no sender information or delivery note and as the driver lobbed it over my fence, I didn't have chance to give it back to him. I have been told this is…
