eBay buyer asked refund+keep item on false claims. Can ebay forcefully take money back?
As per title... I added all the pictures and video proving how well everything was packaged and that everything worked as advertised. I haven't used e(vil)Bay much so didn't really know these, and without telling the story and giving ideas to the wrong people, this buyer pulled one over on me and ended up keeping the item…

Logging into EBay app
Not expecting an answer as such, just wanted a moan really ! I use EBay app on my IPhone regularly for keeping track of stuff but tend to do listings via desktop site, more out of habit than anything. Anyway, when I open the app it shows my items selling or buying, messages , feedback etc so it knows it’s me and is on my…

Ebay only charging 30p per sale
I sold 2 items yesterday and when I checked the order details I had only been charged the usual 30p fee, no FVF as such. I have sold 2 more items today on a different account and it's the same. One item was over £100 so even with the 80% offer it should have been £3.50 ish. Yesterdays sales have already been paid into my…

Selling coffee machine
I recently bought a coffee machine. It cost £80, including 200 coffee pods. It's a month old, and we've used up most of the pods, so I want to sell the machine without any pods. It works well enough, but I just want to go back to the Aeropress. It's this machine:…

Editing listing after purchase - PDF
I purchased a text book from a seller on ebay over the weekend and have just received a (working) link to a PDF of the book. I was sure that I was purchasing a physical copy - but looking back at the listing it says 'PDF' in the description. Could the listing have been edited after my purchase to add 'PDF' post pucrhase?…

Has Ebay, Gumtree & FB Marketplace had it's day?
I've been selling unwanted stuff on Ebay for almost 25 years and got feedback of well over 1,500. Gumtree the same, if it's heavy or more suited to a local market, it worked well. FB Marketplace I'm only a recent user. What I found common to all though is nobody is buying any more. I've had stuff listed at good prices and…

I would like to buy on gumtree sent buy post, worth a punt for low cost items?
I refuse to use ebay any more. Gumtree I was happy to read there is no protection for buyer or seller. Why you say? because that is the exact reason I left ebay due to their unfair siding with scamming buyers. Being a man of principle I prefer NO protection than unfair protection for buyers. I wouldn't buy something over…

Unfair negative
I have 100% positive feedback until last month when a buyer bought an expensive purse from me and provided an address that wasn`t recognized by RM. I decided to cancel the order and refund the money as I was worried that if it were lost RM could say the address didn`t exist. She had added a letter to the place. I…

Using 2 x 1st class stamps for international postage
Hi Does a 1st or 2nd class stamp without a price on it increase in
value as postage rates increase, and does that apply to using them
for international postage? For example, I have
2 x 1st class barcoded Prince Charles head stamps purchased before
April, for £1:10 each. If they are now worth £1:35 each, are two of…

Demand for fees on unauthorised transactions
I received a "Ransom" email in January 24 and my computer was compromised. Also some of my passwords. As I tried to change them the scammer kept stopping me. I informed eBay and others beginning of February 24. Since then I have communicated with eBay on their site and also with their head office in the uk by hard copy…

Couriers legal responsibilitie
A large well known couriers accepted breaking and not delivering an item from France. The item also incurred duties coming into the UK. The company reimbursed me for the value of the item but not the cost of delivery or the duties. They argue that my level of delivery doesn't entitle me to a refund. This surely cannot be…

I'm now on my third in about 6 weeks. I prefer not to mess around on ebay, I sell, I post and that's it , anything else gets messy.…

I sell only my own assets at a loss, but more than 30 per year. Do I need to tell HMRC?
I am a very active ebayer. Everything I buy for myself or home will usually end up on ebay once I'm done with it. Electronics, homeware, clothing - if it's worth selling then I'll sell it. 95% of what I sell is used goods of my own which I sell at a loss compared to what I paid for it, with the occasional 'profit' sale of…

AliExpress Message Center.
Made quite a large order from AliExpress (multiple sellers). Not bought anything from them for over 2 years and noticed almost every order had a message about changing the order and to leave a note to the seller but changes cannot be guaranteed. Is this an automated thing from AliExpress? Using Chrome on a PC and I have…

Single Item Auction vs Bulk
I have 15 items, Home Automation compatible radiator TRV's. What would be the best way to seel these one ebay? A single item each week? Or all 15 on one auction? 15 single auctions would not get the best results 🤣
