Guys, My folks are keen to empty their loft of all the stuff they don't need - realistically quite a bit of this is probably mine! Im assuming most is due to the dump, but, some may be useful/valuable/wanted, just thought I'd canvas for opinions on here.. Mitsubishi Diamond 21 crt - man this thing was heavy, it was a…

eBay Promotion
Does promoting an item via eBay work? Have you tried it? I believe eBay take 10% of the final price if the item sells? I'm a private seller - have an item that's been listed for months at £400 (RRP is £600) and not really selling as it's a bit specialised. Was considering promoting it.....

No way to contact eBay Business Seller
I've received an order from a UK Business Seller today (100% feedback from 8.4k sales), but they have sent the wrong item (I've double checked the listing etc). Normally I would message the seller with pictures etc and arrange a solution (ideally to exchange for the right item). However, they seem to have disabled all…

EBay not received
I bought an item from eBay which I did not receive. The seller posted it with verification and it has a tracking number. I think it was left either in my drive or in the wheelie bin ( very common).

EDIT as sort of resolved. I got through to live chat and after a brief discussion with 2 different reps was told 'Please be assured, I can see that it is a temporary technical issue.

Ebay listings to start appearing on Facebook Marketplace in the USA
There is a test in the USA, France and Germany where Ebay listings are appearing on Facebook Marketplace. OK, it doesn't apply to the UK yet but what starts elsewhere usually ends up here. It's all free at the minute but I'm sure Ebay will find some way to monetize it.…

Hi all, I was looking to help my wife sell stuff on eBay as a part-time venture. She is a stay-at-home mum and it was mostly going to be a hobby for her but of course the money side of things is a driving factor too. I was advised to start off as a private seller to test the waters really. Once she has got the hang of…
