PayPal Goods & Services Fees
Hope someone can help - I'm exploring G&S as an alternative to eBay, but am finding the Fee system is as clear as mud. Some people say the Buyer pays, others say the Seller pays. Then further confusion if the Seller sends payment request vs the Buyer sending payment their end. So if say I factor in/absorb fees and wish to…

Is there any way I can get Courier's to ring?
I've noticed there's a tendency to just leave the parcel at the doorway then walk away. This despite having a notice on the door asking couriers to ring. I know they are working against time, but it only takes a split second. I don't even expect them to wait of me coming to the door. I can't find any page to insert…

Complete mess!
I ordered a screwdriver from Epictools on ebay for £11. They've sold over a million items, good feedback. The item didn't arrive, so I contacted them and filed 'Item not received' request. No response from Epictools, but I see they told the carrier to return the item to them. At the end of 3 days, ebay refunded me. (That's…

eBay selling rules
I found that selling item was marked as fully described and No returns however buyer stated not as described so eBay advised me that I had to leave with buyer and give him his money back or pick it up and take back so if a buyer decides that he does not want an item after all then he just need say not as described and…

EVRI - Whole Company a Scam?
Hi Katie, In all seriousness, is EVRI just a massive scam operation, honouring a small number of parcel deliveries to appear legit while taking thousands of pounds of customers money, knowing full well the original retailer is liable for the refund? They seem like crooks to me... Especially after my sixth parcel has just…

Offsetting Tax Against Buying Costs
I've started buying from liquidation auctions and then re-selling on eBay. Can I claim the buyer's commission cost and postage from the liquidation auctions against income tax? I'm struggling to find a correct answer online. Thanks for any replies.

Unsold listings disappearing....
Could anyone shed any light on this difficulty.? I sell knitting patterns and when the auction is over, I relist them. When I checked one of the boxes only some of them appear to be relisted so I would say about half need to be done again and relisted which is quite a chore. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Vinted pending to available balance
I’ve used Vinted for quite some time now and usually when a sale is completed the funds are transferred from pending to available straight away. I had 3 sales complete yesterday afternoon and the funds are still in pending! I’ve googled it (as the Vinted forum is no longer available!) and some searches say it should be an…

Drop-off at locker. No email confirmation.
I recently started using locker drop-off when sending ebay parcels. I always enter my email address as prompted but never get a confirmation email. I've double-checked that I am spelling it correctly, I've tried two different email addresses (btinternet and gmail) and checked spam/junk folders. If I log into my ebay…

Numpty ebay questions
It is a long time since I last sold on ebay and things appear to have changed somewhat. As a private seller I used to offer free postage and send with stamps I already have with proof of posting from the post office- no point in sending tracked as these are low value items. Gone to list something pet related today and…

Royal Mail prices
I have just changed my postage prices on eBay for international post. I have put in the price I wish to charge but when I checked it the price is more than I entered. Do RM now charge extra on top of what I charge? I have never seen this before.

Feedback if refunded
An item hasn't been dispatched that I bought over a week ago, non-responsive seller, and I didn't do my due diligence beforehand - I thought their % was high enough - but from other feedback about them selling this type of item it looks like I probably won't be getting anything. (Simple delivery, if that's relevant; no…

Valuing Assets for Probate Retrospectively
I am trying to value assets for probate 3 years after the person who owns the assets passed away. I have read that many people doing this over value personal items and that it is wiser to value them at the market price (the price that buyers are willing to pay). I have tried to find the 'sold' price by using ebay's 'sold…
