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…

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.

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 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…

Just a heads up Royal Mail's free parcel collect service is due to end next Tuesday. "Parcel Collect is FREE when you book online between 00:01 on 30.06.2023 and 23:59 on 15.08.2023.

Should I let buyer send a courier?
I’ve sold a picture for £100, said collection only or I could deliver locally. Buyer has paid and has 100% positive feedback, but says they want to arrange a courier to come to my house to collect at their expense. I think I saw something once saying this is a red flag, but I’m tempted to say yes. What should I do?
