Nintendo 2DS
Sold a mint in box and sealed Nintendo 2DS on ebay over a year ago now. This is just a warning to others. I was glad as was a profit but he then claimed none of the buttons work. I said that was odd as was sealed but send it back and I'll give you a full refund. All fine. Roll on a few months later and I decide to put my…

Offers on items I’ve viewed
I’ve started getting personal offers on items I’ve simply viewed - not items in my watch list. Is this a new thing? I’m used to getting offers on items I’m actually watching but not this.

Size of shipping envelopes for clothes?
I'm decluttering and aim to sell men's anoraks and two-piece men's suits. Any suggesting on what size grey shipping envelopes would be best without having the clothes get crumpled from stuffing them in but won't cost a bomb in postage?

Postage - peeved
Bought an item from a business last Thursday from eBay. The listing said free 3-day postage via RM48, which I knew might be optimistic and I could have done with it arriving ASAP so paid extra for RM24, thinking if they despatched on Friday it should probably arrive by Saturday, or Monday at the latest. (I assumed a quick…

Ebay - Its now free to sell preowned clothes!
Just gone on Ebay to reply to a message and noticed the banner 'Its now free to sell preowned clothes' Guess they must be loosing out to Vinted. Seems as if it is not a temporary move either and applies to existing unsold listing too. Clothing is something I rarely sell but as its now free I may give it a go.

eBay Zero Selling Fees until 15 April - WOW !
This unexpected puppy landed overnight. Maybe eBay are getting concerned about the impact of HMRC requirements on their business model ? I guess the dilemma is whether to rush in and relist all the promotional listings added from last week (70% off, 80% off and £1 FVF) or take the hit now by sending Offers to Watchers this…
