Amazon Marketplace: Scammer Paradise< no monitoring, etc.,
I used to buy lots of bargains on my local forum, legit, knew who you were buying from, but now have to use F/B marketplace, i can't believe how poor it is: its a scammers paradise, there seems to be no monitoring at all by Meta, graphics cards are especaaily dodgy, going for little by sellers who don't live where they say…

eBay seller rules and CGT
Hi I'm wondering if the eBay etc new HMRC rules will effect me. I sell my own possessions, some which have gone up in value. Some I sell soon after buying, some later. Small volumes. I don't intend to buy to resell. I've kept receipts for everything. Occasionally I've sold at a loss. I'm always under the CGT allowance…

Business seller?
Sorry, edited. Not rocket science, just pressed on the seller details 🙄 Apologies for bothering you all again. Simply, how can I determine if someone is selling as a business? There's something I want, the seller has multiples in different sizes (a dress) which are sold as new and "made for". All indicators of a business.…

Item not received claim.
Just wanted to check with more experienced eBay sellers. Sold some bits a few weeks ago. Sent all via tracked. All show as delivered. But last week a buyer opened an item not received claim. The item shows as delivered two days after I posted it. The coordinates on the tracking page show the right address too. Am I correct…

Edit additional postage on ebay app?
I have a few multiple quantity listings, the postage should only be one charge per order but the additional postage price seems to be set the same as the original postage price for each extra item. Is there a way to edit this using the app? Or do I need to use a desktop computer? If I need to use a computer is there a way…

Have I paid via Paypal or Credit Card?
Hi I've tried making a Section 75 claim on a closed credit card account. They say I used paypal to pay for the item therefore I have no Section 75 protection. My question is how can I tell if I used paypal or not? I can see the transaction in my paypal account - it says paid with Amazon credit card (which would've been a…

Customer claims item not turned up but it then arrived after I sent refund.
Around two weeks ago I sold an item - 2 of a set of 5 Allen keys for £10.85 Inc P&P. 8 days later, 5 days ago, I located one more of the set so I asked the buyer if he would like it. No thanks he said, just give me a refund as we have purchased elsewhere? Somewhat confused I replied repeating the original question and…

How do I get negative feedback removed?
Got my first negative in 12 years! Had a bad feeling about the buyer after seeing the feedback he had left for others. 60% negatives left for silly reasons "Could not follow instructions", "arrived late" (this is during the strike period), "I was wrong about ordering it", "nothing to add" - got a negative! "nothing…

Drop off rather then collection?
I have some items where I have organised the RM postage online. The free collection is booked for today. What would happen if I were to just take the items to the Post Office instead? As I haven't paid the extra to drop off, would they still be accepted? Just wondering in case the collection doesn't happen (which is a…

protection for sellers
I suspect this might raise some negative comments , but having read a similar plea on a different forum I thought It was worth raising here. There appears to be an ebay purge on serial returners, or buyers claiming an excessive number of INRs at the moment. This is not unusual for ebay, they go years without doing anything…

Ordered two of the same item from ebay, only one arrived and send via Amazon not RM as described.
I ordered two of a product from ebay. Package arrived and there is only one of the item, plus it seems to have come from and be delivered by Amazon rather than delivered by Royal Mail which is what the delivery info on the auction says it should have come by. There is tracking but with no number. I have just looked at the…

reminder about seller preferences and non payers
I thought it worth reminding about using your seller preferences to stop serial non payers from buying or bidding on your items. With people reporting an increase in non payers in some categories it is worth reviewing your seller preferences to block as many as you can, let them struggle to find sellers who will accept…
