My eBay buyer wasn’t happy with the dress I sold her so I sent her a eBay postage label and a refund immediately. She claimed the label came up blank when she clicked it and asked for my address which I gave. I’ve messaged her twice asking for updates since then I’ve heard nothing. It’s been a week. She has my money and my…

Police Auctions
I've just come across this website, it's an auction for the Police. Stolen and lost property, there are some real bargains on their... bikes for £1 Unfortunately for me they all seem to be down south and if you're the lucky bidder you need to pick it up. But if you live in the right area you could bag yourself a bargain.…

How to deal with unfair negative feedback?
I've been on ebay for many years with a good track record but recently have had a spate of people leaving negative feedback for unfair reasons.

Reduced FV fees optimism!
Just curious to know, has anyone had "FV fees offers" re-instated after a long period of not getting them? I have not had any offers for almost 18 months and I know there are a lot of people in the same boat hence the question. Would be nice to know there is light at the end of the tunnel and we might get them back at some…

Dummy Listings?
Noticed people have been listing items at crazy high prices, or creating blank listings, during the fee reduction offer weekends, simply as placeholders. They then later go back and edit the listing at a later date with the correct item/price! Isn't this against the terms? Would the discounted rate still apply for listings…

Offers this weekend
Hmm I got e-Mail today offering my usual 70% off, I’ve just clicked through the link to accept both on my phone to the app and computer and I’m getting ’Sorry this promotional offer is not for you’ I hope this is just a temporary glitch. I noticed it wasn’t on MyEbay either where I can sometimes see it.

Selling a higher value item
I want to sell a pair of designer trainers I won as they are not a good fit. They retail at £475. 100% of the proceeds, after costs, will be going to a rewilding project and animal sanctuary run by another MSE member. What would be the best way to sell them? I am wary of scams because of the value and would welcome some…

AliExpress Refund Nightmare
Ordered from AliExpress last month for the first time. Needed a new phone screen and it seemed the only place to get one. 10 days later the package turned up, and it was completely empty. Just cardboard, no screen. Immediately reported to AliExpress, their "Buyer Protection" blurb seems pretty robust. Anyway, refund…

How to speak to a real eBay person ?
I used to be able to go on to the chat 'robot' and ask for a phone call. The automated response would ask to confirm my telephone number and that was that. Within a couple of minutes I was talking and solving whatever problem I had. Has this changed now .. I am not just stuck in a loop and can not get to talk to anybody ..…

Firstly for some odd reason when I open my ebay account on the PC the page shoots down to the bottom and I have to keep manually moving it to the top.
