Overweight parcel when not overweight
Has anyone ever sent a parcel with Royal Mail which has been rejected and returned for being overweight (when it's not overweight). Posted a RM 48 parcel on Monday, weighs just over 6kg but purchased the up to 10kg medium parcel on RM website, just went on to tracking today to check it's progress and it says: "Rejected…

I've had some fast sales in my time, but I've just had the fastest yet. I'm making the most of the totally free listings on my private account , just mass listing box loads of stored items that I've had for years - and had prepared a bunch of photos to list things this afternoon. Listed one item and by the time I had…

Cheaper to send a package than a large letter via Royal Mail? [Tracked, Europe]
According to the latest Royal Mail prices, it is cheaper to tracked item to Europe as a package than it is to send it as a large letter. Seems a bit counter-intuitive to me but the facts speak for themselves: Online price guide (valid from 2 April 2024) (royalmail.com) The figures seem to match those of the Click and Drop…

Selling decades-long model railway magazine collection
Hi, my Dad was a lifelong steam railway enthusiast and after he passed away last year we’d love to sell his collections of model railway magazines, full sets, decades-long. No idea what value they might be but think best to sell than just give away. I’m looking for ideas on where we’d find potential buyers, whether eBay or…

Amazon didn't deliver even though OTP was given - refusing refund
I ordered a Macbook from Amazon on the 10th of March, totalling £1550. The item was to be delivered on Tuesday 12th March using a OTP (one time password) which I would need to give to the driver to confirm delivery. I had multiple items coming this day. Laptop stand, docking hub, keyboard, cables, and the Macbook. All…

Royal Mail Shipping via ebay. Benefits and how to pay? + tracking question.
hi. using tracked 48 as an example. it's the same cost (£3.29+16p to take to post office) if purchased via ebay or directly from RM. is there an actual benefit of buying through ebay? i assume the tracking auto populates rather than having to manually input the details? my main reason for this point is that it appears the…

Buyer requests shipping to an excluded location
I auctioned a camera on eBay. The winner of the auction wants me to quote for shipping overseas to an excluded country. I also put in the description "Shipping to UK only. Do not bid if you want this shipped elsewhere" The buyer also have zero feedback. They've also not yet paid. This sounds like the start of a scam to me.…

Collected Item Won't Disappear
In January I had a collection only item that was collected in person and paid in cash. As it was cash we didn't bother with the collection code. It's still sitting in the sold items saying Buyer Paid- Send Now. How can I get rid of this or is doomed to be there for ever?

What is a proper way to sell a bicycle on eBay now?
I bought and sold 4 bikes on eBay in the past, the last time was in early 2020, just before Covid lockdowns started. I am assuming that nobody sane is likely to buy a bicycle without trying, so it has to be collection in person only. In old days the buyer would come up to the door, tried the bike on the street for a bit,…

Ebay fail to provide sign-in verification
Phoned ebad, Mexico & several US centres. Every time they agreed to change my landline verification details , which do not work thanks to ebay glitch, to my mobile details, but the wasters, who I was spending a few hundred quid a month with, fail to do anything. I`m left with the laborious effort of signing in as a guest.…

Using RM Tracked at the Post Office
I always try to use stamps on my parcels for various reasons, so I was a bit disappointed to see that the £50 insurance for RM Signed has been reduced to £20 in the latest price changes. Looking at the new RM price guide I see that they are now including RM Tracked 24 & 48 prices, which are a little more than the online…

Posting Commemorative Coins ?
Hi. Just read somewhere that the only way to send Commemorative Mint coins for eBay sales is via Royal Mail Special Delivery in order to have insurance protection, as they're legal tender. Is this correct ? I've sent £5 Silver Proof Coins in the past via Tracked 48, but on a value of say £30, makes no sense sending Special…

How long after receiving an item does an buyer have to reject it and ask for a return?
How long after receiving an item does an eBay buyer have to reject it and ask for a return? I sold an old (but working) phone on eBay. I tested it before listing it and tested it again as I was packaging it to send to the buyer. It worked fine. The buyer received it 19 days ago. They now want to reject it as they say it…

I am a private seller of household surplus. I list my items for collection in person. In the description I specify collect within 7 days. I sold an item which was immediately paid for. I have offered many collection times. Today is day 8. I've had countless messages from the buyer. How can I get her to commit to collect? I…

Selling old jewellery
I’ve got some old jewellery I don’t want - some 925 silver, gold and some foreign marked pieces. Where’s the best place to sell? I don’t want to individually sell on eBay- much rather get rid of it in one/two goes then dribs and drabs. Thanks

What is Ebay Virtual Tracking Number?
Sometimes my daughter asks me to post on her behalf so she would forward me her Ebay email which has the buyer's address etc. Today I noticed that email also contains a 7 figure Ebay virtual tracking number. Checked my other half's sale notification email and that too has the similar number. None of my notifications have…
