Ebay Classified Ad - Any pitfalls?
I did some reading about this before listing my item (a used car) as a classified ad. I used a classified listing because I read that there are less risks involved with INR/NAD claims.....basically it said that buyers cannot raise these types of cases on a classified ad.....great! Last thing I want is to sell a car to a…

Is there any way to sell alcohol?
Got a bottle of Ciroc pineapple vodka a while ago from duty free and unlikely to get around to drinking it (barely bother with alcohol these days - novelty wore off) Had a look of eBay and Facebook, and both will not allow alcohol to be sold. No idea if amazon Marketplace allows this? Is there any way of selling something…

eBay Tax Return and Stock Held ?
So I've registered for 2023/24 Self Assessment for the 1st time, as after 50+ years, I now exceed the £1k / 30 item benchmark by buying goods to resell on eBay.

Abusive Buyer
I posted yesterday about a usb splitter that wasn't working properly. As it was over 30 days I realised after chat on here that I wasn't entitled to anything. But before I posted on here I messaged the seller to ask advice and mentioned that it wasnt working properly. I also had tried to use the eBay help bot about items…

Failed collection or lost parcel?
Dropped off an item (value £130) for DPD at my local Post Office (which is also a DPD collection point). As its a small post office, they tend to tell customers to place their boxes by a cage at the side of the small store so its easier to collect by the courier. Always nervous to do this as its in open reach of anyone…

Just wondering what daft requests you’ve had on EBay? Prompted by me selling a used XBox game which to be honest I was just clearing out and expecting not much so I accepted £2 offer. To be followed by a message from buyer saying he didn’t have enough money on his debit card to cover it. (Separate question whether he had…
