eBay issue
I have a problem and not sure if I am doing the right thing. Some opinions would be welcome. I sold an item, after the transaction, and before it sent it, the buyer sent me a message informing me of a different address to sent it to. When I came to send out all my items I printed the address from the ebay transaction page…

Can't print DPD label using Packlink
when I create a label with DPD using Packlink, the label is in the very top left hand corner of the page on the preview, and when I print it out, it cuts off the top and the left by a 3-4mm so the address isn't readable. the only options I have are to make it bigger, If I scale it up to fit printable area it still cuts off…

Neutral feedbacks
I've had 100% positive feedback on ebay up until the last week, out of 24 items sold I've now just had 8 where buyers have left feedback, all positive apart from my first 3 neutrals, Strange thing is the comments are: "Great item, speedy delivery" "good service and items" "thanks" No contact from any of the buyers. I'm…

Best place to sell art prints
As per title where do you get the most success with selling art prints? It's outside my field of expertise. I know there's Ebay, Etsy, Artsy and more but it's always difficult to work out where the buyers are. I'll probably have a play with a few to see what works but thought I'd ask if anyone has any first or second hand…

Banned on Vinted!
I have been banned on Vinted (selling items I shouldn’t have been apparently… like Christmas decorations a while ago and most recently some unused postpartum items 😕 I’m not a scammer!). I made some purchases in the last few days… am I still going to receive my items?! Will the sellers be notified I am banned and then not…

Ebay purchase not covered by manufacturers guarantee, seller's listing claimed it was
I bought a 'New Other' Beko Fridge Freezer last November from Ebay, which has a fault. The sellers listing said it was brand new, and had full Beko warranty, which is why I bought it. But, I've just spoken to Beko (who consulted their head office) and they've told me that as it was manufactured in 2020 and sold by an ebay…

Selling a lot of very old books - worth it?
As part of a house clearance we have a lot of very old books. Most of them were bought as a box of 30 or so from auctions over the years. Some of theses are still unboxed. They are mostly 19th century and in variable condition. Mostly reference books and classic literature and encylocpedias. Is it worth our time to try and…

Parcel delivery companies
Does anyone else have problems with the parcel delivery companies? I'm pulling my hair out! UPS delivered a parcel for me and it was badly damaged, this parcel is a hard case designed to protect a valuable musical instrument.

Sales limit of £1000 for HMRC on eBay ?
i May have read this wrong, but I believe that HMRC now want tax paid on ALL eBay sales once you pass a £1000 threshold, that’s turnover NOT profit. Apparently this was introduced because during covid there was an increase in people selling from home (sourcing items to sell) and a proper little cottage industry was…

DHL did not pick up parcel at agreed time and I lost work as a consequence
I have had a parcel collection booked for before 1130am today and they have not been. It's only just 20 minutes late but I had work booked for the afternoon from 12 onwards, and as a consequence, I have had to cancel this agreed work, which sets me back around £450 (pre-tax). This collection was booked as Emergency…

Any lawyers out there - eBay scam
Last July I sold a bike on eBay. The bike sold for £155 and the buyer came to collect it. he took it for a test ride down to the end of the street, declared himself happy, scanned the QR Code to acknowledge collection and drove off with his new bike. Ebay took its cut and I was left with my £130ish - much needed! Three…

HMRC and eBay. Anyone Else Think The Thresholds Are A Bit Low? 30 Items A Year Is NOT a Lot
I can understand the financial thresholds. I don't have a problem with that and it ties in with the £1k trading allowance. I completely understand they want to catch Bodyshop at Home and we've all bought mobile phone cables from that place in Manchester that claims to be a private seller but has 2,000 identical auctions…

Hi, I'm getting confused. I am registered as self employed and informed HMRC in 2021 that I earnt very little online and was a semi retired housewife. They wrote back saying I did not need to fill in a self assessment online after 2022 unless asked to. My situation has now changed, I am now a widow, no income except the…

Clarity Needed for 30 eBay items or £1k of Sales for HMRC
Hi I have read a lot around this topic but one thing that is not clear is the following: Do selling platforms (ie ebay, vinted, depop etc) report the seller to HMRC once the 30 items or when £1k has been met? - I guess whichever comes first. So I could sell 30 items @ £1 for ebay, 30 items on Depop and 30 items on Vinted…

Purchasing Royal Mail Postage Online
I usually purchase my postage labels via eBay and then drop off to the Post Office. However, having sold an item through an online forum, if I go to the Royal Mail website in order to purchase postage, while going through the steps I only get an option to arrange a free collection. While a free collection is great, I'm at…
