Felt threatened by Evri courier but can't get through to Evri
Confronted the Evri courier today after a spate of crushed packages, incorrect deliveries and today, the sound of a package hitting the door, clearly having been thrown from the street to the doorstep. It was the last straw so I opened the door and asked the courier to not throw packages. He denied it and I repeated my…

Custom postage is usually the box on the right for me, SD on the left and I choose between them. This morning the boxes are transposed, SD now shows on the right- but if you click…

eBay delivery estimates screwy again!
Anyone else here have this problem? Everyone who bought from us over the weekend (after Saturday cut-off) and was offered either 2nd class large letter or RM 48 expected their item Monday morning! I'd be laughing inanely if it wasn't so distressing and all the ramifications!

Question Regarding Delivery on Ebay
I have an item I’ve listed as collection in person as the item is quite heavy. Someone is interested in buying it and they asked if I could post it. It’s a home entertainment system with a sub woofer weighing 25kg. I said I could hand deliver it and they have agreed and a price for our time. I’ve never done anything like…

Inpost mistake/Vinted lack of Customer service
Morning I ordered an item on Vinted. When I collected and opened the parcel, it wasn't my item. There was a different name on the parcel. I raised an issue with Vinted.

Combining postage
Recently I asked about combining postage for Simple delivery - I found out it was not possible to do so just left it. What about combining postage for custom postage items? Does it work like before? Buyer puts them in his basket and asks me to revise the postage? How does it work? Buyer wants to purchase 6 items - all…

'dispatch overdue' glitch
EDIT as sort of resolved. I got through to live chat and after a brief discussion with 2 different reps was told 'Please be assured, I can see that it is a temporary technical issue. It won't impact your account.'. Apparently if it is still there next week I should contact them again. So the usual 'we don't know what's…

Better seller protection for INR cases
I’m trying to find a proper link but if this link works it is extremely good news for INR cases where sellers buy the labels through eBay. https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Announcements/Extended-Item-Not-Received-protections/ba-p/7935421 What’s changing? Before: Seller issues a refund to close an INR case. If the parcel is…

Ebay so called Simple Delivery and Buyer Protection. Double Jeopardy?
Being a long standing seller on ebay I have seen a lot of changes over the years, some for the better but more recently the majority for the worse. Despite reassurances that all existing listings the postage prices will stay the same until sold I have noticed that a lot have automatically switched over to so called simple…

Why are sellers having to pay the buyer's protection fee on EBay if we, as sellers, accept an offer?
I don't quite understand how this works. If a buyer on EBay now pays their buyer's protection fee, why does the seller have to pay this for the buyer if the seller accepts an offer at a lower price? Surely the buyer should still have to pay the protection fee themselves?

Ebay - can anyone explain auction with best offer?
I was interested in an item with a starting price of £3.50, I was going to bid my maximum of £10. About half an hour before the auction end time the item went to £10 with 1 bid. As this was my maximum I didn't bid but wonder how an item would go straight to £10? I presume there was a best offer of £10 and this eliminated…

My elderly father in law bought a niche item from a private seller for over £300, advertised "in good working order" was advertised with postage or collection, but the seller lived a couple of miles away and was "passing by" so delivered the item to him.
