Return not in same condition
Item sold mid Oct. An SSD enclosure that was brand new still sealed in retail package. Buyer received, left positive feedback saying everything was great. 2 weeks later I receive an item not received case! eBay took over as I used simple delivery and closed in my favour. Buyer then straight away opens an item not as…

EVRI - Whole Company a Scam?
Hi Katie, In all seriousness, is EVRI just a massive scam operation, honouring a small number of parcel deliveries to appear legit while taking thousands of pounds of customers money, knowing full well the original retailer is liable for the refund? They seem like crooks to me... Especially after my sixth parcel has just…

Offsetting Tax Against Buying Costs
I've started buying from liquidation auctions and then re-selling on eBay. Can I claim the buyer's commission cost and postage from the liquidation auctions against income tax? I'm struggling to find a correct answer online. Thanks for any replies.

Unsold listings disappearing....
Could anyone shed any light on this difficulty.? I sell knitting patterns and when the auction is over, I relist them. When I checked one of the boxes only some of them appear to be relisted so I would say about half need to be done again and relisted which is quite a chore. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Vinted pending to available balance
I’ve used Vinted for quite some time now and usually when a sale is completed the funds are transferred from pending to available straight away. I had 3 sales complete yesterday afternoon and the funds are still in pending! I’ve googled it (as the Vinted forum is no longer available!) and some searches say it should be an…

Drop-off at locker. No email confirmation.
I recently started using locker drop-off when sending ebay parcels. I always enter my email address as prompted but never get a confirmation email. I've double-checked that I am spelling it correctly, I've tried two different email addresses (btinternet and gmail) and checked spam/junk folders. If I log into my ebay…

Numpty ebay questions
It is a long time since I last sold on ebay and things appear to have changed somewhat. As a private seller I used to offer free postage and send with stamps I already have with proof of posting from the post office- no point in sending tracked as these are low value items. Gone to list something pet related today and…

Royal Mail prices
I have just changed my postage prices on eBay for international post. I have put in the price I wish to charge but when I checked it the price is more than I entered. Do RM now charge extra on top of what I charge? I have never seen this before.

Feedback if refunded
An item hasn't been dispatched that I bought over a week ago, non-responsive seller, and I didn't do my due diligence beforehand - I thought their % was high enough - but from other feedback about them selling this type of item it looks like I probably won't be getting anything. (Simple delivery, if that's relevant; no…

Valuing Assets for Probate Retrospectively
I am trying to value assets for probate 3 years after the person who owns the assets passed away. I have read that many people doing this over value personal items and that it is wiser to value them at the market price (the price that buyers are willing to pay). I have tried to find the 'sold' price by using ebay's 'sold…

Amazon returns - but without the returns label?
Trying to see what the situation is here because I've never experienced it before. My mother bought something on Amazon & put in to return it. I don't know what her options were when putting in for the refund but she's selected to print the label off at home, probably because she knows I have a printer. I can't remember…

Vinted-Yodel
I sell quite a bit on Vinted as a Pro Seller. For various reasons I am unable to use any other postage options than Yodel and only so only offer Yodel. Today I have three orders for three different courier options that I can not use. I have had to cancel them all. One buyer tried to buy again but said Yodel isn't being…

Made a mistake with postage, what can I do?
I sold an item and for the first time ever I undercharged on postage, my fault and Im fine with paying the difference myself. Its a quite fragile item and I had the weight and box but on packing it is evident that I need far more bubble wrap than I first thought. Of course this makes the parcel a lot bigger. It is simple…

Validity of old commemorative stamps.
I have some greeting stamp booklets (unused stamps) from 1996 etc. As far as I know, these stamps can still be used as they are commemoratives and I have been using them whenever possible to post Ebay items. Someone has just queried the validity of these stamps. I can't find the link on the Royal Mail website to show that…

Simple Delivery Label Frustrations
When printing simple deliver labels is there a way to get them all at once? Currently, I open my orders page on ebay then I am right-clicking 'get prepaid label' and selecting 'open in new tab' then, get label, print etc.. So if I have 4 items to send I end up with somewhere between 4 and 8 open tabs then have to click…

How to provide next day delivery?
Hi, Am selling an item which is under this Simple Delivery. Someone wants it posting next day which I'm happy to do, but as it is under the Simple Delivery I cannot see how to allow this. Via Evri direct it is only £3.20 for next day. I thought I could maybe change the listing to say Seller pays delivery, and increase the…

Odd international returns request
I (private seller in UK) sold an item on ebay to the USA. I posted directly via royal mail so paid both the postage and the import/tariff duty. Item was ordered on the 22nd and posted the same day. Today (24th) the buyer has opened a returns request with the reason 'ordered by mistake' which seems a little hasty as I doubt…
