EBay keep defaulting to recommended price
I haven’t used EBay to sell anything for years. I’m trying to create a new listing but it keeps suggesting starting the auction at a ridiculously low price. When I try to alter that, and no matter how much I toggle on/off the ‘auction’ and ‘buy it now’ options, once I hit preview it always goes back to the recommended…

Vinted sales
Hi, I'm really confused by the new rules around selling second hand clothes online. So I sell a lot of my kids clothes online via vinted when they have out grown them. I don't go anywhere near the £1000 threshold but have also seen things about limits of 30 sales. Does this mean if I do 30 sales but am well below the £1000…

Item Not As Described ...
So I'd been looking on ebay for some desktop lamps, and saw some very nice tiffany style animal lamps - there were quite a few sellers with the same range, same pictures, and mostly all were Chinese sellers. They were pretty cheap and only about 8" high, and my mum liked the look of one too, so i ordered a pair i saw from…

Any idea how to get the year or month totals of eBay fees ?
Hi im doing my books and last year they had fees on invoices that you could total up.

I've got three Ebay single-item orders that I'm waiting for, and today I received a small Jiffy Bag addressed to "The Occupier" at my address, with a fake return address on it (the postcode in Manchester doesn't exist).
