Private a/c - can you give an agreed partial refund for a returned item?
Hi So I sold an expensive brand new and sealed item a few weeks back. After two weeks of using the item, the buyer wants to return it simply because they don't like it - they even mentioned it's not faulty just not for their photography needs/wants. Obviously I'm NOT happy as the value is now far less than it was when I…

Problem getting damaged goods back
A buyer contacted us 3 months after buying an item on ebay to say it was damaged. It was not damaged when we sent it but too late to claim from Royal Mail. We spend hours trying to sort this out for her, even though we were not obliged to do so. We even liaised with her plumber for him to fit the part. Eventually, the…

Ebay Classified Ad - Any pitfalls?

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…

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.

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…
