Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels

If eBay were a person I would suggest they’d had to much to drink at lunchtime, the search has gone mad. I’m looking for a particular pair of sunglasses , using the eBay web page I put the brand in and the word sunglasses. The first thing that comes up is a Disney DVD from Australia, which doesn’t include the word…

Hi! . . I won and paid for, a fairly large wooden case tape recorder last Monday and paid the final bid price to the Seller promptly! . . .I advised the seller straight away after winning the item, that whilst I have access to a car I am unable to drive it myself due to having had eye surgery and would be relying on my…

Hi All, I received a message today from "Complete Savings" after I made a purchase on Ebay to advise that I was due some cashback on a future purchase. It looks like an obvious scam but I wanted to double check, can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance

How much are eBay’s fees on a sale? Is it 10% of what you sell an item for? thanks

As a user of ebay for over 20 years i recently discovered it was possible to bid against myself. Having placed a bid on an item in an auction i was the highest bidder for several days despite the reserve price not being met. As the auction end drew closer and after a bit more research on the product in question i decided i…

How do buyers think this works, sold a necklace Sunday, price fetched was a bit more than I expected, was priced for normal 2nd class parcel but I paid the bit extra for tracked 48 just to get a bit extra protection (I new it doesn’t have a great rep on here 🙂 ), sent Monday. Ebay tracking said it was delivered today (so…

I ordered a plastic storage box online. A logistics company was delivering it (none of the usual ones) and they arrived as scheduled. The driver said he didn’t have our parcel as the only thing he had left on his truck was a parcel saying 2 of 2 and we were only getting 1 item. He said he had mis delivered at the previous…

So I’ve been having a issue with eBay, where I sold an item, posted it special delivery next day received all confirmation from Royal Mail and buyer opened a claim a few days later saying it wasn’t delivered to him. He claims, he spoke to Royal Mail who confirmed they delivered incorrectly and they told him to ask seller…

I'm hoping to start selling some clothes with Vinted. I have only just joined Vinted, and just trying to get to grips with all the guidelines. I can see that it is quite different to shpok etc. I've tried to read the info on the app, but please can I check a couple of things with people who sell on Vinted please. With…

Hi, At this second I am extremely furious with Amazon, I have been member and shop tons there for 5 years with great track record I believe, we shop everything there unless groceries, I have multiple occassions item is not delivered on time as they promised and I generally not bothered, but this one particular order I…

Now called Orders. Really, what's the point !

Hi, I accidentally clicked 'payment received' for an item I sold at the weekend to an overseas buyer, my fault for rushing. There used to be an option to undo payment received but I can't see it. Is there a way that I can mark it as still outstanding? TIA

Another new annoying feature, On my purchase history underneath each purchased item is now an advert/sponsored items listing for "Frequently Bought Together " Might not be so bad except the first item on the list of 3 is the item purchased above and the other two have no relevance to me whatsoever...

I recently sold a projector on eBay. I used DPD local door to door and paid for extra I surance and the package was over £200. The package turned up damaged (it looked as though it has been dropped from a height or kicked around the depot). I made a claim through DPD and this was declined because a projector is a…

Just been contacted by a buyer who says they haven’t received an item. Was 2nd class small parcel Royal Mail. Tracking says is delivered, the RM app just shows a GPS location. The buyer seemed to think it might have been delivered to a neighbour. They are perfectly friendly at the moment, but is there anything I can do my…

Was talking to someone yesterday who sells on Vinted and likes using it. Ive always sold on Ebay but decided today to give Vinted a try.

Hi there. I am a bit confused regarding sending an item I’ve sold on Vinted. I’ve got the link to go onto RM website to buy the postage - it has automatically come up as 2nd class standard, but I am going to up it to Special Delivery due to the nature of the item. Can I just go to post office & send the parcel as normal?…

Hi, I am seeking opinion of others to establish if I'm wrong or not. I send a fair few letters by Royal Mail 2nd Class using labels generated from a sales platform. The letters are always within the standard letter size and weight limit of 100g. The sales platform auto-populates the letter weight. Today one of the labels…
