Best place to sell art prints
As per title where do you get the most success with selling art prints? It's outside my field of expertise. I know there's Ebay, Etsy, Artsy and more but it's always difficult to work out where the buyers are. I'll probably have a play with a few to see what works but thought I'd ask if anyone has any first or second hand…

Banned on Vinted!
I have been banned on Vinted (selling items I shouldn’t have been apparently… like Christmas decorations a while ago and most recently some unused postpartum items 😕 I’m not a scammer!). I made some purchases in the last few days… am I still going to receive my items?! Will the sellers be notified I am banned and then not…

(£2.33).The DVD hadn't arrived after a couple of weeks and the seller promptly gave me a refund as had no other copies and advised to buy elsewhere.

Ebay purchase not covered by manufacturers guarantee, seller's listing claimed it was
I bought a 'New Other' Beko Fridge Freezer last November from Ebay, which has a fault. The sellers listing said it was brand new, and had full Beko warranty, which is why I bought it. But, I've just spoken to Beko (who consulted their head office) and they've told me that as it was manufactured in 2020 and sold by an ebay…

Selling a lot of very old books - worth it?
As part of a house clearance we have a lot of very old books. Most of them were bought as a box of 30 or so from auctions over the years. Some of theses are still unboxed. They are mostly 19th century and in variable condition. Mostly reference books and classic literature and encylocpedias. Is it worth our time to try and…

Parcel delivery companies
Does anyone else have problems with the parcel delivery companies? I'm pulling my hair out! UPS delivered a parcel for me and it was badly damaged, this parcel is a hard case designed to protect a valuable musical instrument. They say I didn't wrap it correctly - it was wrapped in cardboard - but my point is its not a…

Sales limit of £1000 for HMRC on eBay ?
i May have read this wrong, but I believe that HMRC now want tax paid on ALL eBay sales once you pass a £1000 threshold, that’s turnover NOT profit. Apparently this was introduced because during covid there was an increase in people selling from home (sourcing items to sell) and a proper little cottage industry was…

DHL did not pick up parcel at agreed time and I lost work as a consequence
I have had a parcel collection booked for before 1130am today and they have not been. It's only just 20 minutes late but I had work booked for the afternoon from 12 onwards, and as a consequence, I have had to cancel this agreed work, which sets me back around £450 (pre-tax). This collection was booked as Emergency…

Any lawyers out there - eBay scam
Last July I sold a bike on eBay. The bike sold for £155 and the buyer came to collect it. he took it for a test ride down to the end of the street, declared himself happy, scanned the QR Code to acknowledge collection and drove off with his new bike. Ebay took its cut and I was left with my £130ish - much needed! Three…

HMRC and eBay. Anyone Else Think The Thresholds Are A Bit Low? 30 Items A Year Is NOT a Lot
I can understand the financial thresholds. I don't have a problem with that and it ties in with the £1k trading allowance. I completely understand they want to catch Bodyshop at Home and we've all bought mobile phone cables from that place in Manchester that claims to be a private seller but has 2,000 identical auctions…

CAN I CHOOSE WHAT I DECLARE TO HMRC AS TRADING ON EBAY
Hi, I'm getting confused. I am registered as self employed and informed HMRC in 2021 that I earnt very little online and was a semi retired housewife. They wrote back saying I did not need to fill in a self assessment online after 2022 unless asked to. My situation has now changed, I am now a widow, no income except the…

Clarity Needed for 30 eBay items or £1k of Sales for HMRC
Hi I have read a lot around this topic but one thing that is not clear is the following: Do selling platforms (ie ebay, vinted, depop etc) report the seller to HMRC once the 30 items or when £1k has been met? - I guess whichever comes first. So I could sell 30 items @ £1 for ebay, 30 items on Depop and 30 items on Vinted…

Every password I input it just reloads the ‘choose new password’ screen, no message to say what the issue is with the…

Purchasing Royal Mail Postage Online
I usually purchase my postage labels via eBay and then drop off to the Post Office. However, having sold an item through an online forum, if I go to the Royal Mail website in order to purchase postage, while going through the steps I only get an option to arrange a free collection. While a free collection is great, I'm at…

Dodgy Buyer?
Sold a Laptop Battery on Ebay. It arrived today and the buyer has already been in contact to say that the Battery Health is showing as poor. (He included a screenshot, but no evidence it's the battery I sent) He asked if I could send him a replacement, which I agreed to. He then said he is away travelling so cannot send…

Parcels over 2kg
Just paid £6.49 for a Tracked 48 medium parcel with Royal Mail, value was too much to risk 2nd Class especially with the bad weather. Looking on Parcel2go there are a few drop off options that are cheaper, although only by £1 or so, but the drop off points are all really far away where we live. What services do people use…

Does Paypal charge a fee to buy on AliExpress
I want to buy an item, which costs about a tenner in the UK, but I could get it for just over £1 on AliExpress with a few weeks wait .. no problem. I'm not sure how safe it is to give bank details but I do have an old PayPal account which is still active, although it hasn't been used since eBay stopped using it. Would…
