It was just a normal letter and it has still not arrived. Is ages since I last sent something by post so wondered if its become the norm for it to take this long. Its going…

Smart practice or sharp practice
I've been selling for a few weeks the vast collection of childrens soft toys we had accumulated.Now I've been grouping them into groups of 3 or 4 of a similar nature and list them in batches because of the time involved. I've had a few occasions where the same person has bought 5 or 6 of these groups and of course I reduce…

Ebay Issues
Hi All, I have been having issues with eBay for a few weeks. Basically I wanted to buy a number of items from a seller who was going to offer combined postage to me. When I put in the offers the payments were automatically taken as individual lots rather than as one invoiced payment. The seller was then unhappy with me as…

I sent a new jacket, and the buyer sent me photos showing the same (?) jacket badly damaged!
Hello, I have a problem, I've sold a new (without tags) branded, faux lether jacket on eBay. It was not used at all, just been at my home for some time. It was in good condition, I have photos for this. The buyer got it and immediately requested a refund and sent photos with a jacket really badly damaged. She says the…

Royal Mail Online Postage
https://send.royalmail.com/ Is anybody else seeing this problem please? Although you can enter the address manually on the next section the site won't let you book a collection as it can't verify the collection address. Had to purchase a label via eBay yesterday and that worked with a collection but I don't like their…

eBay 'local bargains' search
A while ago I bookmarked a link that would automatically do a search on eBay for local collection only items. I think it was called 'local bargain finder' Occasionally it wouldn't work, or say there were no items meeting the criteria. But now the link doesn't work at all. Anyone know of an alternative tool I could use…

No returns accepted
Hello, I've just bought a 'new' purse from an ebay seller, and it smells very strongly of cigarettes. My friend was here and confirmed she could also smell it. I contacted the seller who had stated 'no returns'. She said I could try a return request. I tried twice and it is blocked. I also tried an ebay request, that is…

Royal Mail .... sigh!
I'm sure my area isn't alone in not having post delivered for days on end. We've been told that RM have issued the instruction that all posties concentrate on parcels as RM make more money from that and to ignore the day to day post stacking up. I know several people who have missed deadlines / appointments because time…

eBay verification
"Looks like you're using a different computer. Please verify yourself", says the message when I try to log on to eBay. I'm not using a different computer, nor a different browser. To verify I have to call a number that looks like an Italian number. What is happening here? I've never had this before. Is there any way to get…

What would be the additional charges for ordering an item online from france?
I saw that this subforum also lists post and parcels however it was unclear whether it means post and parcels pertaining to online selling only or if general post and parcel queries go here too. So posting here and please let me know if the former is the case rather than the latter. I want a specialist keyboard which is…

Ebay fees remaining despite refunding buyer
So, bit of a weird one. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with Ebay fees, owing or not owing - so to speak! And how you contacted Ebay to get any sort of resolution. In August, we listed a couple of extremely heavy bits of equipment on Ebay - we’re talking over 250Kg per item stuff, collection only, of course.…

large increase in overseas buyers
In the past week or two I've noticed the number of overseas sellers has increased significantly. I've also had a fair proportion of buyers using GSP but these current buyers have been the old fashioned 'send to a shipping company at Heathrow' type, I'd stopped getting these in the past year or so. I've had about 1 in 4 or…

Ebay postal options
I am selling an item on ebay. It's been a while since I sold on Ebay and the process of choosing which service to post your item has changed a lot in this time. I wanted to only sell in the UK. Initially I wanted to put p&p at £3.50 but ebay kept defaulting to £6.99 so I left it at that. I now have 1 bidder who is in…

Ebay V Royal Mail online labels- price differences
Firstly I am aware that we don't all have the same ebay view when using ebay, I actually see different screen arrangements when switching between my accounts. However the actual prices and sizes are the same whichever account I use and in many cases ebay are more expensive than RM direct. Firstly, and I have moaned about…

I am selling an item, which consists of two parts .. one quite large flat shaped section and the other a small, but heavy piece. I have charged £10 delivery. It's an auction item, with bids already, but ends in a few days I've been thinking about sending the two sections as two different parcels, mainly because getting…
