Couriers legal responsibilitie
A large well known couriers accepted breaking and not delivering an item from France. The item also incurred duties coming into the UK. The company reimbursed me for the value of the item but not the cost of delivery or the duties. They argue that my level of delivery doesn't entitle me to a refund. This surely cannot be…

for international postage? For example, I have
2 x 1st class barcoded Prince Charles head stamps purchased before
April, for £1:10 each. If they are now worth £1:35 each, are two of…

AliExpress Message Center.
Made quite a large order from AliExpress (multiple sellers). Not bought anything from them for over 2 years and noticed almost every order had a message about changing the order and to leave a note to the seller but changes cannot be guaranteed.

I sell only my own assets at a loss, but more than 30 per year. Do I need to tell HMRC?
I am a very active ebayer. Everything I buy for myself or home will usually end up on ebay once I'm done with it. Electronics, homeware, clothing - if it's worth selling then I'll sell it. 95% of what I sell is used goods of my own which I sell at a loss compared to what I paid for it, with the occasional 'profit' sale of…

Swatch Omega Watch Bought At Auction
Hi, Last week I bought a lot of two watches from an auction house in Taunton, and one was a Swatch Omega Watch.

Should I let buyer send a courier?
I’ve sold a picture for £100, said collection only or I could deliver locally. Buyer has paid and has 100% positive feedback, but says they want to arrange a courier to come to my house to collect at their expense. I think I saw something once saying this is a red flag, but I’m tempted to say yes. What should I do?
