Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels

I have an item listed & got an offer made. I priced knowing full well people on Vinted seem to be cheekier than other platforms but this person was extra cheeky. I was alerted of this via a Vinted notification on my phone home screen. I declined their offer & thought ok let's meet in the middle & never heard from them…

Amazon have just gifted me 4 bottles of supplements. (They sent the wrong item, and don't want it back.) They are Solgar supplement tablets in a glass bottle. Worth £6 a bottle, or so. I thought I might sell them on eBay. I'm a private seller, and I'll price them a bit lower than the other sellers. This sort of thing:-…

Sold a couple of books recently in auctions. They went for £1 each which was what I'd listed them for, so kind of disappointing, but I'd added £2.94 to each to pay for postage and packing. They both went to the same buyer and I printed off the pre-paid label and posted the package. I expected to receive payment for the…

I suspect sellers on Vinted all have received this message, not sure if they have also sent them out on Ebay as I don't use Yodel at all on there. "Hi, Earlier this year, we announced that Yodel became a part of InPost UK. From 15th September 2025, you may notice some changes as we update our brand to Yodel by InPost.…

I`m a private seller selling a mixture of items but mainly knitting patterns. Periodically I go through the boxes and check whether the listing is still ` live`. A lot of them seem to go off the radar and disappear so I am now listing them as BIN rather than auction.. Has anyone else experienced this?

TLDR: is there a way of sending preloved knitting to the Netherlands without the recipient having to pay tax on arrival? The details: I am about to become a Grandma. I am here in the UK, Baby is in Amsterdam. I knit. I am already a Great Aunt, and some of the things I have knitted for my Great Niblings have been returned…

Hi, I bought a TV from a company trading on eBay, on arrival some issues with screen. They've been great and quickly arrange a collection for me, which is for tomorrow. But, the collecting firm - called AIT - are apparently going to bring the postage label with them - so I won't have a copy of it. I will take a photo of…

Hello everyone, I ordered something from ebay but it was out of stock, wasn't desperate for it so waited. It was marked as despatched a month after the original order, but still hasn't arrived. I contacted ebay and they say the buyer protection expires 30 days after the original delivery estimate, not when it's actually…

Can anyone give any feedback on this firm which distributes brochures, advertising these roadshows where apparently they buy things for cash?

I'm interested in what folks think about what feedback I should leave on ebay. I was looking for some adapter/connector widgets. I filtered for item location as UK. All the prices, pictures and descriptions were similar, usual for this type of thing. I picked a seller, 99.4%, and ordered 3, total just under £10, delivery…

Hello all, looking for any guidance you may have. I recently sent an item to a company who offer repairs. The company provided the evri label for me to use to send the item to them. Evri have proof of delivery but the delivery photo looks like it is in the middle of a road or at least nowhere near the delivery address…

I am in desperate need of help please - I don't know where to turn now, my mental health is rock bottom. Sorry, it's a long one - On 3rd May, I purchased an art deco diamond watch – details above from a shop called who is a business seller on Ebay. I received the watch on the 6th but as I have arthritis in my hands, I…

The listing was for food processor components (bowl, knives, etc) as the main unit has sadly died. The buyer opened a case claiming "the item is not as described" because the main unit is missing. The main unit was never included in the listing in the first place, there was no pictures of it either. The listing clearly…

Hi there, I am new to the ebay forum so wanted to say hello first! I was wondering if anyone can help with the rules surrounding ebay sales as a private seller. I am a "self-employed" photographer and are closing my Studio. Over the last 8 years I have purchased equipment that I will no longer need and are looking to sell…

I get this occasionally, I see the note left at checkout "please post asap" etc.. today I saw the sale notification whilst at work so I knew it had sold, but upon returning home from work I see they left a note at checkout, "please post today" so now instead of finding the item, putting it in a box, and creating a label…

I had a potential buyer get in touch & want clarification on what I'm listing. I can only imagine it's because some morons don't put the appropriate info in their listing. So say I'm selling an iPhone 16, they got in touch asking if it's the 16, pro, pro max etc when the listing title clearly states iPhone 16. But I…

I know there is a post on here about this company but the last entry was over 2 years ago. So I'm wondering if anyone has any recent experience of them please, good or bad?

trying to get my mum verified on vinted so she can withdrawal the £30 she made. The only accepted forms of ID for the UK are driving license and passport. She has neither She is stuck in an endless loop of automated answers and advisors that aren’t actually reading what is being written. Tried the complaint email, which…

I’ve been out of action for two months and haven’t been well enough to list anything on eBay. However, since last week I’ve listed one item a day (ladies clothes) and now have 7 listed. It’s absolutely dead, no watchers and barely any views. Is everyone now buying from Vinted?
