Numpty ebay questions
It is a long time since I last sold on ebay and things appear to have changed somewhat. As a private seller I used to offer free postage and send with stamps I already have with proof of posting from the post office- no point in sending tracked as these are low value items. Gone to list something pet related today and…

Royal Mail prices
I have just changed my postage prices on eBay for international post. I have put in the price I wish to charge but when I checked it the price is more than I entered. Do RM now charge extra on top of what I charge? I have never seen this before.

Feedback if refunded
An item hasn't been dispatched that I bought over a week ago, non-responsive seller, and I didn't do my due diligence beforehand - I thought their % was high enough - but from other feedback about them selling this type of item it looks like I probably won't be getting anything. (Simple delivery, if that's relevant; no…

Valuing Assets for Probate Retrospectively
I am trying to value assets for probate 3 years after the person who owns the assets passed away. I have read that many people doing this over value personal items and that it is wiser to value them at the market price (the price that buyers are willing to pay). I have tried to find the 'sold' price by using ebay's 'sold…

Amazon returns - but without the returns label?
Trying to see what the situation is here because I've never experienced it before. My mother bought something on Amazon & put in to return it. I don't know what her options were when putting in for the refund but she's selected to print the label off at home, probably because she knows I have a printer. I can't remember…

Vinted-Yodel
I sell quite a bit on Vinted as a Pro Seller. For various reasons I am unable to use any other postage options than Yodel and only so only offer Yodel. Today I have three orders for three different courier options that I can not use. I have had to cancel them all. One buyer tried to buy again but said Yodel isn't being…

Made a mistake with postage, what can I do?
I sold an item and for the first time ever I undercharged on postage, my fault and Im fine with paying the difference myself. Its a quite fragile item and I had the weight and box but on packing it is evident that I need far more bubble wrap than I first thought. Of course this makes the parcel a lot bigger. It is simple…

Validity of old commemorative stamps.
I have some greeting stamp booklets (unused stamps) from 1996 etc. As far as I know, these stamps can still be used as they are commemoratives and I have been using them whenever possible to post Ebay items. Someone has just queried the validity of these stamps. I can't find the link on the Royal Mail website to show that…

Simple Delivery Label Frustrations
When printing simple deliver labels is there a way to get them all at once? Currently, I open my orders page on ebay then I am right-clicking 'get prepaid label' and selecting 'open in new tab' then, get label, print etc.. So if I have 4 items to send I end up with somewhere between 4 and 8 open tabs then have to click…

How to provide next day delivery?
Hi, Am selling an item which is under this Simple Delivery. Someone wants it posting next day which I'm happy to do, but as it is under the Simple Delivery I cannot see how to allow this. Via Evri direct it is only £3.20 for next day. I thought I could maybe change the listing to say Seller pays delivery, and increase the…

Odd international returns request
I (private seller in UK) sold an item on ebay to the USA. I posted directly via royal mail so paid both the postage and the import/tariff duty. Item was ordered on the 22nd and posted the same day. Today (24th) the buyer has opened a returns request with the reason 'ordered by mistake' which seems a little hasty as I doubt…

Just didn't like it return request
Sold a laptop battery on eBay, buyer has requested a return stating the reason as he "just didn't like it" Obviously I cannot resell the item, as a private seller what are the pros and cons of declining the request? Whilst it's frustrating, I expect they'll be more cons than pros so will probably end up refunding, but…

VAT on UK to UK sales?
Anyone notice VAT added to some of your purchases through eBay? I am trying to figure out why some purchases I have VAT added to the orders and for some I don't. First I thought it would be the seller location, but all were located in UK. Then I thought maybe it's value, but checked some high value orderes and some had VAT…

Warning for Anyone Selling Electronics on Vinted – My Experience Losing Money
I wanted to share my recent experience selling my son’s old Xbox and accessories on Vinted to warn other sellers, especially anyone thinking of listing electronics, and it goes wrong. I did everything right — tested all the equipment, took clear photos, wrapped it carefully in bubble wrap, and kept the buyer updated.…

The new Amazon packaging change.
Just seen the ad on tv from Amazon showing how they are now going to use 50% less packaging and showing the delivery person passing boxes to customers. As the items are now just in the original boxes making it obvious what the contents are I would imagine it it going to be a nightmare if parcels are left on doorsteps etc.…

Looking for recommendations to get watch valued/sold in London
I have a watch that was gifted to me in the 1970's. A popular make. Never worn but was put away. Just took it out and it is still ticking away! I am guessing it will bring £250 - 350 (or more?) on Ebay but I am reluctant to sell it there as I have no paperwork. Can anyone recommend anyone in London (willing to travel)…
