Buyer bought and paid for two items separately - can I post together?
I've hardly sold anything lately and someone bought and paid for a BIN with free postage yesterday and now the same buyer has done the same today for another item.

Can anyone explain this please? Coins on Ebay
I was in a shop this morning when someone went into raptures when they were given a £2 coin in their change which had 1807 on it and a chain. It represents the abolition of slavery. They said they are rare and they would keep it as it was worth a fortune. When I got home I looked in our change pot and it seems we have one…

RM delay message 'high order volumes'
Some of my Royal Mail packages that are en route now show the following message when I check the tracking on ebay - I've never seen this before.

New tax rules
A little confused with the new tax rules coming into effect in Jan 2024.

Is this just for sites like Etsy, where people make items etc for sale, or…

eBay Watch Authenticity Guarantee - Catch-22
I've recently spotted a high-end Swiss-made Watch I've had my eye on for many years. Very few were made, with production ceasing 9 years ago. I understand Stoll & Co. do the assessment, but there's nothing in the blurb to indicate the casing is opened and the interior mechanism inspected. Once complete, you get the watch…

The 'courier' will collect, give you the cash (non-traceable), then the buyer claims goods never received and gets a refund from his bank/credit card which is charged to you. A very common…
