I think I have a dodgy one......
Received an offer on an item early this morning. Responded with counter offer a few £ higher, stating I could post it off today (Saturday) AM. Buyer accepted and paid. Printed label via eBay and went to PO to post. Posted at 10:52AM via Tracked24 (which is what buyer paid for). I don't see how I could get any quicker?…

I have an item on Ebay just now and have received an offer.

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…

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. Is this an automated thing from AliExpress? Using Chrome on a PC and I have…

Single Item Auction vs Bulk
I have 15 items, Home Automation compatible radiator TRV's. What would be the best way to seel these one ebay? A single item each week? Or all 15 on one auction? 15 single auctions would not get the best results 🤣

Self Assessment for HMRC?
Hi. I’ve been selling things on eBay for a while which are partly my own items I don’t want anymore and also things I’ve picked up in charity shops and car boot sales.

Free RM Parcel Collect - Extended to 30/04/2024
Just a heads up Royal Mail's free parcel collect service is due to end next Tuesday. "Parcel Collect is FREE when you book online between 00:01 on 30.06.2023 and 23:59 on 15.08.2023.

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?

Nintendo 2DS
Sold a mint in box and sealed Nintendo 2DS on ebay over a year ago now. This is just a warning to others. I was glad as was a profit but he then claimed none of the buttons work. I said that was odd as was sealed but send it back and I'll give you a full refund. All fine. Roll on a few months later and I decide to put my…

Offers on items I’ve viewed
I’ve started getting personal offers on items I’ve simply viewed - not items in my watch list. Is this a new thing? I’m used to getting offers on items I’m actually watching but not this.
