Royal Mail .... sigh!
I'm sure my area isn't alone in not having post delivered for days on end. We've been told that RM have issued the instruction that all posties concentrate on parcels as RM make more money from that and to ignore the day to day post stacking up. I know several people who have missed deadlines / appointments because time…

eBay verification
"Looks like you're using a different computer. Please verify yourself", says the message when I try to log on to eBay. I'm not using a different computer, nor a different browser. To verify I have to call a number that looks like an Italian number. What is happening here? I've never had this before. Is there any way to get…

I saw that this subforum also lists post and parcels however it was unclear whether it means post and parcels pertaining to online selling only or if general post and parcel queries go here too. So posting here and please let me know if the former is the case rather than the latter. I want a specialist keyboard which is…

Ebay fees remaining despite refunding buyer
So, bit of a weird one. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with Ebay fees, owing or not owing - so to speak! And how you contacted Ebay to get any sort of resolution. In August, we listed a couple of extremely heavy bits of equipment on Ebay - we’re talking over 250Kg per item stuff, collection only, of course.…

large increase in overseas buyers
In the past week or two I've noticed the number of overseas sellers has increased significantly. I've also had a fair proportion of buyers using GSP but these current buyers have been the old fashioned 'send to a shipping company at Heathrow' type, I'd stopped getting these in the past year or so. I've had about 1 in 4 or…

Ebay postal options
I am selling an item on ebay. It's been a while since I sold on Ebay and the process of choosing which service to post your item has changed a lot in this time. I wanted to only sell in the UK. Initially I wanted to put p&p at £3.50 but ebay kept defaulting to £6.99 so I left it at that. I now have 1 bidder who is in…

However the actual prices and sizes are the same whichever account I use and in many cases ebay are more expensive than RM direct. Firstly, and I have moaned about…

eBay buyer claims did not receive tracked item?
I sent an item with Royalmail tracked 48 and the buyer claims did not receive despite it being delivered. I first thought the buyer was trying it on but the photo provided by the courier shows the top of a brown box saying Amazon Prime which is completely different to the White jiffy bag I sent my item in. I don't know…

Would it be OK to send an item as two parcels
I am selling an item, which consists of two parts .. one quite large flat shaped section and the other a small, but heavy piece. I have charged £10 delivery. It's an auction item, with bids already, but ends in a few days I've been thinking about sending the two sections as two different parcels, mainly because getting…

Titles and description are important on ebay - review your listings
I am on a couple of semi private collector (selling allowed) groups and occasionally a member will ask others to look at their ebay listings to see why they aren't selling, or why they have started to get some poorer feedback or stars. That's perfectly OK and within the rules of the groups I use - but it has brought up…

How do I print my own label with Royalmail. When I tried this I was expecting the label with the recipients address on it the label however I received a printable label with just a QR code and no address. Am I missing something because I have not used this service for a while but in the the past the address I was sending…

John Pye
Hi all, I recently bought three items from John Pye Auctions. One I returned and got a refund because they didn't allow anyone to view the item. Another one was a TV where they gave a three month guarantee. And the third one a coffee machine that had a John Lewis price tag on so was clearly ex display not second hand or a…
