Defective item from AliExpress - do I claim a refund from PayPal or my bank?

Other online auctions I’ve used successfully

Ever been ghosted on by buyers on online marketplaces?

You may have read some such cases here on the Forum, or might've seen the TikTok sketches of people acting out their own experiences!…

Article in today's Metro re using non-barcoded stamps!
In today's metro (29th Sept). My letters look like this as I am using up commemorative stamps from the old presentation packs as they don't sell well on Ebay!
