Understanding Customs Duty Without Jargon.
Hey, I need to buy some items from Israel. I did this last year and was charged tax as the goods were close to £300.00 which makes sense. This time, the total I need to pay is £264.61 (with P+P). But this time, I'm splitting this order into two as some items I need for September and some for December. The first order (to…

GLS scam
I was with my friend the other day, she had listed an item on (FB?) Marketplace for approx £200. Almost as soon as the listing was live she got a reply from a potential buyer saying they would send a GLS 'postman' with the cash to collect the item. She asked me if I thought it was OK. My response was 'I think everything is…

Ebay Clasified Ad for Car Sales Fraud
In a nutshell, my Father-In-Law bought a car through an Ebay classified ad and it's looking very likely to have been a scam and he's lost £3000. I can't see any way he's going to ever see this money again, which is awful, but I want to make people aware and also ask if there's any success stories in getting money back from…

Another thread about time wasters
I know this is a conversation we have all the time on here, but the increase in people cancelling bids, or cancelling sales or just not paying seems to be increasing. It's not just ebay, I'm getting it on Vinted (just the cancellations- there's no bids on there to cancel) and even the final straw on a forum I use on FB for…

Who do you use (recommended) for very large parcels to UK addresses, please?
As per title, I am thinking of listing an item on Ebay but the package size will be approx. 40 inches x 45 inches x 5 inches. I've looked on Parcelforce and it would cost around £28 - eek! I've only ever used RM or Parcelforce so don't know if there are any decent Courier firms who would be cheaper and good to use. All…

Should I swap this stamp?
I know I'm late to the party but I found some 'English oak' stamps (value £1.42 each) in a drawer and I'm unsure whether these should be swapped. I have read Royal Mail's instructions and I find them confusing. Do you know if these stamps are classed as 'pictorial' or 'everyday stamps'? The value looks random but was in…

Swap or keep stamps like this
Picture stamps do not need to be swapped and can still be used. No problem if they show 1st or 2nd class but what about these? I have quite a few other different ones like this. Assuming they need to be swapped what value do I show on the form?

Fake Royal Mail stamps on Amazon?
Several weeks ago I purchased a book of 1st class Royal mail stamps (the 'old' non-bar coded type) which were slightly cheaper then the 'genuine' stamps, from Amazon. I received them promptly and sent them to the Royal Mail on their 'swap-out' system. Three weeks later I received a letter from Royal Mail stating that the…

Selling on eBay - cash on collection under the new eBay payments system?
I'm selling a few bulky household items after a break of more than a year from eBay! I have no experience of the new (2021) eBay payments & fees system. All items I sold yesterday (and my active listings) are collection only. I asked for cash on collection in my listings. Under the new system, can I - and should I - still…

Value of a jade necklace?
So a while back I was given a chunky jade pendant by a Chinese friend. It's not something I would ever wear so it's just sitting in a drawer which seems a waste so I'm considering selling it. But I have no idea what it's worth. I know jade can be worthless or priceless but I suspect that the person who gave it to me…

Is this item not as described?
Hi, I bought a bikini top from a private seller. There was a picture and the description only said the brand (Wolf&Whistle). When it arrived it's a push-up bra.. I don't use push up bras (it's a 34DD so not needed) and I really don't like it, would this be a reason to return it as item not as described..? Thanks

Vape and E Cigs
I've just been having a huge clear out and have found lots of stuff to put on eBay (bought loads of things I didn't need during the pandemic - clothes, fragrance, trainers, you name it!). I've found some e-cigs but I am sure I can't put them on eBay. Is there anywhere I can put them on or is it not allowed? Can I give them…

Ebay Seller says item delivered and it hasn't.
Wonder if anyone can give me advice? I recently bought a Samsung Charging plug off Ebay. The seller sent a notification that Evri had delivered it on the 18 July: I only discovered this message the next day, so I immediately checked my bins but nothings been received. I followed the tracking link but no picture was…

Any way to search for "Sold By Amazon" items?
Is there any way to search for an item on Amazon, but limit the results to items sold and shipped by Amazon (i.e. in order to take advantage of a promotion which is limited to such items). It used to be possible to filter buy department, then select the "sold by Amazon" filter, but there's now only an "Amazon Global Store"…

Parcel compare - uncontactabkw and taking money from my credit card
I booked a standard courier delivery of a large parcel. At the time of booking I correctly entered the height and weight of the parcel and that information was correctly shown on my invoice. A month later they have taken a further £52 for a large parcel subsidy. No warning, no further explanation! I have been unable to…

Someone walk me through the Ebay return process
Having a bit of a 'dispute' with ebay now and can't get any sense out of their CS. So can someone tell me if I've done something wrong or if Ebay have cocked up and are in denial mode? Couple of weeks back I sold something which arrived faulty. No big deal. I'll refund it and get it returned so I can check it - might be…
