Faulty item return request
Sold an item in June. (Private sale) and the buyer has emailed this morning to say that it has broken and wants to know what I am going to do. I purchased the item on Amazon who have agreed to refund after I return it, which would involve either having it posted back or getting the buyer to post it to Amazon. Amazon also…

Ebay refusing fee credit. Any tips?
I sold an expensive item (£1850) on eBay a couple of weeks ago, and as soon as it sold, eBay restricted my account of 10 years. Naturally, I refused to send the item because eBay were withholding the payment and informed the customer who was understanding. I cancelled the order on eBay and a few days later, I had an email…

New Offers - just in - Strange dates
I have two accounts and have received offers on both - but with strange dates - anyone else have these date offers? One account 80% off from 26/1/22 to end date 31/12/25 and the other is 70% off from 1/12/21 to end date 31/12/23. It may correct itself but at the moment - rather puzzled.

eBay Combined Postage Problem
Hi. Seeking help and advice from members please, as eBay website Help page hasn't solved the conundrum. When Buyers add multiple items to Basket, the option isn't offered to request a combined Invoice from the Seller. I have 'Combined Postage' set, but it means I'm having to do manual partial refunds for multiple…

Another "no fees offer" gripe!
Has anyone changed anything on their account to get the offers on fees again? I have not had an offer since February (was getting them regular every 2 wks) and trying to work out what else I can do. My account is in good standing and I have still been listing and had a few sales of late though I am only listing cheaper…

Been trying all yesterday and this morning but seems like it's not going to change any time soon. Anyone had this before? What causes it? I…

eBay Main Photo - Does Packaging Help ?
I've struggled finding any definitive answer on this, so hopefully members could share their experiences. I mainly sell small Collectibles, and many of the target Buyers prefer/insist on the original packaging. The eBay mantra is for the product to fill 80-90% of the space. However, if I include the packaging in the main…

New eBay Multi Offers
What are members thoughts on eBay's latest multi offer initiative? Rather than tediously sending individual offers, you can now send up to 25 Offers in bulk with the same % discount. Certainly saves time, but I guess you lose the personalisation, especially if you used to add a product specific message with the Offer…

How to sell individual items from a bundle
I've got a DVD bundle with several dozen discs up for sale on Ebay with a buy-it-now-price. A buyer has messaged me to ask if I'm willing to sell specific discs from the bundle. I'm fine with this, just not sure what's the best way to do it. Should I end the bundle listing and put up the discs he/she's interested in as a…

E Bay return has disappeared - unco-operative buyer
I recently sold a small jewellery item on E Bay. The buyer rejected it, saying it was a fake. I arranged via the usual E Bay channels to send him the postage so he could return it. I also, foolishly - but due to imminent holiday - released the refund of the purchase cost to him. Since then, three weeks ago, the item has…

RM office reduced hours again
I’m sure there was an earlier thread but I can’t find it so apologies for starting another. My local RM mail centre recently cut its opening hours making it difficult to drop post off for a receipt if you were busy in the day. Added to that the closure of a small local PO and cutting of staff in the main PO has resulted in…

Can you rearrange the columns on 'orders' page
As of today, I was unable to see any feedback indication on my 'order' list. I generally just give feedback when the buyer does Usually I could just see the indicator on the far right of the page, but now I have to zoom out to 80% to see this column which makes the print quite small. If I could rearrange the columns, that…

Royal mail delivered an ebay sale to the wrong house
Hi, Need some advice. On the day of delivery, buyer contacts me saying they didn't sign for the item. It was signed for by x and the buyers name was also x. So I thought buyer was trying it on. However, upon checking the royal mail tracking I see that it was scanned outside number 35(assume this is accurate) instead of…
