Amazon deliveries: how to complain?
I am so fed up with Amazon delivery drivers who can't be bothered to ring my doorbell, just leave the parcel on the front doorstep in full view of the road, and mark it as "handed to resident".Amazon only let you mark the delivery as "great" or "not so great". Some ring the bell and don't wait for you to answer. That's bad…

Massively over-bought postage stamps
I seem to have massively over-bought postage stamps over the years. With the new barcoded stamps coming in, I collected up all the old stamps from all over the house. They had been squirrelled away in all sorts of places! I have just received back from RM hundreds of the new barcoded stamps - mostly 1st and 2nd class -…

Selling clothes through resellers
Hi, I'm moving house soon and have bags and bags of clothes to get rid of. Mine and also some baby/toddler clothes. I've separated out stuff that isn't in good enough condition to sell on and will recycle that. But I don't have much luck or time to use Vinted or similar. I swear I've previously seen there are companies…

Deleting Gumtree messages
It seems the gumtree site has been playing up recently in a number of different ways . One strange issue is I cant delete messages anymore as they just return after deleting them . In certain advert catagorys when editing your advert this brings the advert back up too the top in the listings yet some catagorys this doesnt…

Creating 'Placeholder' listings?
Came across this on eBay - never seen people do this before: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314686918354?hash=item4944cd4ed2:g:FrQAAOSwWExkIfWO So in essence they create a placeholder on a discount FVF day, and then later in the month they can edit to include all the relevant information for an actual listing - thus getting…

Ebay Feedback
So, why do we get upset by (IMO) ridiculous feedback? I'm slightly annoyed by a neutral feedback I received - yes, I know that neutral feedback doesn't "count" but it's still mildly irritating! I sold a souvenir tea caddy complete with the original, sealed box of teabags in it. The BBE date was 2012, eleven years ago. The…

How long is reasonable for a collect only item?
I won an auction on Thursday for a collect only item. I have contacted the seller twice asking him/her to agree a day and time for collection but I am still yet to get a response. I could really do with getting this soon as it's a tool we are in need of and would save us a lot of effort. I suspect the seller didn't get as…

Messed up on Ebay Auction!
I just started an auction to sell my campervan. Also had the van advertised on Facebook at the same time. VERY QUICKLY SOLD THE VAN on Facebook. Returned to Ebay to cancel the auction....only to find that it had been sold as Buy it Now within a few minutes of posting on Ebay. Obviously buyer not happy and very awkward and…

eBay Google Image Search Dark Background ?
I'd read somewhere that images taken on a dark background won't show up on a Google image search. However, I can't seem to find anything definitive - just anecdotal. Obviously, maximum exposure is paramount when listing, but likewise, some items look better with a Black background. The solution I guess is to add a single…

Buyer asked for parcel to be sent to different address
Hi, I sold an item and the buyer wrote to say the address provided was incorrect as they had moved, so could I post to a different address? I pointed out that I was required to send it to the address provided, the buyer insisted and said they would accept all responsibility if it was lost. I was rushing getting a lot of…

Reporting Items Advice
After watching Conor Woodman's 'Scam City' videos on YouTube, I looked up hidden cameras on Ebay. I was disappointed to see that many of the secret camera listings appear to encourage creepy and illegal activity by showing prominent pictures of women getting changed, women in the shower, couples having sex, etc. What is…

eBay debt transferred back to eBay - anyone else been in this situation?
I had an issue with eBay around October 2021. An eBay dispute led to me being required to refund a buyer 525 which I refused to do. After a while of not paying, eBay sold the debt to a third-party debt collection agency. After ignoring the debt collection agency for a while, I received a final warning saying the next…

This is the second time in a couple of weeks that I have had a problem with Evri photo of delivered parcel. The "photo" is a black spot on a Google street map. How is that showing me it was delivered? Incidentally the ebay tracking has not moved since picked up at parcel shop. Will I still be covered as ebay has not…

Hey all, I want to order some tins from AliExpress, though just want to be sure as the seller isn't responding to messages, is this the listing for 100 tins? So each 'lot' represents 100 tins?

My turn for help with lost items (Royal Mail)
4 weeks ago we apparently had a £100 item delivered with a blank photo as proof of delivery with RM. After lots of wrangling with the shop we bought from and apparently an investigation with RM the shop sent us a new item via a courier. We were lucky on that occasion as we have a video doorbell and could show the shop that…

Amazon Marketplace - defective item
I bought a fitness tracker from a marketplace seller. It was described: "Condition: Used - Very Good - Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged. Missing battery charger." The item was clearly defective, as it doesn't hold charge in the battery. There's no communication from the seller, but Amazon…

eBay begging letters
Just had my first one. On an item that was buy it now and had not even been set to make offers on. A private message asking me if I'd consider £8 instead of £10 because 'my sisters budget won't stretch to £10'. No. No I wouldn't consider £8 instead of £10. That's why it says buy it now for £10.... 😃 Have I joined an…
