Selling tender plants on eBay
My husband has been growing tender house plants as a hobby over the last 3 years in the house. As the plants have started to multiply and now lack of space in the house, he has decided to sell some on eBay this year. He is a pensioner and pay tax on his pension. Is he liable to pay tax on his hobby? Bearing in mind over…

Royal Mail Tracked 48
I sent some packages using Tracked 48. The Royal Mail web page says that one of the benefits is "SMS or email notifications to recipients" and "photo on delivery". Tracking says the items have been delivered but no-one got any messages or emails saying they were coming and no photos were taken. Anyone else found this? Does…

Wonder if seller knows the laws in the UK or just creates his own?
The seller offers circuit boards from scrapped TV's, Possibly from landfill because most of the listings state the items have water damage/heavy rust/oil/staining and general dust. Sounds like the TV's were outside for a decent length of time. Lists as tested and working, not so sure about that but chose a different seller…

Is something going on with Signed For
Sent 6 letters / parcels by Signed For over the past 2-3 weeks and none of them have been signed, got positive feedback on one so I know it arrived. The buyers of the other ones don't leave feedback but assume they would have INRed by now. No compensation as I just put them in a postbox. Also received 4 Signed For over the…

Sell for £1 maximum fees
Can someone - soolin? - explain a couple of things please. If you get an offer from eBay, usually Friday to Monday period - to sell an item with maximum £1 fees does this mean you need to advertise and sell the item within this period please? If the item doesn't sell and eBay relist it then that offer has lapsed and it…

'late' defects
ebay are still removing late notifications where something tracked initially looks late but when RM or the courier info catches up it shows it arrived in time and this is a necessity with the much discussed unrealistic estimated delivery times given to buyers by ebay. On my private account though I had one of my large…

Where do you Ebay 'regulars' buy bubble wrap rolls from?
I need to buy a large roll (50M or 100M preferably) of bubble wrap - big or small bubbles.Been searching Amazon and Ebay but can't find any cheapish rolls with decent reviews. I know you get what you pay for but this is a moneysaving site and I obviously want to keep down costs. Not able to go to local shops to source any…

UPS Charges on import after a significant delay
I challenged the import charges I paid on a motorcycle helmet and intercom system because retailers in the UK don't charge VAT when purchased together as it is classed as PPE. I emailed this to UPS who handled my shipment and they have responded saying they noticed that charges will have to be raised because the incorrect…

why marketplace can be frustrating
I know we all love using sites that don't carry fees, but sometimes I see the benefit of using ebay and other professional platforms. I've got an item on FB, lets say it is a glass vase, it says 'glass vase' in title and also in title and description it says 8 inches tall. It shows a makers mark to base (nothing…

It is also very good value for higher cost items due to the included £100 insurance cover. Arranged one yestersday and noticed that the insurance…

Buyers wanting stuff immediately
Things seem to come in batches , at the moment all I’m getting is afternoon sales with the message ‘post today as I need this tomorrow/in two days/urgently’. I’ve checked and I do still have a 2 day dispatch on and I’m using 2nd class so it is completely unrealistic and frankly I think a bit cheeky of buyers. Just had…

Has anyone had this happen ?
I’m an occasional eBay seller, just personal items I no longer want. I recently listed a few craft items, which ended last Saturday. I had an offer on one than I accepted from a buyer who then won another of my auctions. I sent them an invoice for the items combined to give them cheaper postage. The address was a UK…

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…
