Is there any way to sell alcohol?
Got a bottle of Ciroc pineapple vodka a while ago from duty free and unlikely to get around to drinking it (barely bother with alcohol these days - novelty wore off) Had a look of eBay and Facebook, and both will not allow alcohol to be sold. No idea if amazon Marketplace allows this? Is there any way of selling something…

eBay Tax Return and Stock Held ?
So I've registered for 2023/24 Self Assessment for the 1st time, as after 50+ years, I now exceed the £1k / 30 item benchmark by buying goods to resell on eBay. However, I'm unsure on one line of my upcoming Return. I'm employed Full Time, earning £20k+, so already pay Income Tax and NI via my employer. I'm very diligent…

Abusive Buyer
I posted yesterday about a usb splitter that wasn't working properly. As it was over 30 days I realised after chat on here that I wasn't entitled to anything. But before I posted on here I messaged the seller to ask advice and mentioned that it wasnt working properly. I also had tried to use the eBay help bot about items…

Failed collection or lost parcel?
Dropped off an item (value £130) for DPD at my local Post Office (which is also a DPD collection point). As its a small post office, they tend to tell customers to place their boxes by a cage at the side of the small store so its easier to collect by the courier. Always nervous to do this as its in open reach of anyone…

Most ridiculous buyer on EBay
Just wondering what daft requests you’ve had on EBay? Prompted by me selling a used XBox game which to be honest I was just clearing out and expecting not much so I accepted £2 offer. To be followed by a message from buyer saying he didn’t have enough money on his debit card to cover it. (Separate question whether he had…

Free listing offer - terms & conditions
In the free listing no chat thread, Steviebabes has posted "Remember second chance offers and collection only sales don't qualify". I can't see this in the terms and conditions. When did this change for collection only sales? Am I missing something? Previously collection only sales were included.

Am I Being Entitled?
I've just received an Ebay purchase, but there is an error. I was supposed to receive a small amount of vegetable seeds (20), but received seeds for a flower instead? My first action was to 'Contact Seller' to request that they sent the right seeds. Immediately my mind went to what, if anything, I'll do with the flower…
