New HMRC rules re sites automatically declaring income
It looks like there may be tweaks to the reporting system from next year with sites like eBay etc automatically reporting all income from users to HMRC. At the moment it is apparently only on request. Obviously this only affects people who receive more than £1000 per annum and can’t show it is private goods being sold…

Which online marketplace has the best seller protection, or where to sell a single jacket or two?
I quit ebay a couple of years ago after a couple of horrible item not as described experiences where the buyer was clearly being disingenuous. We knew we packaged things well and they are claiming they were smashed up and the pictures didnt even show damage. Regardless ebay just sides with the buyer and enforces either…

Listed as "used", description reads "selling as spares or repair", arrived broken
I bought something on eBay for around £200. Listed as "used". Description read "selling as spares or repair, but it works". The item arrived with visible damages, some of which are beyond repair, due to astonishingly poor packaging. I am surprised a seller with 100% feedback and 3000+ rating could have thought the…

Cleared Purchase History But Cannot Leave Feedback
Okay, yes, brain fog. So I somehow opened all my purchase history and could not get it clear, went back 3 years. So bought some Turkish Delight and was able to clear when leaving feedback. But, I am still waiting for a bottle of perfume, but I have somehow cleared it and can find the purchase but no way of leaving…

Postage scales
Any recommendations for postage scales that can handle over 5kg please? (Preferably up to 8-10kg just to futureproof the purchase, but 6 would be okay.) I used to do the 'weigh myself then weigh myself with the parcel' trick but now that pulls all the muscles in my shoulders and across my chest. And smaller parcels are a…

How to sort eBay buy-it-now items by real price?
So tired of eBay price spammers! I need to buy a new item, let's say a phone case. There are no auctions, only buy-it-now listing, each with variable prices from 0.99 to 9.99. When I click into any of the listings, there is a menu to choose the model and then the price becomes ten times higher. OK, which item sells for…

Anyone else having trouble with Ebay login?
I'm finding Ebay very hard work recently and just wondered if anyone else is seeing the same thing. I use the app but for some reason I keep being asked to login and it won't allow me to use my biometric login, I have to use the email address and password. But that still isn't enough! I then have to enter a passcode that…

70% Reduced Fees Promotion Question
I have some auctions currently running on the 70% reduced fees offer (weekend just gone) but someone has asked if they can buy three of my items directly at a fixed price. But the listings are auctions, so in addition to adding the BIN price, to get the BIN price they want (which is less than the current auction price) I…

Ebay Issue
Hi All, I bought four items from an eBay seller about 5 weeks ago, the parcels never arrived so the seller offered a refund. I stated that I would prefer the items if possible as I had spent quite a bit of time with the seller arranging this. As of yesterday the refund arrived and today the parcel has arrived, some of the…

Has Royal Mail cut back on deliveries??
We used to get post delivered every day including Saturdays. Recently we only get it once or maybe twice a week. I know that generally people are getting less post due to everything being done online. When we get the post once or twice a week it is usually a big batch. This is letters and large letters. Parcels are…

UK Vat Registered Business Selling overseas VAT Charged?
It's not been easy to clarify this with ebay. If you are a UK Vat registered business and you list an item that this purchased overseas, why would Ebay generate VAT on the customer invoice. Seems to happen on some invoices and not others. Could anyone advise?
