Who do you use (recommended) for very large parcels to UK addresses, please?
As per title, I am thinking of listing an item on Ebay but the package size will be approx. 40 inches x 45 inches x 5 inches. I've looked on Parcelforce and it would cost around £28 - eek! I've only ever used RM or Parcelforce so don't know if there are any decent Courier firms who would be cheaper and good to use. All…

Should I swap this stamp?
I know I'm late to the party but I found some 'English oak' stamps (value £1.42 each) in a drawer and I'm unsure whether these should be swapped. I have read Royal Mail's instructions and I find them confusing. Do you know if these stamps are classed as 'pictorial' or 'everyday stamps'? The value looks random but was in…

Swap or keep stamps like this
Picture stamps do not need to be swapped and can still be used. No problem if they show 1st or 2nd class but what about these? I have quite a few other different ones like this. Assuming they need to be swapped what value do I show on the form?

Fake Royal Mail stamps on Amazon?
Several weeks ago I purchased a book of 1st class Royal mail stamps (the 'old' non-bar coded type) which were slightly cheaper then the 'genuine' stamps, from Amazon. I received them promptly and sent them to the Royal Mail on their 'swap-out' system. Three weeks later I received a letter from Royal Mail stating that the…

Selling on eBay - cash on collection under the new eBay payments system?
I'm selling a few bulky household items after a break of more than a year from eBay! I have no experience of the new (2021) eBay payments & fees system. All items I sold yesterday (and my active listings) are collection only. I asked for cash on collection in my listings. Under the new system, can I - and should I - still…

Value of a jade necklace?
So a while back I was given a chunky jade pendant by a Chinese friend. It's not something I would ever wear so it's just sitting in a drawer which seems a waste so I'm considering selling it. But I have no idea what it's worth. I know jade can be worthless or priceless but I suspect that the person who gave it to me…

Is this item not as described?
Hi, I bought a bikini top from a private seller. There was a picture and the description only said the brand (Wolf&Whistle). When it arrived it's a push-up bra.. I don't use push up bras (it's a 34DD so not needed) and I really don't like it, would this be a reason to return it as item not as described..? Thanks

Vape and E Cigs
I've just been having a huge clear out and have found lots of stuff to put on eBay (bought loads of things I didn't need during the pandemic - clothes, fragrance, trainers, you name it!). I've found some e-cigs but I am sure I can't put them on eBay. Is there anywhere I can put them on or is it not allowed? Can I give them…

Ebay Seller says item delivered and it hasn't.

Any way to search for "Sold By Amazon" items?
Is there any way to search for an item on Amazon, but limit the results to items sold and shipped by Amazon (i.e. in order to take advantage of a promotion which is limited to such items). It used to be possible to filter buy department, then select the "sold by Amazon" filter, but there's now only an "Amazon Global Store"…

Someone walk me through the Ebay return process
Having a bit of a 'dispute' with ebay now and can't get any sense out of their CS. So can someone tell me if I've done something wrong or if Ebay have cocked up and are in denial mode? Couple of weeks back I sold something which arrived faulty. No big deal. I'll refund it and get it returned so I can check it - might be…

Ebay buyer PMs to offer on item not on'best offer'
A rookie question ... I can't find an answer on ebay. I'm a private seller and have a item currently up that isn't listed as 'best offer'. A buyer has PM'd me to ask if I'd take an offer on an item. There are 25 watchers, and no current bids, on it. Can a seller accept an offer on an item that's not been listed as 'best…
