How long does a return stay open on Ebay?
So sold an item recently and it arrived damaged - no worries stuff happens and I can hopefully make a claim for it but we will see. Made an offer to the buyer to basically keep the item for half price. Never heard back. Think that was about 10 days ago or so. How long will the return stay open and what's the next steps?…

Advice understanding an eBay message?
Context: Someone is selling something I need in a bundle with two other related items. I messaged just on the off-chance asking if they might be willing to sell the thing I need separately, obviously via eBay still, I wouldn't dream of attempting to buy outside of eBay. All the items are for a very specific niche that I…

Parcel monkey
Hi I returned an AC unit to Amazon. As the item was oversized, amazon asked me to arrange for return which I did via parcel monkey. The item for whatever reason has been returned to me and the packaging is damaged to the point that the item can't be lifted again as the bottom has come out. The AC is fine. I raised a claim…

Ebay - Get text by phone to continue but the catch is you are "agreeing to" getting BS messages and
I tried to login to my acount and did not bother and thought I'd do it some other day. Today I thought I'd get it done with but then noted the bs message. Why should I receive their crap with no option to opt-out. My accout is 15 years old if not older and have verified several times before years ago. Any ideas please?…

Ebay: Heavy dresser collection only
I sold a heavy dresser on Ebay- collection only, but the buyer seems to be completely dippy, she thinks that she and her 17 year old son can lift it out. I think she thought I was going to help - (I'm a 69 year old female) I'm now worried that she will damage my house trying to get it through the door. She turned up in a…

UPS
Hi - trying to check on this ….. UPS left a parcel from a retailer in a green bin. The photo doesn’t show anything - not our house, our the bin just a box on top of cardboard. We didn’t authorise it to be left in a dustbin as it’s not a secure place for us. We were also on holiday. We had however asked them to leave it…

Have to send back a larger parcel but finding a delivery company much more tricky to find for size
EDIT: Have ordered with evri via parcel2go. I paid £40 for a camping bed. Tried it and don't like it. Want to return but the prices are huge which will come out of pocket for a larger parcel vs a medium. I see like £17 for postage with dhl or dpd. The weight is only 5.4kg yet the length limits are 60cm for medium so it…

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 -…

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…
