Businesses sending from mainland UK to N. Ireland, changes from March 31 2025
I've not seen this mentioned here before. It's not applicable yet but my RM account just made me fill in a CN22 to send a parcel to N. Ireland. As I understand, if you don't use it from March 31st the parcel is unlikely to arrive and will be returned. It's just another Brexit bonus for businesses.…

Ebay buyer wants money back
I sold an Aga cooker for my Dad in mid-November. The listing said that my Dad had used it for 26 years and was selling it because he had air source heating put in and the Aga ran on oil, so he couldn't use it anymore.

Bidding glitch

The item had not reached the reserve price but edged up selling for the bid that had failed to make that reserve, so I assumed the glitch was caused by the seller doing something. Having failed to win that item I had a…

Less Freepost since 'Buyers Protection Fee'.
Has anyone else noticed this? The buyers protection fee is on the item only so I am seeing more of the cheap item/expensive post listings to reduce the BP fee. This is going back to the time when final value fees were only charged on the item and we had a lot of 99p items with £20 postage.

Why is Ebay making cancellations too easy?
I have had 2 items cancelled this week. I packed and purchased postage in the evening. Next morning I get message to cancel! It is so annoying! Why does Ebay make it too easy to cancel. Ok, I am lucky that they were not posted otherwise the buyers would have found any excuse to return them.

Bought fake cosmetics - how best to proceed
Hi - would be grateful for some advice. I bought some branded cosmetics on eBay, goods arrived last Friday. Rather than premium, the item looks very generic and after doing some research realised that the same product is being sold elsewhere as a Chinese-made product without the brand name label.
