Ebay Feedback
So, why do we get upset by (IMO) ridiculous feedback? I'm slightly annoyed by a neutral feedback I received - yes, I know that neutral feedback doesn't "count" but it's still mildly irritating! I sold a souvenir tea caddy complete with the original, sealed box of teabags in it. The BBE date was 2012, eleven years ago. The…

How long is reasonable for a collect only item?
I won an auction on Thursday for a collect only item. I have contacted the seller twice asking him/her to agree a day and time for collection but I am still yet to get a response. I could really do with getting this soon as it's a tool we are in need of and would save us a lot of effort. I suspect the seller didn't get as…

eBay Google Image Search Dark Background ?
I'd read somewhere that images taken on a dark background won't show up on a Google image search. However, I can't seem to find anything definitive - just anecdotal. Obviously, maximum exposure is paramount when listing, but likewise, some items look better with a Black background. The solution I guess is to add a single…

Buyer asked for parcel to be sent to different address
Hi, I sold an item and the buyer wrote to say the address provided was incorrect as they had moved, so could I post to a different address? I pointed out that I was required to send it to the address provided, the buyer insisted and said they would accept all responsibility if it was lost. I was rushing getting a lot of…

Reporting Items Advice
After watching Conor Woodman's 'Scam City' videos on YouTube, I looked up hidden cameras on Ebay. I was disappointed to see that many of the secret camera listings appear to encourage creepy and illegal activity by showing prominent pictures of women getting changed, women in the shower, couples having sex, etc. What is…

eBay debt transferred back to eBay - anyone else been in this situation?
I had an issue with eBay around October 2021. An eBay dispute led to me being required to refund a buyer 525 which I refused to do.

My turn for help with lost items (Royal Mail)
4 weeks ago we apparently had a £100 item delivered with a blank photo as proof of delivery with RM. After lots of wrangling with the shop we bought from and apparently an investigation with RM the shop sent us a new item via a courier. We were lucky on that occasion as we have a video doorbell and could show the shop that…

Amazon Marketplace - defective item
I bought a fitness tracker from a marketplace seller. It was described: "Condition: Used - Very Good - Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged. Missing battery charger." The item was clearly defective, as it doesn't hold charge in the battery. There's no communication from the seller, but Amazon…

eBay begging letters
Just had my first one. On an item that was buy it now and had not even been set to make offers on. A private message asking me if I'd consider £8 instead of £10 because 'my sisters budget won't stretch to £10'. No. No I wouldn't consider £8 instead of £10. That's why it says buy it now for £10.... 😃 Have I joined an…

I have sent a message which they have ignored so I want to report them for inaccurate information.

eBay now disclosing private seller addresses to all buyers?
Hi, I am a private eBay seller (low volume, under £1.5k a year) As a buyer, I have noticed that in the last few weeks when I purchase from a seller, I receive an e-mail confirming my order which has the seller's username then full address underneath - these are definitely private sellers, not business sellers where I might…
