Amazon returns - but without the returns label?
Trying to see what the situation is here because I've never experienced it before. My mother bought something on Amazon & put in to return it. I don't know what her options were when putting in for the refund but she's selected to print the label off at home, probably because she knows I have a printer. I can't remember…

Vinted-Yodel
I sell quite a bit on Vinted as a Pro Seller. For various reasons I am unable to use any other postage options than Yodel and only so only offer Yodel. Today I have three orders for three different courier options that I can not use. I have had to cancel them all. One buyer tried to buy again but said Yodel isn't being…

Made a mistake with postage, what can I do?
I sold an item and for the first time ever I undercharged on postage, my fault and Im fine with paying the difference myself. Its a quite fragile item and I had the weight and box but on packing it is evident that I need far more bubble wrap than I first thought. Of course this makes the parcel a lot bigger. It is simple…

Validity of old commemorative stamps.
I have some greeting stamp booklets (unused stamps) from 1996 etc. As far as I know, these stamps can still be used as they are commemoratives and I have been using them whenever possible to post Ebay items. Someone has just queried the validity of these stamps. I can't find the link on the Royal Mail website to show that…

Simple Delivery Label Frustrations
When printing simple deliver labels is there a way to get them all at once? Currently, I open my orders page on ebay then I am right-clicking 'get prepaid label' and selecting 'open in new tab' then, get label, print etc.. So if I have 4 items to send I end up with somewhere between 4 and 8 open tabs then have to click…

How to provide next day delivery?
Hi, Am selling an item which is under this Simple Delivery. Someone wants it posting next day which I'm happy to do, but as it is under the Simple Delivery I cannot see how to allow this. Via Evri direct it is only £3.20 for next day. I thought I could maybe change the listing to say Seller pays delivery, and increase the…

Odd international returns request
I (private seller in UK) sold an item on ebay to the USA. I posted directly via royal mail so paid both the postage and the import/tariff duty. Item was ordered on the 22nd and posted the same day. Today (24th) the buyer has opened a returns request with the reason 'ordered by mistake' which seems a little hasty as I doubt…

Just didn't like it return request
Sold a laptop battery on eBay, buyer has requested a return stating the reason as he "just didn't like it" Obviously I cannot resell the item, as a private seller what are the pros and cons of declining the request? Whilst it's frustrating, I expect they'll be more cons than pros so will probably end up refunding, but…

VAT on UK to UK sales?
Anyone notice VAT added to some of your purchases through eBay? I am trying to figure out why some purchases I have VAT added to the orders and for some I don't. First I thought it would be the seller location, but all were located in UK. Then I thought maybe it's value, but checked some high value orderes and some had VAT…

I wanted to share my recent experience selling my son’s old Xbox and accessories on Vinted to warn other sellers, especially anyone thinking of listing electronics, and it goes wrong.

The new Amazon packaging change.
Just seen the ad on tv from Amazon showing how they are now going to use 50% less packaging and showing the delivery person passing boxes to customers. As the items are now just in the original boxes making it obvious what the contents are I would imagine it it going to be a nightmare if parcels are left on doorsteps etc.…

Apologies if this has been discussed before but I am not a regular here and a quick look at the last few index pages didn’t throw anything up. I tend to sell on eBay in fits and starts.
