muddled buyer with leaving feedback.
I just noticed that earlier this morning I received feedback - luckily positive, saying how badly I had packed an item and it was a wonder nothing was broken. Nothing wrong with that of course, except I didn't actually send the item until lunchtime today - so I think I have one very muddled buyer!

1st class letter stamp for 2nd class LL items.
I'm probably the last person on here to realise this- but 1st class letter stamps are now worth £1.65 whereas a 2nd class LL only costs £1.55 to post. I have hundreds and hundreds of 1st class letter stamps, some barcoded and some pictorial and no hope of ever using them - but I sell a lot of LL items under 100g both on my…

Any buyer advantage using to PayPal on EBay?
Hi, As the title, is there any advantage for a buyer when paying for an Ebay item with PayPal, as opposed to a credit card? Does PayPal offer any more protection against items not received, or received damaged? Ebay offer the above protections so I can't see why anyone would use PayPal, unless they're using a PayPal…

Evri or seller at fault?
Not a major deal, but ordered something off eBay which promised two day delivery. I didn’t get a notification that it was dispatched so queried it with the seller, I then got tracking notification and though it seems it was posted on the day I bought it, it just says it’s running behind the original estimate. Slightly…

I'm after some help and clarification on what I can do to have my remaining funds on hold withdrawn to my account? for a bit of backstory and base, my account was restricted then subsequently banned within 2 days, about 6 months a go.

Retracted bids on an item I was looking at buying. How many?
Looking for another fairly rare item and put an initial bid in to remind me and hopefully stop the seller removing it and taking an offer via private messages. A few days into the auction I got outbid which was to be expected and then the price jumped substantially the day after. With just two days left the price dropped…

eBay selling used wrong tracking number
I sent something (valuable) using parcelforce using my own generated label. It's been delivered but sat there looking like it's not been sent in eBay as I pasted the order number into the tracking field not the tracking number. What's a safe way to fix this. I can't egit the tracking number. Can I mark it as not dispatched…

Fifty pound notes at car boot sales
Working on the car boot field yesterday, two separate people came up and tried to offer £50 for £1 items. Naturally we refused, but surprisingly they seemed to get their money changed from the car boot organisers who were taking cash at the entrance, even though the organisers would not have UV cash checkers or any other…

I have seen the trial data input on "click and drop" for Parcels (BPL code) and I understand what is basically needed from 1st May (though what a pain LOL) Then there is Account Mail with an…

eBay App & Postage glitch / bug
Be careful making any revisions via the eBay app... I did quite a few this morning and afterwards I noticed it had changed all of my postage preferences to simple delivery with weight limits which did not make sense; One changed from under 2kg to under 10kg and isn't allowing me to change it back. I suspect it is after…

Ebay Commerce automated payment incorrect?
I purchased an item with Ebay using the best offer option, with this item there was a £5 off coupon code which could be applied to my offer price which was accepted and reduced my offer price by £5, The seller accepted my offer and an Ebay Commerce automated Paypal payment was taken from my Paypal account. However, the £5…

Returning a faulty pick up only item.
Bought a tent recently 'pick up only' and have just tested it and it leaks like a sieve.I have requested a refund from seller but what is the usual protocol for return? Do you get a proof of return number like you do on pick up? Can't imagine a seller wants a faulty product back so what if they choose not to be in on…

eBay automated feedback gone live
Noticed this morning that I have automatic feedback for items I have sold. Not really a fan of this, if you look at my feedback now the top 9 are identical generic comments. I think I'd prefer to have 1 or 2 genuine comments like 'really quick postage' or 'excellent description' I usually look at the comments rather than…

AMAZON RETURNS BEING SENT TO MY ADDRESS
Last year I ordered something from Amazon which I later returned with no problem. After that I have received about 20 of that item and a thirty or so other items. I realised that these items were coming from all different people who thought they were returning their item to Amazon. All the labels were the same as Amazon…

Ebay items just not selling any more - not even getting views, what has changed?
I first started selling a few odds and ends on Ebay about 20 years ago, and then when my parents died it was a good way to find new homes for obscure unwanted items that I couldn't really donate to charity (think vintage toilet paper or Shredded Wheat memorabilia). Generally the strange odds and ends I offered would get…
