eBay buyer requesting to return - help!
I've recently returned to eBay private selling after a pause of over a year. I'm still familiarising myself with the new rules. I started with selling bulky collection in person items.

Hi, I've found a car on an online auction website, the buy it now price is less than 50% of similar cars, a bit below for the current bid price. The other cars priced more reasonably though. Other basic checks for the cheap car come back fine, I just find literally 0 reviews/feedback about the online auction company. It's…

Electrical item bought on eBay does it come under guarantee?
I bought an electric eye pad on eBay. Got the instructions but no mention of guarantee in leaflet. I also bought Armitage sandringham wash basin taps. They came in original box but cannot see the warranty. Do I assume items bought from eBay do not come with manufacturer warranty only eBay’s grantee of 30 days? Thanks

Legal letter from French seller
In September 2021 we bought an exspensive kitchen item from France through eBay. Unfortunately the item arrived damaged and with an EU plug ( listing clearly stated UK plug). To complicate matters we had paid a considerable amount of import duty and VAT on the item. This was fine as we could get this back if the item was…

eBay promote an item - difference between 'default' and 'GB' campaigns?
Hi all. I've got a couple of things on my personal a/c which has had very few views the past few months yet I'm cheaper than other sellers for same items and yet these folk are managing to sell when I check 'sold items'. So, I'm thinking about promoting a few of the listings (between 5-8%) just in the hope to get a few…

Label and packaging advice for Ebay
I've been selling some stuff from around the house and so far so good, I have mainly been using Evri and printing off the label onto A4 and sticking it to the front of the parcel with tape, this is also going well but I would like to use sticky labels instead and I don't want to print in the shop, I prefer to do it at…

Warrant a negative?
To keep things simple - purchased an item on eBay. Item was posted 2nd Class Signed For. I have waited 2 weeks since dispatch and it hasn't arrived - tracking just shows 'We Have It' since it was just signed for and not a tracked service. Contacted seller 10 working days after the item was posted. Waited 3 days - no…

Ebay Auction - Should I reveal the Reserve price?
As title says, I'm selling a second hand sofa on Ebay with a reserve on it. The sofa has multiple watchers and one bid so far. Someone has messaged me asking what the reserve is on the item, I've politely responded by suggesting they bid on the item to find out the reserve price. They've replied asking me for at least a…

Sorry if this is a simple question. If I make an offer can someone else still nip in and buy it at the full price or is the item 'on hold' until the offer expires? Thanks

lost item compensation
I recently sold an item through FB Marketplace. Posted using tracking but it hasn't arrived. I understand that, if I give evidence of sale, Royal Mail will refund the postage and value of the item. I can then refund the buyer. However, this means that I am out of pocket as I no longer have the item to sell. I do not have…

Things I come across in the Post Office
I had one of these threads running years ago as I could just not believe some of the things I see at the local PO or mail centre - and couldn't resist one today.

Then once the deal goes live accept it to my account and then release all the listings from drafts into live auction.

Can we still use the old way of listing on EBay?
I've been listing on EBay since 2005 but had a break the last year. Thought I'd try listing a couple of items tonight to get myself back into the habit of it again but it's taken me almost an hour then I gave up when I got to the postage part. Our local Post Office closed down over a year ago so I would be using Evri to…

take care with ebay advice about alternative couriers during RM strike
I noticed that where an RM strike is imminent the ebay postage page states helpfully that sellers should consider an alternative courier to avoid issues around delays with RM. I would treat this suggestion with extreme caution. Tempting as it might be to take ebay advice and get your parcels out via courier instead it…

Gixen was a great tool but it's owner now wants money (yes, you can still have 4 free snipes per month, how generous!). I used jBidWatcher some years ago, it was unreliable. So, are there any free yet decent snipers left?
