Help required for INR request opened
Just got a request for INR. I have to respond by 23rd December. Would that be by the end of the day (midnight 23rd) or to the minute when the request is opened? I have messaged the buyer to confirm address etc as it seems like student halls but he has not responded yet. I have this feeling that if it is student halls, he…

Return item Parcelforce express 24 (post office)
Hi just returning an item. Used parcelforce express 24 directly through their website. Now its telling me to drop it off at my local post office which is great but does it go by the weight of the item to determine whether I go to the post office or my local parcel force depot? My item weighs 25.5kg so do I just literally…

List A, B, C, D or E first ?
So I have a dilemma. I'm selling 5 extremely rare statues in the next month or two. They're ultra hard to come by and the holy grail for the Collectors who will want them. Provenance is spot on...and I've been advised by an expert to start each as an Auction with mid to high hundreds ££s starting price. What they can…

Item Not Received - Courier Says Delivered
So I sent an item out a couple of weeks ago and the buyer contacted me to say they hadn't received it. It was posted with Yodel via Parcel2Go (as that's the only drop off I have near me) and was insured for the value of the item (Approx £20). Parcel2Go says the item was delivered on their tracking but I raised a claim for…

Holiday setting items not showing in search?
Yesterday I ended my holiday settings to take advantage of the fvf offer and relisted my items and then put holiday settings back on. Since doing that my items are no longer showing. Is that normal? They were showing before I re-set holiday listings.

Christmas Auction Listing Strategy
With the Private Seller promotions starting on Friday, interested to know what members' thoughts are on 'when to list' ? It would be madness to follow normal convention and start a 7-day listing this Sunday evening. I've got 2 rare Collectibles listings prepped, and unsure what to. The first is UK Market, and veering…

I collect old toy cars. I recently bought some, mostly dating from the 1960s, none of them new, from an auction site in Sweden. Shippers FedEx have added VAT to the invoice. Is this correct?

DPD warning - it's in chaos and 24 hour parcels are taking days
Just a warning to anyone not aware - DPD are in one hell of a state at the moment, and have been for days. Stuff's not getting delivered on time, it's presumably piled up in warehouses and impossible to sort out, and those awaiting deliveries are just getting daily texts and emails blaming an 'unexpected issue' for yet…

Obvious Christmas warning
This is pretty obvious, but remember last posting dates and remember to factor in the proposed strikes in the days leading up to Christmas. These RM dates DO NOT take into account the strikes- so factor those in when deciding how close to the wire you will risk selling this year Get ready for Christmas 2022 | Royal Mail…
