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…

Any free yet decent eBay sniper/bidder? (Not Gixen, it wants money)
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?

Item left on doorstop?
I ordered a sheet from ebay. I had an email saying it had been delivered by Hermes mid-afternoon yesterday. I was in at that time, but had only got in about twenty minutes before that. The email stated the parcel had been left in a secure porch. I don't have a porch. I checked all around the property including wheelie bins…

Fastest way to get letter to Amsterdam, esp with RM strikes?
Forgive me not trawling the board for long if this has already been answered in an obvious place, but ... I have to get a letter to Amsterdam ASAP (there's a SIM in it, is all). I'm not saying money is no object, but I'm prepared to pay more than RM would charge. Where would anyone recommend? DHL, or elsewhere?

Curious tracking entry on Evri shipment!
Not a problem, just curious why Evri would make strange tracking entry on a parcel I have returned. To explain I returned a parcel by Evri to a clothes store on Monday. On the tracking - Collected from Parcel Shop Inbound Parent Child at Depot On its way back to retailer. What on earth could "inbound parent child at depot"…

Annoying buyer
Just had my ‘favourite’ sort of buyer on an auction on my private account. Bid on the same day I listed it, then bid again two days later and again yesterday , so of course I was thinking he really wanted this item especially as no one else was bidding. Won the item last night at starting price and this morning he’s just…

Query with Postage on Ebay
I'm just about to send out my eBay parcel and wanted to use the ship your order service. It is showing me that a medium parcel up to 20kg Royal Mail Special Delivery is £6.35. Surely this cannot be correct? On the Royal Mail website the same parcel quote is £14.45. The parcel weighs just over 2.2kg. If I went with Ebay…

Shoes bought on eBay and soles crumbled after first use.
I bought a preloved hotter shoes on eBay. The item arrived in good condition and was very pleased with my purchase. But on first wear the soles started to crumble. I did a search on the internet and it seems to be very common with hotter shoes. Hotter shoes are not cheap and I thought I was getting a bargain. I have…

How to pay someone securely for a motorcycle
Don’t know if I’m in the right place here… but I’m
contemplating buying a vintage motorbike advertised on Car & Classic.
Trouble is, the bike’s in England, and I’m in N Ireland, so I’d have to have it
delivered rather than collecting and paying for it in person. I’ve been buying things on eBay for many years, using…

Ebay in US$ not £
When creating or editing listings, does anyone else have the currency appear as US$ rather than £'s? When I actually list the item it does show as £'s but it gets confusing as I worry I'lllist items too low (not that there is much of a difference in currency these days).

Can't pick up parcel - what next?
I opted for click and collect. The seller took so long to dispatch my item that I am no longer able to pick up my parcel, nor have I got anyone to pick it up for me. I will have to let my item go. I know the parcel will be held for 7 days, which I think (correct me if I'm wrong) it is returned to the seller? Once it is…
