Selling To Europe...Too Many Problems
After over 20 years selling on Ebay, I've finally had to stop selling to Europe. Since the Brexit customs rules came in there has been items being undelivered, items being returned by customs even though all paperwork is correct, and postage purchased through Ebay. I even include a copy of the order in a clear envelope on…

Reduced Ebay Selling Fees question (private seller)
Hi All, I’ve not sold anything on EBay for years. A long time ago I’d often receive free listing emails but now I receive 80% off emails instead. I used to list in auction format for 10 days on a Thursday so it would incorporate 2 weekends, ending on the second Sunday. Now I’ve noticed that all the recent 80% off emails I…

Questions about VAT on buying items from USA
I was looking on ebay for an item I need and found a seller in America. I contacted them about the shipping costs and they told me that I would need to pay VAT if I was from the UK. The item is £1600, so this is £320.00. Is this correct for them to charge me the 20% VAT. Previously I have seen ebay adverts from UK sellers…

Spend ebay nectar points anywhere?
Hi all, I linked my nectar card to my ebay a/c years ago and forgot all about it. Do the points I supposedly automatically get when buying on ebay go into a "big pot" where I can spend them at Sainsbury's? My Sainsbury's till receipts points only seem to increase in line with my Sainsbury's spend. Or can I only use ebay…

As per the title, I have found something I need on Gumtree but physically at the far end of the country. Total cost is likely to be around fifty pounds. What is the most sensible way to pay in order to protect myself and be fair to the seller? (He is selling cartridges for a fairly old laser printer, so parcel post is…

Postage costs feedback on Ebay
I've recently sold a few bits and bobs on Ebay - just things I don't use any more like some kids' comics and a few clothes. Ten people have left me feedback, which I guess is enough to put a percentage next to my name. When I clicked through, I saw that the feedback is broken up further into "Accurate description",…

Ebay complaints dept, escalation for resolution? Ombudsmen?
For the past few weeks I've been unable to access my account because ebay has changed something in their system. I've not been blocked, banned or whatever. They've agreed it's on their end. It's a long story and a pain. They're telling me the same thing every time I get someone on the phone. They just keep saying, they'll…

Ebay and returns
For once I'm on the other side of an ebay return. as a customer, I bought a heated gilet, what I received was an absolute joke of an item. it looks absolutely nothing like the pictures, it's so poorly made with loose stitches and threads everywhere, the gilet is wafer thin, there's no padding inside most of it and it's…

Listing Views
I had some Doctor Marten boots listed on eBay a week or two ago which had about 45 views and 3 watchers - I listed a few days prior to that. The 80% off FVF offer showed up so I ended the listing and put it back on again reducing the price by about £10. I've had them listed for a week and have only had 3 views. Is it just…
