Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels

Packed a parcel last night to be picked up by RM. Medium size but pretty lightweight. Checked RM site for latest prices etc and noted medium parcel max 2kg same as small parcel. Parcel weighed 2.4kg so reluctantly undid the whole thing and repacked and got it down to 1.9kg. YAY! Booking pick up online I couldn't believe…

Buyer got in touch on the 6th stating they haven't received anything I replied on the 7th telling them to let me know if it hadn't arrived by the 12th and I'd send again if not They replied on the 13th…

Not sure if I am being over the top here so advice welcomed. I had an item on eBay that also had offers enabled. It didn’t sell, and my intention is to relist next time there is a fvf offer. The auction ended yesterday and I’ve now had someone contact me to ask what price I would accept. I was going to reply and say it…

So I sold a cassette Tape back in September, and reluctantly agreed to post to Europe as the Buyer was desperate for it. Never was received, so I happily agreed to an INR and refunded the buyer. Fast forward 7 months, and what should drop through the Letterbox unexpectedly with an Elvis RTS sticker ? I'm sure there'll be…

Has anyone else had trouble with app or website where you have been logged out of it and when trying to log back in it does not recognise your password (even though this has not been changed) and the forgotten password button does not work? I've tried multiple times to contact customer services since 06/04/2023 to no avail…

Hi. Hoping someone can help. I need to send an eBay parcel, which I had planned to send via Evri. However, I think it's outsize, even for ParcelShop drop off. eBay Packlink won't quote. Box weight is c.14 kg, and dimensions are 60cm x60cm x 90cm Height. I need full cover too. Parcel2Go indicates it's within dimensions, but…

Just sold a couple of items to a buyer that asked me to combine postage on them - fair enough, but then I looked and their delivery address is the USA. When I tried to invoice for a combined delivery the GSP details all disappeared and I was asked which international package service I wanted to use. So apparently you can't…

A buyer has requested a return/ refund on an item they have said was not as described. I have agreed to the refund and sent a pre paid postage label via eBay for the return, however according to the tracking number the item has not been dropped off by the buyer . EBay contacted me to ask why I hadn’t refunded because the…

Paid for an item on Thursday at 11am. Ideally I needed it on Friday or at the latest by 10am today (Monday), although I didn't communicate this to the seller since the listing said same day dispatch and next working day delivery. The seller did dispatch on the same day, but they used parcelforce express 24. If they had…

I got charged £1.92 from the above company. I have not authorised such charge I have spoken to my credit card customer service at NW and was told there is no other information except payment for services all he could do is to block future payment. Am a bit concerned who has authorised this payment, it’s not a lot but could…

First time I've ever used eBay to sell something and the buyer hasn't paid. They placed a bid for £45 on an item as soon as I listed it then went silent after they won. No response to reminders from eBay or myself and I can now cancel for non payment. What is the usual procedure here? Thin skinned perhaps but I just find…

As title says: I won an auction and paid immediately. Received message today to say one of the 2 part item has been lost. Seller asked me to request a refund. I'm OK with that but I want to make sure any negative mark goes against the seller rather than me. Is it best to request a refund or ask the seller to issue a…

I am looking at selling a couple of mobile phone on FB Marketplace, what are the best ways to not be scammed to get paid. Are both PP friends and family and a bank transfer the only way that payments can not be reversed once I have posted the item?

Is anybody else having problems wit the eBay postage policies? I had it all neatly sorted and suddenly eBay have created around 100 new policies, with similar names like Flat: UK_RoyalMailSecondClassStandard free, 4 49f06aa463aa000 and added 1 listing to each. I don't see how I can sort this out without moving them one by…

0 feedback bidder with a location marked as India. So what's the scam here? Just cancel the bid?

I need to list some heavy furniture items that I will put on as collection only.How does this work for payment nowadays - I last sold some collection items when we were still using Paypal?Thanks

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My friend gave me a big bag of clothes her daughter had outgrown. My daughter wore and loved them all, and has now outgrown them herself. My friend said she didn't want them back, so I'm planning on selling them. But should I give her half of the profits? She's not short of…

Just curious! With everything going up but Sales plummeting, wondered which way sellers were going. Are you putting prices up or are you slashing prices to get more sales and move stock? I sell very little but am thinking of lowering prices just to move stuff.
