    I used to think this and was happy to do this but how is this possible now with the rule changes? Royal Mail want proof of cost and I didn't have the receipt. I know this was my fault in this case but not sure what happens in the case of a 2nd hand item and I wouldn't have proof of cost for that. The issue that I have is that nothing is made clear by Royal Mail or Ebay and I just feel that they make it as difficult as possible so that people give up and don't bother :(

    That seems exactly what they think :(
    I had an item sent via 'airsure' to someone in Hong Kong and it came back ripped open and empty.
    Despite it being completely trackable and showing as never made it, because I didn't have proof of cost because it was a second hand item they refused to pay out. I gave up in the end after much banging my head against a brick wall.
    Made me wonder why I even bothered sending it that way in the first place as they were happy to take my money when I sent it :mad:

    Sat here eating my lovely woopsied cherries from last night.

    We obviously got there at the right time (had a lovely chat with the lads reducing stuff who said there was no produce staff on that evening so it was being done early :j).

    Ended up with 4 bags full for £4.xx ... actually 1 bag was xmas stuff which cost cost nearly £3 so 3 bags of fruit/veg for about £1.50 :D:T:D

    Nope.
    On sign up one of the Q's is asking for weight of baby though (I assume it's in line with the range of nappies) and it goes all the way up to 16kg as a selection.

    Thanks for this, one of my nieces has a toddler, and and my other niece is due in a couple of weeks. I'll tell them about it.

    can someone tell me what the "breakfast deal" is at Tesco please.

    I've just been to Tesco and no sign of it. :( Wonder if it is store specific/ online only??

    I'm shocked that this is the case. So basically they're saying that a used item has no value and doesn't matter if it goes astray :(

    I won't send abroad anymore because even though they say its trackable its actually only properly trackable till it leaves the UK:(I did send a parcel to Italy though as the buyer literally begged to be allowed to bid but then I sent the item by courier and the buyer paid the cost.But I had far too much hassle with sending abroad so stopped and it hasnt affected my sales, but I suppose it depends on what you're selling.
    Since postage has gone up I send normal 2nd class to keep costs down, but anything over £30 I send out recorded. Ebay has got harder and you really need to keep on top of the scams on there:(

    I had this happen to me. Buyer was I felt falsely claiming non arrival from a few sellers. Reported to Ebay and they did get banned, but paypal still refunded! I claimed from Royal Mail, showing the original receipt from a year ago and saying as it was second hand item the value was now less and the ebay sale price confirmed that and I would accept the ebay sale price. They paid out in about 2 weeks.
