Courier was not able to deliver item so it is being returned.
Hi, I sold an item last week. The courier (UPS) has tried to deliver both to the buyers address, and to a local Access Point for collection, but has been unsucessful, so the item is being sent back to me. The buyer has great feedback, and I believe him when he says that he was in for the delivery, and the Access Point was…

EBay tracked Royal Mail delivery scam
I bought a phone on eBay and it was sent via Royal Mail 48 tracked delivery. I have not received it but tracking says it has been delivered showing blurry picture of a different door. Someone was at home all day and I have ring door bell and cctv - no footage of postman on that day, no card anywhere either. EBay quickly…

Bubblewrap on eBay << which supplier
Where do folk here buy bubblewrap from on eBay. The last time I purchased bubblewrap (500mm x 100) was last year and was about to buy again from the same supplier However, I see the seller has quite a lot of negative feedback with buyers stating the 100m rolls were often sold short, as low as 50m. It's not the odd one, it…

Wrong postage on eBay listing
Can anyone help me here? I sold a few books in a bundle on eBay and for some reason put the postage as 87p letter rather than simple delivery (only noted when I came to generate the label). It’s clearly not one of the exceptions from SD, not sure what I’m meant to do here. Am I meant to send it anyway even though it’s…

International Sales Taxes collected by Ebay...are they classed as turnover for self assessment?
When selling an item abroad, let's say the USA as an example, Ebay collect and pay an international sales tax on behalf of the buyer at the point of payment. This amount is added to my gross amount by Ebay. As this amount never reached my account and is really a tax between the buyer and their country, am I right in…

Item Posted 22 Dec been returned to me today by RM
I sold an item in December and it was sent off using Royal Mail under the eBay Simple Delivery scheme. The buyer never messaged me to ask where it was, so I had no nowledge of it being delayed, until I received it back today Do I have to refund the item price, or the item price plus postage ? thanks

USA Buyer
A buyer in the USA has tried to buy one of my items but is unable to do so. I have checked and I am registered for the GSP. Is there a ban on selling to USA after Trump's tariffs, or am I missing something?

Why Do Ebay Sellers Tell Outright Lies ?
Purchased an item, loads available, chose this one because the listing shows RM T48 with delivery Friday which would be a reasonable expectation as we need it fairly quickly. Item now marked as despatched and tracking provided ……. but with Evri so who knows when we will actually receive it 🤬

Royal(Czech)Mail large parcel MIA
3 weeks waiting for a large parcel with £70 value. Please, how do I contact this lot directly? Their site just takes people around in a perpetual loop ad nauseam, ad infinitum. Usual story with most sites nowadays. "We've got it (edit:Yes, but I`d like it now!) We have your item and it's on its way. More information will…

Unsold now inactive eBay
Not exactly earth shattering news but Ebay have renamed the previous Unsold listings to Inactive - least on the app. Not sure of the logic behind the name change but you can still relist from there so no change to functionality.

I'll do my best to be brief, and thank you very much for any help. This has never happened to me before and I am upset about it. I ordered an item on eBay, paid for it and there was a mistake about the delivery address. I contacted the seller immediately and she told me she had not posted the item and she cancelled the…

RM causing issues again
I'm really getting frustrated at Royal mail as I once again have 2 INRs open, both items sent at the end of January, both LLs. One is a business sale so all I can do is refund the buyer, and because it was a low cost, to me, stock item there's no point in wasting time fighting for a refund from RM so I've lost the original…

Combined postage
Hi I've just sold 2 items to the same seller who has paid. I've been sent 2 RM prepaid labels, 1 for each item. One is for £2.18 and the other for £1.20 which is the same as the usual £3.38 postage. Do I just package both items together and print both labels and stick them on the package? Thanks

Returning Vinted parcel - since I have to pay is it best to use RM?
Hi all I purchased an expensive bag off Vinted. Typical seller says 'new with tags' yet the item had a lovely time in Madrid, bag full of tissues, a wine cork, receipts (hence I know it was madrid) and crumbs, not to mention damage to the lining. Obviously I was furious since it was a pressie for the wife. #rantover Since…
