Looking for recommendations to get watch valued/sold in London
I have a watch that was gifted to me in the 1970's. A popular make. Never worn but was put away. Just took it out and it is still ticking away! I am guessing it will bring £250 - 350 (or more?) on Ebay but I am reluctant to sell it there as I have no paperwork. Can anyone recommend anyone in London (willing to travel)…

Drop-off at locker. No email confirmation.
I recently started using locker drop-off when sending ebay parcels. I always enter my email address as prompted but never get a confirmation email. I've double-checked that I am spelling it correctly, I've tried two different email addresses (btinternet and gmail) and checked spam/junk folders. If I log into my ebay…

How Do You Select Local Collection With An Offer Price ?
As title, accepted an offer from seller and they offer local collection in the listing - they are in the same town - but there is no option to select local collection, it only gives delivery. Am I missing something, accepting the offer seems to bypass the normal buying process ?

What are we leaving feedback for now?
Have just gone to leave feedback for a seller yet it seems I'm now leaving feedback on the item, not the seller. In this modern day I can hazard a guess - did someones feelings get hurt because a buyer said something 'not nice' & now we can't leave feedback for sellers? I bought an item that was advertised as new. When it…

Just didn't like it return request
Sold a laptop battery on eBay, buyer has requested a return stating the reason as he "just didn't like it" Obviously I cannot resell the item, as a private seller what are the pros and cons of declining the request? Whilst it's frustrating, I expect they'll be more cons than pros so will probably end up refunding, but…

Seller breaks £2k item then wants refund. Private sale.
I recently sold a workout machine for £2000 in a private sale on Ebay. It was in perfect cosmetic and working order. The item was too heavy to post so I hired a van at my own expense, drove to the buyer's house, set it up for him and left. He was happy with the purchase and all was fine. But now, over 3 weeks later, the…

"What's the lowest you will accept for this item?"
How would you deal with this question from someone who has placed no offer, and has had no prior contact? I get this quite often - my view is I've listed an item at a certain price that I feel is fair. Obviously the listed price is what I would like - but I have placed the option to consider an offer. Why would I reduce my…
