eBay debt problem
Last October I sold something on eBay and posted it royal mail tracked but it never arrived and the tracking never updated. eBay expected me to refund the buyer but I refused as the blame lies with royal mail and not me. eBay paid the buyer but as I'd decided to stop selling ,there was nothing they could do. Today I got an…

Royal Mail owner approves £3.5bn takeover deal with Czech billionaire
I think this will be very negative for many customers of RM, the reduction in service we have seen since RM was privatised will accelerate and we will end up with an underfunded & ignored rump of a huge international business. Unfortunately, the regulator and this government are not prepared to do anything about it. We are…

The girl said the system had been updated and it wasn't letting her put prepaid as a method of payment. I ended up having to go to the next village who accepted…

RM Tracked 24 w/ Sig - Postie signed it and 'delivered'
Hi all Fortunately I've had an honest buyer in this instance who messaged to say their item posted using RM Tracked 24 with Signature was left at their door, supposedly signed for by their first name, as shown in the tracking details (tho photo by postie does show it at main door when you'd expect it to be photo'ed in the…

Missing eBay purchase
I bought an item from eBay, but it has still not arrived and should have been here a week ago. I had a tracking number but it just says it’s in the possession of RM and they won’t say any more until they’ve attempted delivery. It’s a fairly rare item, so not easily replaced, the seller seems really decent, plenty of 100%…

Feedback revision nonsense
Had my first ever negative feedback from a buyer which has really annoyed me as the feedback went against eBay's policy. I sold an Epilator and the feedback left was negative as the "device was slow compared to others they have used so will take them longer to get ready" AI chat denied my removal request despite it going…

I've downloaded and printed the Tracked 48 label. Can I just post the small padded envelope straight into a post box? Will that be good…
