Private a/c - can you give an agreed partial refund for a returned item?
Hi So I sold an expensive brand new and sealed item a few weeks back. After two weeks of using the item, the buyer wants to return it simply because they don't like it - they even mentioned it's not faulty just not for their photography needs/wants. Obviously I'm NOT happy as the value is now far less than it was when I…

eBay Zero Selling Fees until 15 April - WOW !
This unexpected puppy landed overnight. Maybe eBay are getting concerned about the impact of HMRC requirements on their business model ? I guess the dilemma is whether to rush in and relist all the promotional listings added from last week (70% off, 80% off and £1 FVF) or take the hit now by sending Offers to Watchers this…

protection for sellers
I suspect this might raise some negative comments , but having read a similar plea on a different forum I thought It was worth raising here. There appears to be an ebay purge on serial returners, or buyers claiming an excessive number of INRs at the moment. This is not unusual for ebay, they go years without doing anything…

eBay Tax Return and Stock Held ?
So I've registered for 2023/24 Self Assessment for the 1st time, as after 50+ years, I now exceed the £1k / 30 item benchmark by buying goods to resell on eBay.

We spend hours trying to sort this out for her, even though we were not obliged to do so. We even liaised with her plumber for him to fit the part. Eventually, the…
