Amazon didn't deliver even though OTP was given - refusing refund
I ordered a Macbook from Amazon on the 10th of March, totalling £1550. The item was to be delivered on Tuesday 12th March using a OTP (one time password) which I would need to give to the driver to confirm delivery. I had multiple items coming this day. Laptop stand, docking hub, keyboard, cables, and the Macbook. All…

Royal Mail Shipping via ebay. Benefits and how to pay? + tracking question.
hi. using tracked 48 as an example. it's the same cost (£3.29+16p to take to post office) if purchased via ebay or directly from RM. is there an actual benefit of buying through ebay? i assume the tracking auto populates rather than having to manually input the details? my main reason for this point is that it appears the…

What's the point in leaving feedback on ebay
When buying on ebay I thought you leave feedback to let other buyers know about your experience but when I left 3 sellers negative feedback the feedback was removed so I went on live chat and this is what they said. I just checked the shared order id and the feedback has been removed by the system because there were the…

Buyer requests shipping to an excluded location
I auctioned a camera on eBay. The winner of the auction wants me to quote for shipping overseas to an excluded country. I also put in the description "Shipping to UK only. Do not bid if you want this shipped elsewhere" The buyer also have zero feedback. They've also not yet paid. This sounds like the start of a scam to me.…

Collected Item Won't Disappear
In January I had a collection only item that was collected in person and paid in cash. As it was cash we didn't bother with the collection code. It's still sitting in the sold items saying Buyer Paid- Send Now. How can I get rid of this or is doomed to be there for ever?

What is a proper way to sell a bicycle on eBay now?
I bought and sold 4 bikes on eBay in the past, the last time was in early 2020, just before Covid lockdowns started. I am assuming that nobody sane is likely to buy a bicycle without trying, so it has to be collection in person only. In old days the buyer would come up to the door, tried the bike on the street for a bit,…

Ebay fail to provide sign-in verification
Phoned ebad, Mexico & several US centres. Every time they agreed to change my landline verification details , which do not work thanks to ebay glitch, to my mobile details, but the wasters, who I was spending a few hundred quid a month with, fail to do anything. I`m left with the laborious effort of signing in as a guest.…

Using RM Tracked at the Post Office
I always try to use stamps on my parcels for various reasons, so I was a bit disappointed to see that the £50 insurance for RM Signed has been reduced to £20 in the latest price changes. Looking at the new RM price guide I see that they are now including RM Tracked 24 & 48 prices, which are a little more than the online…

Posting Commemorative Coins ?
Hi. Just read somewhere that the only way to send Commemorative Mint coins for eBay sales is via Royal Mail Special Delivery in order to have insurance protection, as they're legal tender. Is this correct ? I've sent £5 Silver Proof Coins in the past via Tracked 48, but on a value of say £30, makes no sense sending Special…

How long after receiving an item does an buyer have to reject it and ask for a return?
How long after receiving an item does an eBay buyer have to reject it and ask for a return? I sold an old (but working) phone on eBay. I tested it before listing it and tested it again as I was packaging it to send to the buyer. It worked fine. The buyer received it 19 days ago. They now want to reject it as they say it…

I am a private seller of household surplus. I list my items for collection in person. In the description I specify collect within 7 days. I sold an item which was immediately paid for. I have offered many collection times. Today is day 8. I've had countless messages from the buyer. How can I get her to commit to collect? I…

Selling old jewellery
I’ve got some old jewellery I don’t want - some 925 silver, gold and some foreign marked pieces. Where’s the best place to sell? I don’t want to individually sell on eBay- much rather get rid of it in one/two goes then dribs and drabs. Thanks

What is Ebay Virtual Tracking Number?
Sometimes my daughter asks me to post on her behalf so she would forward me her Ebay email which has the buyer's address etc. Today I noticed that email also contains a 7 figure Ebay virtual tracking number. Checked my other half's sale notification email and that too has the similar number. None of my notifications have…

New message from eBay re HMRC reporting
It looks like eBay are getting a bit fed up of the constant questions about the new HMRC reporting rules as well as the rest of us. All I see on various forums is people saying ‘I’ve tried contacting eBay several times for clarification and don’t understand what it means’ . This is the new message I think we have all…

Naïve / Irritating / Silly Buyers
Recently I have noticed an increase with the above buyers. I seem to be fielding more stupid questions pre/post sale than ever before... Two recent examples stand out for me: 1. Buyer complained that Evri attempted to deliver their parcel at the weekend which in their words "They shouldn't have done, as my eBay address is…

eBay/Paypal potential scam - will QR codes help
I've seen several messages on here about this subject but not one specifically mentioning this, so apologies if this has been covered in another post. I'm selling my car for spares and repairs on various sites and have been contacted by someone on eBay offering to pay by Paypal, send someone to pick it up, account only…

We had the usual scam messages which we ignored, then a message from a male who seemed genuine and he arranged to come to our home this morning. We are quite remote so said we would meet him at the local petrol station snd he could follow us back. He called to say…

Postie scanned collected item straight away as delivered
Hey! So I have sold a few items in past few days and I have had them booked for collection for today. Postie came and collected the items, which show as collected on tracking, and then a minute later they show as delivered with a photo of postie holding the items with the van in the background. I am pretty sure this was an…
