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…

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…

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…

Trouble with Vinted
I sold a few clothes on Vinted and I tried to withdraw the money from my Vinted balance to my bank account. My bank didn’t accept the money as they don’t allow transfers in from international banks, which Vinteds payment method came from. My bank issued me with the reference ID for the funds to prove to Vinted that it was…

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…
