Business closing, poor sales and then......
I am closing my eBay business, because it is not worth it anymore, literally making a few pounds a day and having gone from a £70k business, the Brexit mess and the Russia illegal war has ended sales all over Europe. High postage prices in the UK and...

Hi thereI upgraded to the Anchor Shop a while back and have still not received an e-mail invite to the Concierge service. As I am paying over £500 a month I would like this feature to be available to me. Please can you sort this for me asap. Many Tha...
Anybody else noticed a huge increase in sales since Fee Free for Private Sellers started?
No, me neither. It's like being on holiday in tumbleweed town......
Sales crashed since end of March. Anyone else?
Anyone elses sales totally crashed since the end of March? Normally can go quiet waiting for payday but this seems very odd? Yesterday was our poorest day for sales in 25 years. Or is it people not spending because every bill has gone up plus the Tru...
Why is it asking me to complete my listings on the web browser to apply policies when it's correct.
When I tried to update or list a new item on the mobile device it just keeps asking me
Final Value Fee under £10
Am I correct in thinking final value fees for sales under £10 should be 10p + vat? As I'm being charged 25p + vat. Just wondered if anyone could clarify if this is correct? Thanks
Simple delivery - I was just wondering .........
Am I right that the introduction of simple delivery for business sellers means that, because the buyer pays the postage to eBay and not to the seller, there will be no fees on postage from now on? I pay 18% fees on postage, and my postage charges cov...
Resolved! Item shown as 'delivered', buyer opens INR claim. What are the possible outcomes?
Buyer has 7 ratings, but the account is made in 2020, so I thought nothing of it. I always send 2 messages before the item arrives: one to say thank you for the purchase and tell the buyer I'll ship it first thing in the morning, the second is usuall...
Resolved! How many sellers are closing their shops or running down their account in 2024?
We have been a seller on here over a couple of our accounts for many years now. Over this time we have seen a reduction in sales from a max of £13k pcm to £60 pcm. We have been through mass seller culls, more and more control over the seller/buyer re...

Resolved! GSP - ebay turning it off on some of our postage policies. Check your listings
Couple of weeks ago it occurred to us that we hadn't sold anything through GSP recently. So checked our postage policies and it's been turned off across all policies, not something we would do. Turned it back on and the orders resumed. Checked again ...
Sales Completly Died **September 2024**
We have over 100 listings however sales are dead for over three months now. Wondering if this is about time to take our business away to other platforms as we really cannot afford high Promoted Listings fees but still no sales. NO SALES NO BUSINESS
Fraudulent customer
Hi all, Just wanted to pick your brains for help. I sold a gold Bullion bar (bought direct from the refiner, been using them for over 10 years), it was posted via Royal Mail special delivery the next day. The buyer received it, opened the tamper proo...
Business Sellers transferred to simple delivery without notice!!!!
Hello, I am a business seller with 20 years service and as of Friday 4th April 2025 have started to receive Simple Delivery labels which have overridden my postage policy. When queried, Ebay agent advised that all Business Sellers would have no optio...
Another Nail in the coffin - thanks Royal Mail
After over 20 years of trading on Ebay, I am finally starting to lose the will to fight. Ive jumped through hoop after hoop and seen a decline of over 50% in the last couple of years. After increasing my prices to cover Royal Mails ridiculous hike in...
