Hi @treetopsminicottages 

 

Usually when you select skip for now it would leave a cookie on the browser with to say skip for a number of signins. Do you have the browser set to clear cache and cookies when you close it? 

 

Unfortunately its not something we would have control over here but I will pass this feedback on to the site development team. 

 

Thanks,

Dave

Hi gpt99-2007, thanks for your post.

 

If the buyer paid, then you can go ahead and ship the item to the shipping address that is the transaction details. If you fail to ship the item, the buyer has 30 days after the estimated delivery date passes to file an item not received case to get a full refund.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Thanks for your reply, thesmokingrunner.

 

In that case, you can cancel the order if you wish, and that will issue a refund to the buyer and you get your selling fees back, and then you could relist the item.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Regarding this announcement today

https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Announcements/Introducing-a-cheaper-way-to-return-items-that-weigh-l...

 

eBay are 'excited' to announce a ten pence reduction in returns for items that weigh less than 1kg.

 

Is this a joke? When I saw the headline I thought eBay had finally seen sense and introduced a large letter return rate.

 

Why would I be excited to pay £3.29 for a return instead of £3.39, when if I handle it myself it would cost me less than half this amount?

 

Question is - when will eBay give us a large letter return lable option?


Hi @darth_baggins 

 

The shipping team just came back to me. They advised the reason for this is because Royal Mail are one of the partners who provide return services on eBay. Royal Mail tracked returns are only offered in medium parcel format, so we are unable to offer a large letter returns service.

 

At the moment there is no solution for this but if one one becomes available in the future they will implement it.

 

Thanks,

Dave
