Zero sales for months

Buyer impatient refund

I’ve had a terrible experience with an impatient seller. He was aware it was 2nd class post which is not rapid as they’ve cut down how often they deliver. I think I sent it on the 7th after work which is a reasonable turnaround my end. He can see whe...

I’ve just started selling on e bay and have received a promotional £50 off a purchase over £125 but I can’t see when it expires. How do I find this out?

Fees

Why does eBay charge the promoted listing fee on top of postage and taxes. Sounds just like a stealth eBay tax to me. I feel they’ve lost touch with their buyers. Anyone else think the fees are all wrong nowadays
