Hi everyone, I recently joined for like 1 month and I start selling as a private seller , and now eBay is asking me to provide national insurance number."New UK digital sales reporting legislation requires sellers with 30 or more sales, or who have s...
Ebay now seem to pay faster if buyer fills in Positive Feedback.
I sold an item last weekend, was delivered Tuesday so should have received payment today. However, buyer filled in feedback on Tuesday evening, E-bay released funds Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning. So, it would appear, on a sample set of one, that if...
Resolved! New buyer fees confused ?
Please could someone explain in simple terms how this new buyer fee thing works. I'm a private seller who lists the usual used clothes, plus the odd bits & bobs that are no longer required or needed.When this new buyer fee thing was announced I read ...
Simple Delivery problem
I listed an item. In the past when I used eBay's delivery options I could enter size and weight etc. But this time there seemed to be no such step. eBay assured me all was well, and they had calculated everything needed from the listing.It sold. Usin...
Business Policies
Are eBay playing with business policies in accounts? Reason for asking is, I went to change postage costs on a few items this afternoon in prearation for RM price increases. These are items which will be excluded from SD (under 100g and under £10 val...

eBay's Discriminatory Policy Against Sellers with Their Own Transport and Those Who Preferred Cash
I would like to discuss the issue of delayed payments from eBay, which I find concerning. Their new policy unfairly penalises independent sellers like me who handle our own deliveries. Because I personally transport sports equipment in my specialised...

eBay as confused as us about Simple Delivery?
eBay help says this about Simple Delivery postage rates for items under £100: which I was pleased to see had a 2-10kg option at a price that was close to Yodel’s £5.21 that I use a lot. BUT… there is no option for this weight range when you select Si...

Numerous people, including myself, have been talking about ebay holding sellers’ money and earning interest on it, and making use of it during the time the money is on hold. But it’s occurred to me that perhaps this is not the case. According to the ...
Royal Mail International Tracking not available as a label option
eBay has Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed as an option, but not International Tracked (eg without a signature). I sell a number of items that don't require a signature and since these items are postable it is more convenient for the custom...
