Buyer won't collect item, but has paid. What now?
I sold a large heavy item on eBay which was listed for collection or courier at buyers expense. The winning bidder sent a message asking me to generate an invoice based on collection (so £0 postage). Since then I've been in contact with them every 48...

Anyone else feel this way? As a private seller. I am seriously contemplating stopping selling because of these rip off "buyer protection fees". It is very, very off putting for buyers to see these strange buy it now prices. All it really does is forc...

Resolved! Simple Delivery Mini PC
I hope I picked the correct forum for this, if not let me know.On occasion I sell Mini PC's. Small PC's under 1kg. For some reason they have never allowed Simple Delivery. Which, given the £300-£400 price, means I have to use Special Delivery to insu...

I am close to closing all my listings from Ebay as I am now forced to use the awful Simple Delivery. It may be simple but it is total rubbish and a huge con. I have just gone to list a dvd in a slim case, it weighs less than 100g so it would have cos...
Resolved! Simple delivery the last straw
After nearly 10 years of selling I stopped completely and closed my account because ebay started messing with a great selling platform. I started as a hobby when I retired selling a few old IT bits and pieces and this gradually turned into a great pa...
Royal Mail price increase coming October 2025 could be the final straw.
Let's face it. Small sellers are doomed and have been since eBay decided to concentrate and subsequently bend over backwards for their larger seller's needs. Those that are barely hanging on in this unequal system, with its flawed fee structure and m...
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
With the MTD for IT becoming mandatory from April 2026 what low cost accounting software do other Ebayers use that will make this possible. With profit margins squeezed and postage costs forever increasing turnover can be high enough to make MTD mand...
