I've noticed my listing for a surface plate has disappeared. I've just revised it, and it's disappeared, nowhere to be seen under any of the listing categories with a day or so left on it. Can someone please advise. Cheers.
Is it Royal Mail or Buyer Protection??
Hi, I am at my wits end! I sell the odd piece of costume jewellery on ebay and 1 out of 2 things I sell gets a 'not arrived' case opened.I send them regular mail, large letter and always get proof of posting. Padded envelope, written clearly etc. The...
Resolved! Simple delivery is awful
I list a few things on ebay occasionally, but this new simple delivery is just rubbish for sellers. It assumes that ebay actually know the size and weight of items And that everyone can easily get to Evri or other courier services easily. Why did the...
24 Years and This is No Longer Viable
Just a rant here. 24 years selling on ebay and 2024 has made me ready to pack it in. Fees - crippling. Unless I find it on the floor, buying and selling is now impossible to make any sort of profit. Ebay and couriers make more per sale than me. Buyer...

Ebay is it declining?
HelloI am beginning to wonder if eBay is on a rapid decline! Speaking to some other users I know personally we are all saying that, with all the recent 'revisions' that have ocurred recently the sales have declined. I have seen this myself and I feel...
Extended item not received protections
Another Ebay announcement which raises more questions than answers. Is ebay swallowing the cost? Or are they charging the buyer? Does Large letter constitute tracked, because it sure is frustrating when you see the item is posted weeks after you gave...
Return labels not issued anymore by ebay
I am a business seller, in the last 5-6 years when a buyer opened a return case for any reason -either INR or Remorse- Ebay used to issue a return label automatically and charge us for that label. We do offer free 30 days return for any reason. Howev...
"Simple" delivery of large items - what a fail - forced to wait at home for a whole day.
So having sold a large item (plastic wall cladding sheets, about 1kg, but 1 metre long) I had the joy of "simple" delivery to content with. Only option for the size was the large size, which it turns out is DHL collecting it. No option to drop off, h...
Have any vinyl/CD sellers shipped to the US via the GSP hub and not had tariffs applied?
Any eBay reps are unwilling to shed any light on this - physical music formats are exempt from tariffs but I'd like to know if any sellers shipping to the US using the Global Shipping Programme have had tariffs applied or not to the total for the buy...

What The Hell Is The International Fee For Private Sellers?
I admit I must have been living under a rock or something, but I was under the impression that when eBay 1) Removed fees for private sellers and 2) Brought in the "Buyer Protection Fee" to try and claw some of this back. But the justification was alw...
Giving up selling because of stupid "Buyer protection Fees"
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...
