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...
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...
Simple Delivery is a nightmare and a total Con!
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...
email addresses for packages being sent to the United States
Since the imposition of US tariffs Sellers are now required to include the email address of the Buyer within the Customs Declaration/ Address label on every package. As the Carrier or Postal Service is responsible for collecting the duty, they must c...

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

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...

How can I cancel a listing which I suspect a fraudster has done buy it now and paid without the fear of receiving negative feedback?
Vanishing Views
What is going on with viewing totals on ebay? The other day I had something like 12 views for an item I listed under a week ago, then those views suddenly disappeared and it now says 2. I have had other items that have lost views as well. Sometimes y...
Resolved! Private Sellers trying to Sell Valueless Stamps at Stupid Prices
I am a stamp dealer. I sell mainly GB Queen Victoria postage stamps. Has anyone noticed that some private sellers (since the free listing) are listing valueless stamps at ridiculous prices. In particular I have noticed quite a few listings showing QE...
Ebay & HMRC
Hello! A couple of days ago I got a message on my eBay account that I need to provide my national insurance number because of my sales. After some research, apparently I have recently sold my 31st item this year, so I've triggered this check-up, appa...
Ebay confirms when Simple Delivery will be Mandatory
Someone else posted this as a reply to an existing thread but thought I would post it separately. It appears to be taken from one of ebay's terms and conditions pages but I do not have a link.
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...
Be Aware! Offer prices INCLUDE the Buyer Protection Fee
