EBay’s stupid postage system
I had listed a large kitchen tap and it just sold at auction for its start price of £5. Which is hardly worth my while bothering but at least it means it will be re-used. But I see somehow eBay decided the postage cost is £2!But it’s a large kitchen ...
Another BPF question: Are BPF's added to Promote Your Item fees when item sells?

Hi, I sold our Dual Fuel Rangemaster oven today. It was collected by the purchaser this morning. The purchaser has, this evening, requested a refund claiming that the item isn’t as described. The purchaser wanted the ovens to be electric, but one is ...
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...

Resolved! Ebay has not paid me.
Sold an item that was delivered on the 5th July. It said my funds would be available today 7th July but they are still not available. Tried to go to the live chat but all I got was a Bot which was a waste of time. I am getting sick of ebay hanging on...
Where you REALLY stand on shipping using Simple Delivery including links to sources......

A Clean Sweep (almost).
Today at 09.00 every thread on P.1 of the SC board was a complaint about Straightjacket Delivery. (OK there were a couple about selling restrictions, both from the same author) I think this continuing anger and the increasing number of private seller...

Simple delivery. Compensation for damage
I listed a vintage ceramic jug and bowl set which sold. I carefully packed it up with lots of bubble wrap and wrapped 'fragile' tape around the outer packaging. Simple delivery indicated it had to go via Evri. Buyer reported it smashed on receipt and...
