Obviously this is now a thing, which I've used on vinted a couple of times but never on ebay. I have some questions....There doesn't seem to be a dispatch time taken into account when sending.If you send a large heavy item like I frequently do how do...
It's still possible to make money on eBay - short their shares on the stock market lol
I'm also making my way to other platforms, FB Marketplace, Vinted, Gumtree etc. The protection fees are a joke, Simply Delivery is needlessly painful etc.Interesting to see if the platform will survive, as newcomers won't have known any better.Best o...
Resolved! Unable to send Invoice or Combine Postage
So usually when I sell multiple items to a buyer I send them an invoice and adjust the postage accordingly - there is no such option there at the moment - there is a link to combine items so I click on that and then try and collate them there and get...
New Fees calculation.
OK, I understand that there are new fees applied, and I have just noted that an item I had listed at £9.99 is now listed at £11.11! The odd 11p makes it look a very unappealing price. I could list it at £10.99 and take the hit, but my question is ......

Simple delivery: will I have to stop buying my postage elsewhere?
At present I use RM's Click and Collect. Very convenient for me. And it means ebay don't know when I dispatch earlier than they expect (my buyers do, because I message them) and so they don't use their 'algorithm' to screw over my EDDs. Does 'Simple ...
Withholding Funds
Utterly disgusted with eBay and their apparent disregard for fairness. I've been a loyal customer for 25 years, always maintained a 100% rating as both buyer and seller. I recently sold an item for £150 and sent the same day via Royal Mail Special De...
