An empty envelope was left outside my house as my product. And the app pins the item as delivered. So outrageous. What sort of scam is this?
Resolved! Sellers procedure
The winning bidder of my online auction insists he wants our address and contact number to see the item and then pay for it. I believe this is contrary to Ebay's guidance which requires the winning bidder to pay for the item and then arrange collecti...
Giving It Another Try
Trying a couple of items on auction that I can't do on V****d. Not much happening yet. I only buy the occasional item now because of repeated failures of this platform and their ongoing war against the small private seller. Since leaving 16 months ag...

Buyer has disappeared after paying and isn't responding to my messages
I sold an item back in December 2025, all went smoothly and the buyer agreed to collect the item as it is very fragile and we both wanted to transfer the item safely by handing it over in person. At the time the buyer said he would collect after the ...

I spotted this tip from Ebay themselves on the Photo Tips for new listings. I would never have thought this would make a difference.

Recently, I've had members offering an item, in exchange / swap for a gaming pc which I listed. I found this strange and declined. I checked their profile and are all registered members with 0 feedback. I reported this to Ebay as I thought this could...
