Update regarding “Urgent - VAT action” email
On 17-19 February, some sellers received an email asking them to update their UK Value Added Tax (VAT) registration on eBay or potentially be restricted from selling. This email was sent in error. Rest assured, this does not affect your ability to se...
I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT FOR 40 DAYS FOR MY PAYMENT FROM A BUYER
I post an item to a seller last Saturday 8th February the tracking never was scanned the buyer had the goods on the 13th February I asked to leave feedback to say have item. I waited for ebay to call me. I had a call from a guy in Germany, so he had ...
Buyer Protection Fee Woes
I see the Buyer Protection Fee has been added to our items for sale (not for the toys category yet). I know that if someone opens a not-received case for an item and then rings Ebay, that Ebay will often refund them out of their own pocket. Thus enco...
Latest blow to postage - Evri and Inpost.
Well I came across this last night in person. Having hardly sold a thing for weeks I had a sale of an instruction manual for a device. Put it in a mailer. printed my usual Evri Lable. Drove to sainsburys , scanned it on the inpost locker and got a la...
postage prices to rise
Royal Mail to hike price of stamps again - see how much more you'll pay
Resolved! What to do when buyers receive the item but dont mark it as delivered ?
I am a fairly new seller and im running into an issue shipping my items ( specifically Trading Cards )I started out with padded envelopes with tracking and haven't ran into problems.Until I started selling less expensive cards using regular envelopes...
Buyer protection fee
I understand that eBay has to make a profit but this is just not working. I am having to reduce my selling price by 4% to achieve the advertised price I am seeking, effectively a selling fee of 4%. Buyers seem to be staying away as I have only sold 2...
"Listing Ended"
I just listed an item for auction. It went 'live'. I then went into My Ebay, clicked on 'Selling' and it only showed one item as being listed for sale. I had the actual page open in another tab on browser, so I went to that and tried to 'edit' it and...
Positive Feedback Received Should Dictate To Ebay That Item HAS Been Delivered, BUT... Funds Held
Hi, I sold an item on Ebay just 5 days ago which was only £20.00 + the £1.52 New Buyer Protection Fee to a UK buyer, and I posted it by Royal Mail using the Post Office counter service and paid £3.75 Postage costs out of my Own money, since I offer F...
eBay buyer protection fee is being added by stealth to private sellers' listings.
eBay are adding the buyer protection fee to electronic items being sold by private sellers but unlike Vinted they are hiding the buyer protection fee by adding it to the private sellers item price whereas at least Vinted make the buyer fee separate f...
New Rule - eBay to hold sellers funds for 14 days
Effective February 2025, ebay will hold private sellers funds for 14 days if the order is posted with an un-tracked delivery service (such as Royal Mail 2nd Class). I think it's a brilliant idea if they want private sellers to leave the platform in t...
Resolved! Unsold items
How long do a list of Unsold Items stay in the list? I had to stop selling due to illness so ended them all, but wondered how long they'd stay in the list before disappearing.
Zero sales from 1st Jan 2025
has anyone had this as well ?
Buyer selected collection but showing deliver to their address
I have received an offer for a item (£750 so not insignificant albeit below asking price)the buyer is certain he selected collection but when I review the offer it says “post to his address. Is this a scam or a glitch? Or am I missing something compl...
More RM Tracking issues , Seller contacted me.
Had a seller contact me today asking me to mark an item as recived so they can get paid out, the item arrived probably over a week or more ago. But the RM tracking does not show it as delivered. I can't do anything to help the seller. Ebay need to so...
