Royal Mail 2nd-Class Letter – what’s changing and what isn’t
Royal Mail now has Ofcom’s approval to deliver 2nd Class Letters on alternate weekdays and will remove Saturday deliveries. However, Royal Mail has not set a go-live date, meaning as it stands currently your delivery estimates and seller metrics will...
Buyer received different item to what I posted - sale through Global Shipping hub
I've just received my first negative feedback from a US buyer, stating that the item they received is not what is in my listing photos. I have asked them to send photos of what they've received, but I can only presume that my package was opened at th...
Bizarre code when listing
Recently, when I go to "Sell Similar Item", I see not only a new format, but huge amounts of strange incomprehensible computer code in the item description box. Before it was just plain text as you can see me writing now. Now it's "%@,&*....(type her...
Ebay suspend all UK Global Shipping Program purchases by US and Canada bidders
The winning bidder on one of my items that finished yesterday (May 15 2025) was based in the U.S. He messaged to say he was unable to complete his payment through the Global Shipping Program. He received a message from ebay stating the seller does no...

When listing, system keeps asking for location when I've already input this?
I'm trying to list an item but an error message keeps coming up saying I haven't input item location when I have. Or at least I can't see what I've done wrong? Checked my personal account details and they're all correct. Can anyone help please??
Resolved! Why is ebay so hard to sell on now
I remember when i first started on my first account back in 2005, it was so easy to sell things, it didn't really matter what it was, you could post it on auction and it would sell within a week or two maximum and you'd get quite a few bidders and a ...

Back in the day Shakespeare would have said this about EBay... What would the Baird compare it to now? ... an inflatable dart board...
Simple Delivery
I don't sell a lot, just a few things that I don't want if I buy a set of things from QVC. What is bothering me is this simple delivery. I have always just taken my parcels downtown to the Post Office, which is a 10 minute walk away. We have no Evri ...
Resolved! Making an offer to a buyer
I thought I'd try making an offer to a buyer to see how it works. The item price is £5.53 plus BPF = £6.00 I want to make an offer to a buyer so that they see £5.60 (just over 6% off). Am I right in thinking that I would send the offer as £5.14 and e...
Posting of Sold Items Via EVRI
Postage by EVRi is now almost compulsary. Not a fan of EVRI at all. They lost my last delivery and somethings are not replacable dispite all the promises of insurance etc. If you use other companies to send your item as I do you cannot mark the item ...
Is a parcel being lost within Royal Mail and being delivered 18 months later a record? ....err no :)
Had one of life's *bleep*? moments today courtesy of Royal Mail so I thought I'd share it as a bit of light relief. This is actually something I bought rather than sold. The purchase was 23rd January 2024, and sent Tracked 24 - but seemed to get stuc...
Simple Delivery.
Could I have confirmation please. Just sold an item on another private account, the item has been listed for months . I assume Ebay changed it to SD. The buyer has paid £2.82 for postage but I know it's a small parcel weighing 200g which would normal...
EBay say item dispatched when it isn’t 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I’ve sold two items recently using this new Simple Delivery (Not a Fan). On both occcassions I requested and received QR Code. Before I had items packaged EBay were showing as dispatched which was completely incorrect. I did ring after 1st experience...
Resolved! Weight limit capped at 20 KG??
I've looking at selling a used turbo trainer that weighs 25 KG however under the "simple" postage scheme this is capped at 20 KG via RM or Evri. DPD and PF can offer the service to pick up and deliver but Ebay dictate that I can't use them. Anyone ha...
Buyer Protection Fees Calculator
There are loads of discussions on buyer protection fees over in the buying section of these forums, but I think they are just as relevant to sellers! Let me provide an example, have sold a couple of high value phones recently and during the listing p...
