What The Hell Is The International Fee For Private Sellers?
I admit I must have been living under a rock or something, but I was under the impression that when eBay 1) Removed fees for private sellers and 2) Brought in the "Buyer Protection Fee" to try and claw some of this back. But the justification was alw...

Country/Region of Manufacture and Country of Origin

Last time for me
I set up a personal account a few weeks ago to sell some unwanted personal items rather than them going through my business account. I had read a great deal of bad things about Simple Delivery but thought I'd see how it goes. My last item was sold th...

It would be good to see everyone else's "Dear Eve" letters here. I can't post the email addresses, but just ask copilot. Feel free to copy mine, post the one you have already written. Even if you are just quitting the platform, don't tell us on the f...
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
With the MTD for IT becoming mandatory from April 2026 what low cost accounting software do other Ebayers use that will make this possible. With profit margins squeezed and postage costs forever increasing turnover can be high enough to make MTD mand...
