Hi, I've recently sold an item for £60. I've dispatched this Royal Mail tracked 48hrs which 'covers the sold value'. The parcel was dispatched on the 12th and tracking hasn't updated since the 14th. I've contacted RM who basically said they can't see...
Ask Seller A Question - Gone?
I wanted to ask a question to a seller, but the "Ask Seller A Question" prompt wasn't visible. Has this been removed from the site? There was previously a selection of prompts about the item question but I'm not seeing this using Opera Browser on PC.
Resolved! since the 4th Feb my attempted sales listing doesn't work !!
HELP please ! I have been trying all afternoon to list just one new item (pair of boots) using my templates but not only does it not save any of the new info & photos I have just put in (so there is nothing to sell) but it also deletes all the old in...
THIS > is how buyers will be charged! Look
A Seller sends an offer of £5.95, you think that’s good and then go to accept. You then see eBay add the buyer protection before checkout. So that’s how it works! the moneyz is added on at checkout in the smallest writing and it made me think twice b...

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 ...

Just a heads up - Ask eBay on X/Twitter is saying Buyer Fees have been officially postponed until February 6th and they are working on getting policy pages update and a public announcement posted.

New Payment Rules On ebay i.e. 2 days after delivery
ebay;s new payment terms for Sellers is a CON. Now Sellers are paid 2 days after delivery. This means you won't be paid for at least 4/5 days after dispatch instead of immediately a Tracking No is provided for a dispatched order. This means your buye...
Recieving payment as a "private seller "
Given that buyers have 5 working days to pay for the item, this makes the money reaching your accountat least 8 days away. PATHETIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
