Ebay are like headless chickens now
After the introduction of Buyer Prevention fees, I guess lots of sellers altered their prices to compensate, they've done it again and cocked up the system for everyone. We don't have the time or inclination to alter them again. I looked at listing a...
Second Chance Offer
I had a buyer who paid, cancel the next day just before I posted. I want to approach the other bidder, but cannot find a way to email them. I have googled how to make a second chance offer. I followed the instructions and under actions, is not coming...
Please ebay, make August 6th our Independence Day

Resolved! SIMPLE DELIVERY - EXEMPTIONS
It has been my understanding that certain goods (eg collectable postage stamps, postcards etc) and low value items (ie nunder£5) are not subject to the imposition of Simple Delevery and that sellers can still select their custom process of delivery.I...
Auto relist
I always use the mobile app, I have always found it so easy to list with photos. I have always opted for the Auto relist, but that option doesn't appear on screen now, so Where has it gone??? Have ebay removed it or just hidden it ???Getting really a...
Resolved! Early Payout?
This morning, Friday 18 July, a payout was made to my bank account. I also received a payout on Tuesday this week. Has eBay changed the payout dates? Have I missed an announcement?
Changes to Buyer Protection fee. How does this help?
How on earth can this be good news and help me sell things? Yes a reduced flat fee - but look at the total cost in fees when all are added up? Without the ability to add multiple items into the basket, this is getting ridiculous now.
So the hours spent making prices eg £24.00 not £23.68 have been wasted!!!
As per the title. I spent quite some time after bpf was introduced changing my prices with the particular aim of ensuring my prices looked 'sensible' after the bpf was added eg showing as £10 not as £10.12 or £9.86 [ and thus not like a foreign selle...

I’ve sold a few items and used simple delivery with Royal Mail. All my parcels are small and under 2kg and the same postage price is charged. Today, I noticed one of my parcels is going via tracked 24 and the other tracked 48, yet the same postage ha...

Tracked 48 item not received by buyer one month after being sent - best way of refund being issued?
I posted a Tracked 48 item to a buyer on June 14 and the tracking still shows "Accepted at Parcelshop" and that's it. The buyer's been unbelievably patient and has been the one insisting that we hold on just in case it shows up. I think it's safe to ...

Compulsory SD
I am trying to get my head around today's latest announcement of changes and need some help in understanding how this will affect me as a private seller. I am currently in the process of selling off a large portion of my postcard collection. Many ite...
Resolved! How do I change postage service, when sold?
I am completely lost. I have a buyer, who has won two items. I used the simple post system and Evri. The buyer says they will not pay, unless I change it to Royal Mail as Evri always loses their items. I have googled and fiddled around and can't see ...
