Ebay payments amendments
It seems that ebay are taking some notice of complaints, as they are now saying they will make payment for items under £25 once feedback is received whether sent tracked or not. Let's hope they pick up on other complaints too and act on them. Continu...
Accepting an offer is now a nightmare
I had a message asking if I'd take £9 for an item as an offer. I agreed. Trouble is the buyer sent the offer of £9 but it included the fees and I've ended up with £7 odd, I haven't got a clue about how to accept what I actually want for the item. Doe...

So is the new 'no seller fees' rule ONLY on the UK site at the moment as the US site still has fees
I had to check something on the US site and was surprised to notice that they seem to still be charging private sellers fees? So have the new rules only been implemented in the UK or have any other countries also had them imposed?
Unjust Negative Feedback but eBay won’t remove
I have been a buyer/seller on eBay for 18 years and had 100% positive feedback over 1,200. As you can see from these numbers, I'm not a business seller; I just sell bits and pieces of clothing from time to time. Because of this I always list items as...
