Resolved! Simple delivery - just got to have may displeasure recorded
I know there is lots on the board expressing frustration about simple delivery. I live a 10 minute walk from a Yodel drop off point, but to get to eBay's preferred couriers I would have to drive. I am fed up having to bypass the "simple delivery" opt...
Has anyone else noticed a 'boost' overlay on some of their listings if they see them in a search?
I just noticed this and honestly have no idea why it's being marketed at me, I've never, nor would I ever, use any kind of promoted listings system. There's a couple of reasons, the first is the recent changes to the promoted listings policy seem to ...
Click & Collect on some listings but not others
I have Click and Collect turned on in postage preferences but while most items show it as an option others don't, what reasons might there be for this?
Ebay sales non existent under new conditions.
Been on Ebay 20 years and it was a great way to finance my holidays and little luxuries. I did well and met some lovely people who bought my items. Now sadly it all seems to be finished - no sales for the last 3 months, totally unheard of in the past...
prepaid
It is very frustrating when you want to post an item that has been paid for by the buyer and you are unable to do so because you cant print the prepaid postage label because the address has an error, an error that has not been recognized in the past ...
VAT threashold/ restriction
I have recently had my account restricted for a month (now back on) as I hit the VAT threshold of £90k. I have subsequently registered for VAT on the Global system. In my situation approx 50% is UK sales 40% is to non EU buyers and 10% (due to brexit...
Royal mail tracking not updated in ebay
I posted 4 Royal Mail tracked 48 parcels on Monday, Ebay shows no tracking activity on the sold items but if I check on the Royal Mail "Track your item" page all show that they are in transit showing up to date details. Has the link between Royal Mai...
Can someone tell me how to block a buyer from all my sales?
I have a buyer who contacted me asking me to group together a load of items and sell them to him as a single lot. I refused because 3 already had bids but offered to sell the remaining 9 to him on ebay as a single listing. He now keeps buying items, ...
Delays in getting payments from E-Bay
I used to get my funds within a couple of days now its a couple of weeks if i am lucky!! E-Bay does not provide for general feedback (not that it would do any good as they do not seem to listen to any of its customers). Also this buyer protection fee...
Global shipping to the usa
Morning all what has happened to the global shipping program from UK to USA had a buyer unable to complete a transaction the other week now another interested buyer states that there is no global shipping option for his location in the USA despite it...
Resolved! A Ebay member has used my photos for their listing.
Hello. This can't be right surly. I have been browsing the site, and I couldn't believe my eyes. I've just noticed another ebay member has stolen my photos. What I've sold is a one off, so very unlikely they would have the same. I have also a few day...
Should Ebay restrict the amount of times an item relists automatically?
Purhaps restrict to 6 times (6 months) if no other action has been taken. Ie new price, new photos, sell similar. If sellers are active and motivated to sell nothing will change. If sellers stick an item on and do nothing again ever, it just clogs up...
Printing 6x4 labels with simple shipping
Any way to change the label print format to 6x4 instead of A4? I have a dedicated thermal printer with labels set up with Royal Mail for 6x4, but obviously it can't handle A4.... I can just use Photoshop to resize it, but it's a lot more messing arou...
Resolved! Ebay and the taxman
Hi, Like a lot of people I'm wondering about selling and whether I have to pay tax? It's a mix of my late mum and dad's stuff and stuff you buy from charity shops and car boots, a lot I've bought for myself over the years and have now sold. Obviously...
Simple Delivery
I sold an item today, which for some reason included Ebay's 'Simple Delivery' method. I don't know why, as I normally sort it myself via Royal Mail 48 hour tracking using my local PO.So I am a bit clueless as to how this system works. I have no print...
