Just a heads up, the Royal Mail Click and Drop website is down, it went down yesterday evening (Friday 19th), it is still down this morning. However, the Royalmail.com is still working.
Resolved! Starting Bid keeps being rejected.
I enter a starting bid into the box and scroll down and select "List Item" (ALL other fields have been completed). I then get the listing page back with an error on it saying that there is no starting bid so I scroll down and the "Starting Bid Box" i...
Resolved! Despatch time - Ignore this
I have just taken an offer on an item, today is Friday 11th July 2025 and the "post your order / Get prepaid label" page says I have to post by Sunday 13th July 2025 - what happened to Working Days. This is in addition to spending an hour on chat to ...

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...

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
Dear ebay In Eve Williams’ update today, she said "I want to take a moment to highlight a few key updates shaped by your feedback”. If that is indeed the case, then will feedback also shape the policy on Simple Delivery? After all, SD has led to more...

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 ...
