Confused over needing NI number and allowances
My non-related business *completely* died in May last year but I still had a huge tax bill from the previous tax year to pay off, so resorted to selling off a lot of my prized possessions on eBay to soften the blow. Today, I just got a notification a...
Buyer with 1 feedback
Hi So I sold my gaming laptop for £570 buyer has paid but I read so much *bleep* about how eBay sides with the buyer when they open a case regarding item not as described then they send you back some other *bleep* with a tracking link then eBay refun...
Resolved! Am I right that Simple Delivery cannot combine postage for multiple purchases?
Hi, I have not sold anything since last summer, but I want to re-home a few model railway engines. It is quite likely that the same buyer might want more than one. I have just found out about this Simple Delivery system and have been reading all the ...

Updates to eBay’s Promoted Listings programme
I'd love to see how eBay can justify this changed to "promoted listings". (In an email received a few minutes ago.) In future, if anyone ever clicks on a promoted listing, the promoted fee will be charged, even if the actual buyer did not find it thr...
Listing as an "Auction" with a "Buy-it-Now" option
What's the point? If one is willing to pay the 'Buy it Now' price, what would be the point of putting in a bid? Is it possible that bids could go higher than the buy-it-now price?
Simple Delivery - I want to do RM Special Delivery
Hello, I am a private seller and have listed my mobile phone for sale. I'd like to post out by Royal Mail Special Delivery by 1pm and its my understanding that RM will only insure mobile phones with this expensive postage and I don't think buyers min...
Some thoughts about the new 'promoted listings' scam, and what you can do about it.
This is a long one with some important advice (in my opinion) towards the bottom. It's worth reading because this is by far the biggest change in eBay fees in history, and seems to have largely gone unnoticed next to eBay's other acts of self harm la...
Posting a camera with a battery via Royal Mail
I need to send a camera and battery to a buyer in Belfast from South West England, and am wondering what Royal Mail's current rules are for sending batteries. I'm having trouble finding a definitive answer when checking the Royal Mail prohibited item...
Resolved! Digital Sales Reporting
Can anyone let me know in simple terms please, what this all means? I am just selling items from around the house that have been lying around and are no longer needed or wanted. Granted I may have sold 30+ items and sales are in the region of £1500-2...

Getting annoyed that I never get notifications about offers I am receiving on my items.all my settings are correct/on both on phone and in app and still not getting anything through. I could have sold an item 3 times this week had I known there was a...

Resolved! Simple delivery, Royal Mail - where can I specify Collection?
Another Simple Delivery query... I can specify my courier as Royal Mail.I can - with some tinkering - specify the postage rate.I can't see where to specify Royal Mail collection.This means I have to go to town to drop off my parcel.Can anyone advise ...
Really stressed - buyer has opened a item not received claim
Folks I know this has been talked about a lot but I am genuinely stressed to hell here. I have chronic depression and anxiety and this has knocked me sideways. I sold a handheld pc, a Lenovo legion go back in April. At the time I actually was shocked...
EBay it’s the end for private sellers.
Well finally after changing the format of their selling platform it seems every couple of weeks you have come up with the ultimate level of stupidity with this latest total ridiculous set of changes. Nobody is going to wait what could be weeks to be ...
