Sold a few high value items on eBay using the £1 offer, never again...

In that situation I would probably make the delivery option for the item "Free collection in person". Then, in the item description, say that you might be able to arrange delivery to their address, if they contact you in advance with their postcode.

That way, if the buyer makes the purchase yet is outside your delivery/collection range, it's definitely their own fault.

Expired on mine?

Or better still put your items on shpock, no fees at all, totally free and as most buyers live local no sending parcels through rip of royal mail.

Got this :smiley: stuff listed cheers.

Did not think i needed to act like i was in an english exam?

Was typed mega fast on my mobile app however thanks for your completely useless comment.

Feel proud keyboard warrior that you feel the need to be an a***wipe <3

Just worked for me!

I will never use paypal or ebay to sell things specially paypal as some claimed there money back via bank as an unrecognised/dispute transactions and then paypal claimed the money back from me cheeky **** was about 9 months later such bull *** the person blatantly waited and obviously new why on earth would you wait that long to say oh hang on that random transaction isnt right. Plus when i said to paypal its not write they said they have no power to stop it happening so i said so in theory i can buy a high value item and wait past 6months then go to my bank and reverse transaction she said basically yes although it wrong :confused:

cheers

'You're not eligible for this promotional offer because your seller standing is Below Standard.'

Anybody have some advice for me? Sold a couple of large items with delivery specific rules, asked buyers to message with postcode before purchasing and they've just purchased and I couldn't fulfil delivery and so I've marked item as out of stock.

Schpock all the way for me, granted you get less for your item but there's no hassle of fees, postage and the worst of all; bloody eBay cases being raised by sellers after a month of bashing your item.

Just worked for me.

I gave up selling after a rash of non paying bidders. They were also overseas even though I set the auctions to U.K. only. eBay to me feels full of scammers.

Thanks

Unfortunately, you can no longer sign up for this promotional offer because it has expired

I disconnected from Sky WiFi, went though on 4G and could access eBay

So maybe there's a peering problem atm?

So you're proposing that if someone sells a low value item - say £1.70, the eBay fee should be a £1.00?

Perhaps you need to give your suggestion a bit more thought.

Seems like a decent thing to do when you know it's down. Sellers who were expecting bids in the last few mins but can't could be won by you. No doubt a frequent negative feedback leaver when things out of sellers control go wrong.

Typical eBay buyer TBH!!

eBay need to cut the BS and just amend their rip off prices. Them and Paypal get 3% irrespective of their continual "offers". They pretend they are different companies. If that is true why can they put your money on hold in a company that is not theirs?!!

£1 on items up to £10, £2 up to £50, £4 up to £100, £7 up to £200, £8 for £300, £10 for £400, £15 for £500 - on TOTAL cost including postage PLUS the 3% Paypal fee

I don't think many people would have an issue with those fees, I certainly wouldn't. What do you think?

The fact that they don't actually store or send any items and all they (fail) to do is maintain is servers I wonder how many £million they make everyday from their UK operation? Based in Luxembourg.. Hmmmm

Qualified, thanks!

It's working for me now.

I imagine a few people have unexpectedly won auctions at 99p :confused::laughing:

Ebay down: http://downdetector.co.uk/problems/ebay

Still can.t get on ebay..anyone else

ebay having big issues at moment - cant buy or sell in UK (not sure if everyone but substantial outage) - may be affecting this offer.

Went in through PIA and worked fine.

yeah I'm having trouble accepting this, Once I click accept the page will not load.

Not available to me as usual. I don't think these offers ever will be.

ebay selling page is down atm

Once accepted, does this automatically apply to live listings or do I have to cancel and relist?

Lol

I've got some Jazz mags under the bed to sell cheers

cant login for some reason

Heat for the find but I stopped selling with ebay two years ago. Ebay always side with the buyer and a couple of times ive sold quality merchandise and been blatantly ripped off

Finally got through & have accepted the offer :smiley:

tried to log in on another computer - same thing so it's Ebay's end (or possibly my a/c!)

ebay site not brilliant at the moment, is it just me?

Sold a few high value items lately and saved a bit using these FVF deals but the Paypal fees still really eat into the money. I do use other sites but have to admit eBay still tends to get the results especially since we lost the FST forum on here

Thanks

got this hooray - after 2 fails last weekend :smiley:

Sold a few high value items on eBay using the £1 offer, never again...
