I just sold an item and posted it the next morning to the address ebay sent me in an email to my hotmail with 'good on you, you sold your item' etc. I sent the item thinking all was good until I checked my ebay and the buyers address is completely different. So she has 2 addresses and hasn't updated one. I contacted her to check which one I was supposed to send to to and it is the incorrect one. What can I do? I phoned ebay and they told me to contact her to see if she can go to her old house and to also contact the post office. I don't think either is going to work, so annoyed! Ive sold lots on ebay and never had to check with a buyer if the address ebay sent me is the correct one? What should I do? HELP!!! ... View more

Hi, What do other sellers think of the ebay dashboard and feedback where there is an opportunity for buyers to rate postage time? I find it misleading as it should perhaps be dispatch time. I usually dispatch items with a working day or two and still achieve one or two low ratings for postage time, always from overseas buyers. How can a seller have a postage time rating when the seller has no control over transit time or customs clearance. Thank you.   ... View more

Seller has posted my items only to have them returned as they used an address that is no longer valid & is different to the address that I thought was provided and that I am still seeing as the postage address for the transaction when I view the transaction details. This was paid via bank transfer so there is not integration with Paypal to further complicate the address details. Has anyone experienced this or could provide advice. Thanks ... View more

Hi,   I just won an auction for a fly rod and it was listed at $20 postage. I payed fully for the item & postage but I got a message from seller saying that ups does not post items over a certain length,  and it costs about $140 instead via another freight company. What should I do? Where do I stand? I don't want to be an a$$ to the seller but that detail should have been clearly stated, and I waited 9 days to win the auction. Do I have grounds to open a dispute or just accept a refund and let them relist and someone else win what I rightfully won? ... View more
