Is it illegal to state that you are an Australian seller with stock available then send the item from China which will obviously arrive well after the estimated delivery time? Surely this is false advertising and against the law? ... View more

I ordered an item which stated it had Free postage Australia Standard Postage (Standard Parcel Delivery), and I supplied an Australia Post Parcel Locker.  Previously, this was not an issue and I receive a notification to collect the item once it is delivered.  However, on this occasion after the checkout payment the tracking provided as a private courier Aramex Australia (Fastway Couriers). I contacted the eBay seller and they suggested I contact the courier and arrange a redirection. Which I did, and opened a ticket to redirect to my home address.  However, I never received a reply to the ticket and when I called the courier it was merely escalated by the phone operator and I was still not contacted.   The final tracking states Return to Sender, which I did not action. eBay have now closed my case with no refund stating that delivery was attempted. I am very unhappy as the eBay chat agent said I could have just provided a home address to begin with.  I am interested in other people’s experience as I thought Parcel Lockers would be a popular option to avoid possible theft from a unattended home delivery.  ...

I have just commenced selling sterling silver via my eBay account.  I want to allow buyers to purchase multiple auctions in the same transaction and allow a flat rate shiiping fee of $8.95 for the buyer, irrespective of how many pieces of jewellery they sell. Just when I think I have it right I had a friend add things to their cart olny to find some of the items in their cart were free, and rather than being charged the flat rate of $8.95, some of the items in the shopping cart included additonal postage.  For example, they put 10 items in their shipping cart, 7 were listed as free shipping and 3 had charges of $8.95 each bringing the shipping charges to $26.85.  For these 10 items the shipping rate should be only $8.95.  What am I doing wrong?  Can someone give me a step by step guide?  Thank you. ...

I recently had printer trouble and printed 2 mailing labels. I cancelled the one I did not post and expected a refund but was told by ebay that Australia Post take 25 working days to process the cancellation. What a ridiculous situation, my invoice is due an the full payment including the unused label will be deducted from my account. The refund will just sit in my seller account until my next sale. The onus should be on ebay to refund any incorrect charges. Cheers ... View more

Shipping prices have gone up by $1.4 recently and no matter what option I choose or how small I make the parcel it won't go lower than $8.95. I'm barely making any profit on recent sales since I didn't realise how much I would be spending on shipping before the customer bought the item. It seems as though the special $7.55 eBay shipping price has disappeared from the list of options and I can only choose Standard Australia Post shipping, even though I haven't changed anything in my listing settings. Please offer me any advice I am in distress with my $2.23 profits! ... View more

Can anyone confirm - if I run out of eBay/Australia Post satchels, can I still print the label on the eBay platform and use the equivalent size Australia Post satchel, and visa-versa?  I am guessing as they both have Aust Post printed on them, and they are the same size satchel, that they are interchangeable, but just wanting to make sure, as would be easier not to have to keep so much stock of both.  Have asked Australia Post, but they haven't gotten back to me yet after 5 days, think they are overloaded with questions about the new postage rates.  ...

All listings seem to say "Postage" when the items are often sent by courier. My problem is that couriers do not deliver to my area. The nearest courier location is 60km away and parcels are just left there. It is a location I almost never visit. It is my understanding that when I purchase an item I enter into a contract which includes delivery to the address I specify. I am guessing the couriers have a clause in their contract that allows them to limit their delivery areas. ... View more

I'm a new Ebay seller.

Hi everyone, I'm still quite new when it comes to creating shipping labels on Ebay and I ended up making a mistake in my listing (miscalculated the weight), had to void the label I made and create a new one instead when sending the item. I created and voided the label about a week and a half ago (9th May). Now I've recieved my monthly Ebay invoice which includes the cost of the voided label, so my question is: 1) How long does it take Australia Post to void a label and give you a refund? 2) There's still about a week and a half left till my invoice will be paid automatically so my question is:   Will the amount on my invoice change if Australia Post decides to refund me or do I still have to pay for the full amount (including the label I did not use) and then be refunded later on? Hope my question makes sense. Thanks! ... View more

I ordered and paid, for some C.B parts and an Antenna. I was told by the supplier that there two separate packages and were 2 tracking numbers and both could be supplied if required. I only received 1 tracking number, and I received my first package with no problem. And it came up as item delivered when I checked. There was no mention of the Antenna package! I got on to the supplier again, and he said " don't worry it will come in a few days "   Could you tell me where it is in the system then?   Here are the numbers if it's any help.   Item 172820495945 Global Tracking UPAAB 000000344963231 Domestic Tracking 9405509205328567965859   That was the first package!  The Antenna, I think, has another tracking number but I don't know it!
