Thanks Nic 😊👍
I'll keep that in mind then! If I don't want to bother with the formal return process I will just smash the item and return it, sounds much easier. Absolutely ridiculous.
unsupported means the wrong format, such as PDF.
Hi my hubby has just disappeared into his shed to do oily things to his Austin 7!!!😂 ..thought I would watch some u tube. Ironic or what❤
LOL so you watch another man messing about in his shed :)
Hey Nic, I run my own eBay Lego Star Wars page (cantinabrix). Got massive inspiration from you back around 6/7 years ago reselling :)
👌👌
Can I ask, are you conservative? I have a theory. You don't have to answer. It may have something to do with your social media if you are conservative.
Cheers Nic. As always. Have a great evening 🙂
Many thanks :)
First to comment lol
Just started watching your channel. I’m a huge Buffy fan! I’d buy all that stuff if you still had it. I doubt you would as I’m late to the video 😂 but wow what a find! Love the videos, definitely subscribed!
Certainly valis info esp with items where lots of people are selling same or similar items. Not so sure how it will apply for one off or vintage items but most interesting!
Complete savings £15 a month
Do you want to leads for make money
I contacted the user. I was Invited for drinks. The 🍸 tasted like rust .
What stage of cancer are you? Hope the best to you 😢
Not into action figures but good luck
No disrespect prefer you and Andreas vlog.passed on this one .love your sourcing clips.catch the next one.

I wanted to bid on the akuma but was in the pub and forgot.
I forgot again! Did the Buffy ones sell?
This function had gone these days. Please can you update this or let me know how I can make my listings mobile friendly. Thanks in advance
Don't be disheartened action figures are a hard sell on wot not . Ceramics and Clothes are the way forward. Good luck ❤
We must all have very similar interests as I watch scrapping, magnet fishing band I’d love to have the time to do some metal detecting
I will be there! I missed it last Tuesday anyway so lucky for me 😊 Hope all goes well xx
Oh wow, walking 2 miles in the heat 😳 it would be too much for me.
England are playing tonight so you might not get as many people in.
hey bud. if it’s not still sealed in the box. can’t post as new. i know that’s dumb lol but def f that guy for trying to scam you tho! that’s bs
I will go through Every Listing i have and apply each of the 5 to each Item i have and give it the best chance available. See if it actually works
Any time I’ve been told things in my favor or “guaranteed” something by an eBay agent… it hasn’t happened. Kind of like saying I’d get a call back. It’s basically as good as the next agent saying the previous one was wrong for doing so, or saying so lol
I’ve done both free shipping and not and tbh I never notice the difference. Plus free shipping sellers just add the postage to the listing. I notice you list items around £5 with free shipping I mean it can’t be worth the hassle to list an item t once shipping and fees are taken off White background I’ve tried again no difference. Photos like you said you can only post so many photos of certain items. Imho items sell no matter how you list if someone wants the item Some items sell straight away where others take stars no matter how you do your listing

Excellent, there are many creative ways to make money on the side. Nationwide paid me £100 to move accounts (offer is gone) and at the end of the year they rewarded me another £100 because the public are their shareholders. I use cash back, I have completed various tasks, subscriptions that pay £5 onwards to make it worth my time but one needs to be disciplined and on top of the subscriptions. I take advantage of the rent a room scheme and now I also do reselling. Making money and importantly managing it is so important. Thank you 🙏
Got the £100 last year and another 3 weeks ago.been with nationwide since 1985.do all our banking .saving.current account nice to be rewarded.
Very interesting with lots of good tips. Thanks Donna 😊
Hi Nick. Interesting tips thanks. I actually find that when I sell bric a brac and shoes on Vinted that a purple background seems to sell the items? I also use a brick wall for streetwear. X
Quack
So we are going to feel kind of stupid and like we're from a different universe. But we have actually seen a Monopoly board that only folded directly in half. We had one when we were a child. We've also seen this version, who actually knows the game would know that this version actually makes sense. Because it is obvious that that is not ripped and that that is a factory design designed to fit together like a puzzle.
Savvymum is epic!
This happened to me but with a 2000 dollar laptop it came back broken as hell and ebay told me to pound sand
Is there a follow-up video to this one? The eBay Headlight Saga Part 3? I want to think that eBay has changed their ways, but I doubt it.
I'm so impressed with Nic's ability to remain cool and collected when I can see that he's absolutely boiling inside! Has any good come of this effort to show the truth about so called "seller support" and the follow up video about the apology letter? I'm so glad I happened to find this video. No rose-colored glasses here. Ginny - USA
I don't think you cheated her at all. If she was that bothered, she could have counted the books out herself. Haggling is part of carboot sales. Some people don't like it, but they should sell stuff elsewhere if that's the case. The majority of books aren't worth anything at all. The lady got £7 for some mouldy old books that she didn't want or have any use for. That's a good deal these days. If she wanted more money for her books she could have tried to sell them on Ebay herself. People don't do that because it's a lot of work, time and effort and they just want rid fast. Let's call actual scammers out, but leave people who are paying good money for old rubbish out of it.
Wow this won't turn out good, eBay results are already bad enough as it is with false results
i stop selling on ebay when they changed the payment system,i just knew it would be a nightmare waiting for ebay to pay out now they took away direct paypal/bank payments to sellers,ebay now hold the payment for a while in their banks gaining massive interest and it could be a few days or could be indefinite time if they decide seller didn't do something correct...
I just watched the video from 9 years ago with the buyer and the board. I wonder if he still thinks he’s right 🤣
So - you quite correctly raised a riot over your treatment by ebay. To try and mitigate the problem you have these wonderful personal conversations with ebay. You then broadcast this advise to your viewers. "Honest and frank conversations" - probably called click bait in other areas. WHY haven't Ebay broadcast this to everyone through their messaging systems. We were already aware of these "tips" by keeping up to date with ebays suggestions. Has it ever crossed your mind that you are being "used".
How do i recieve parcels to a inpost locker, what address do you use
that has got to be so frustrating esp if you are relying on ebay income ugh I fell for your guys. best of luck
I’m dealing with them withholding my money and suspended me. Help desk hangs up on me. No response. I need that money. They said I need to get it from my state in 170 days. Said they can’t verify - yet they successfully sent payments before. It’s so stressful. I’m about to sue for mental anguish.
Running out of titles 😂
