EBay card reader
After watching @Jamie Sullivans live the other day on replay whilst at work, he mentioned card machines / readers for car boots and that. For anyone that’s going to eBay open, could anyone ask them if EBay would ever do card machines? Designed to only work with business eBay sellers when out in person selling, be that car boots, fairs, fetes etc, depending what you sell. So we know the main ones like sumup, stripe, even banks have them now for your phones. Could eBay do one, 1.5% transaction fee +20p eBay fee per sale. Or even 50p per sale with 0% transaction fee. Even if it’s on the eBay app so you can have it on your phone. Links directly to your ebay account. Would that be something people would use? Poll below. Also would that be something someone could ask at the eBay open?

Hard no from me...if I'm selling at a carboot I don't get where eBay even comes into it?
Promoted Listings fee added 24 hours later?
I've been noticing that Ebay's promoted listing fee (not transaction fees) seems to be appearing up to 24hrs later after sale and even after posting. I'm sure it used to happen almost the same time as the sale and transaction fees. The reason I ask is I keep my own speadsheets and when they are add extras later I could miss them......or (***puts on tin foil hat***) are Ebay adding them later hoping I won't notice!!!

@Hanli Sinclair I didn't realise it was up to two weeks, my records are probably miles off then....

@Kevin Johnson I'm starting to think about dumping off promoting to be honest
Everything sellers! Show me your photography setups!
Morning everyone 👋 I currently photograph all my items using natural light, which gives me great results. The problem is, now the weather has turned, the light isn’t nearly as consistent! I’m also buying and selling larger items, so my 1-metre photo cube isn’t going to cut it anymore that I used last year. I’ve seen quite a few people using LED panels and ring lights, but because I photograph a lot of electronics with glossy plastic and screens, I’m worried about reflections and harsh highlights. I’m thinking a studio light with a large softbox/diffuser might give me a similar look to natural light. The only catch is that I photograph everything in my kitchen-diner, so whatever setup I go for needs to be fairly quick and easy to put up and take down each day. What lighting setups are everyone using? I’d love to see your setups or hear any recommendations, particularly from anyone photographing electronics or larger items. Thanks in advance for any ideas and inspiration! 👍

My set up is a bit different....an old baby changing table!!! Picked up on FB market place for a £10, then I attached a pair of extendable lights from ebay (£20) and some foam boards from Hobbycraft on the back. Very crude but does the job for me. I work from a loft bedroom so I also get some natural light from a skylight.
Royal Mail Labels
Hi all, I am new to the group and really look forward to learning from everyone. I was hoping someone could help, is there an option on Vinted to print Royal Mail labels yourself? As I am only ever able to get a QR code and I would like to start printing my own labels. Thanks

@Teresa Webb I second this.... :)
Ebay Bundle Discounts....Thoughts?
I have noticed Ebay have introduced bundle discounts. This is not a new idea it is coping Vinted's feature, but hey, I think it's a good idea if it helps boost sales. My question is though, and it may be to early to know, if someone uses a bundle deal on your store can they also use a store coupon or does it over ride that? Any thoughts on this or the bundle deal feature?

@Leanne Little That's a fair point, I'm an everything seller and I've only ever had it used once on Vinted...
