Can't imagine the stress you both went through. So glad to hear your back selling and receiving your funds. Long may it continue and you get some clarification for the balls up ebay caused. When a legit business runs legit and gets put through that rigmarole then when personal sellers are running a mockery using personal accounts to skip fees and business policies. Ebay seem to be Cracking down on the wrong sellers and causing complete heartache for businesses
I've got every map for Alton Towers from 1983 to 2020 when they stopped doing paper maps. Plus, I've got all the souvenir books they did in the 90s. Some very rare bits in my collection, bet its worth a bit then.
So pleased you got sorted although I strongly believe that if you didn’t go viral on here / social media that you would still be battling with them and getting no where. I would imagine they would restrict your sales during this too. You should be compensated for stress & loss of earnings!!
Same things happening for Amazon sellers as well. I suspect the same problem where they have implemented an automated verification process that is not fit for purpose, clearly
It's great what you are doing nick, ebay needs telling they have a problem. I know quite a few who have left ebay after seeing how you have been treated. Well done.
ooh Nick I bet that yellow staining in the Wii bag would have come off with some 'pink stuff' stain remover. Make a paste and rub it in, then leave for awhile, rub off with a damp cloth. Should work if you need to try it some time in the future. Great to see you back picking 🙂
Probably only got your money because you made a vid that got a lot of traction. Hundreds encounter the same problem daily and never hear back from ebay, their money is just gone. This is a lesson...MAKE A VID, expose the fraudsters that are ebay as much as possible.
This is NOT how a living man should be living, this modern world is an absolute nightmare to your mental health and physical health the stress of these so called selling sites are an almighty pain in the ass, I certainly wish you both well and hope you can find peace of mind and happiness 👍🏻
Great that you got the eBay problem sorted - watched the videos of you on the phone with eBay and the stress for you and Andrea was palpable. Must admit re-sending out that Doctor Who top without opening it first makes me nervous. I'd be wanting to open it and go over it with a fine tooth comb to confirm its still in the same condition it was sent in. A braver man than me! 😁😁
@@cblaney3931 Ah phew, so its the same packaging being reused rather than just as it arrived, makes sense. I didn't see the packet properly so was a bit of an eyebrow raise when he first said it. Well spotted. 😁😁
Glad you got It resolved Nick & Andrea and good luck with getting your points across to Ebay god knows they need some Insights Into whats wrong for uk ebay sellers. Good on you two.
Glad things are sorted for you guys as that must have been a real worry and you both looked very stressed which is never good. Great to see you both in a better place 👍♥️😉☺️
I have, what I think is a starting stock of stamps to sell on ebay. which method would you recomend, auction, buy it now or any otherway? After your experience should I choose a different agent? This is a retirement hobby, not an income generator.
Not sure if you have "Doomsday Preppers" or the equivalent in the UK but if you do, maybe try selling the maps as a prepper item? Maybe include the keyword or use another keyword like "Off-Grid" or something to get those maps to someone who could benefit from city planning maps in an end-of-the-world situation. I've never tried this and it may be a bit nuts, but hope it helps! :)
I am so glad you and Andrea finally got your money from eBay. What a nightmare you had to go through. My heart went out to you both. I don’t know how on earth you did everything . I use to sale with eBay but two years ago I stopped as they messed me about so much . I just could not cope with the stress. I am now an Airbnb, host and touchwood is a lot more easier . You are both so amazing xx
Does eBay have a live chat option for sellers? It seems to be the norm for most companies. I hope they reimburse you for time loss sorting out this. I'm so glad you have got you money now.
Please don't waste your time on the call with ebay. Whatever they tell you is just BS. I stopped selling in 2019 after 16 years and 5000,00 items sold. I hope it doesn't happen to you again, but more than likely, it will. Good luck!!!
Same with me I'd been with ebay since 1997 buying but mostly selling when it was a start up and freeserve auctions existed and was a much better site . Ebay did me out of 200 quid last year that was it for me . They'll never change as long as traders keep excepting ebays bullsh#t. Complain as much as you like but when you go straight back there selling they've won
I was selling on eBay until I got conned by a buyer. Sold an item which wasn’t damaged at all item was purposely damaged eBay took the money back off me and buyer wouldn’t send item back. I lost out on the money and item which was £280. Think it’s time to build our own platform, I have been experimenting with building my own selling platform. EBay has got too big and doesn’t care about there sellers.
Glad you are back selling, BUT it WILL happen again sooner or later. ALL third party platforms have the major weakness for yourself, THEY make the rules. Use them whilst you can, but start developing alternatives.
Chai from Chicago and Ebay customer service sound exactly like the people I talk to when I have an issue. Sounds like they are trying out AI to verify sellers and you guys were the experiment.
Love Donna Summer! I forward to hearing Ebay's explanation. You must tell them about the staff member who was particularly useless including saying you would get a call the next day which didn't happen, whch I could tell really angered you.
Hello, how do you manage to stay with 0 negative feedback. I have been on eBay for 3 years, top rated with around 5500 items sold, I pride myself on being honest and a good seller. But sometimes a buyer is gonna leave bad feedback no matter what, even if it’s not true. How do you manage to stay 0 bad feedback? Any tips would help
Guess you will get a nice little payment into your bank account now ..🤠 Have you decided to change you business in anyway to avoid this happening again ? Maybe cross listing to other sites or your own website ?
I've heard the horror stories and have had one myself but eBay is the original, is a household name and to me it's the only place to be. It's where the action is
I'm experimenting with Ebay and what I'm finding on Ebay is it's harder to shift stuff on Ebay no buyer as of yet has bought anything. They all want cheap stuff but they don't understand that the seller can't sell at a loss the seller has to make a profit aswell otherwise the seller is just giving away the stuff at a loss.
hopefully you will be recording that call from ebay for us......I am expecting a whole lot of waffle from them......that is if they actually ring you this arvo when they said they would!
Hi Nic, i've been away from youtube for a few months and i'm catching up on all the channels i watch, one seems to be missing, db resells, do you know why he shut down his youtube? His instagram has gone dry as well, i do hope he is ok, he was one of my fave channels
I do feel sorry for you but you can almost guarantee eBay will stop you trading once again sometime in the future. So, perhaps its time you need to rethink your business model. I did just that 2 years ago as I never felt comfortable with doing business with Ebay/Paypal/Royal Mail. As such, I'm no longer at the mercy of eBay rising fees and tighter rules etc and am able sleep at nights. Best move I ever made.
I think the answer to this is that if you are a reseller E-bay is still the biggest platform to sell off with a large reach to customers, or to put it another way there's not many alternatives.
So pleased to hear you're up and running again. Best wishes.

Glad you're getting back to normal! Thankfully you and Andrea didn't get too stressed out!
Thank God ! 🙂

I just looked at you stores. Yay. Im going to start my sales again in a few months. Unfortunately shipping is so expensive these days.
So Pleased Nick and Andrea to hear you are up selling again, love your videos will look forward to more, xx All the Best xx
I love paper maps Nic! I’m still selling tons of CDs. Love it! Glad eBay is trying to fix their problems. It was inexcusable.
Probably only got your money because you made a vid that got a lot of traction. Hundreds encounter the same problem daily and never hear back from ebay, their money is just gone. This is a lesson...MAKE A VID, expose the fraudsters that are ebay as much as possible.
Glad your account is back to normal looking forward to the eBay phone call update!

Great to hear, but a real shame you had to go through the wringer.
Glad things are sorted for you guys as that must have been a real worry and you both looked very stressed which is never good. Great to see you both in a better place 👍♥️😉☺️
Guys, learn to get your eggs out of the one basket, ebay are completely caring little about us traders
I have, what I think is a starting stock of stamps to sell on ebay. which method would you recomend, auction, buy it now or any otherway? After your experience should I choose a different agent? This is a retirement hobby, not an income generator.
Congrats 🎉 have a great week of selling.
I went to your store and was bit surprised you only have about 100 items listed. It looks like you have so many items? Do you sell elsewhere
Im so so glad for you guys !!!
So glad that you are recieveing your money again
Not sure if you have "Doomsday Preppers" or the equivalent in the UK but if you do, maybe try selling the maps as a prepper item?

Good to see you back Nic hope you get the answers you are looking for 👍

Brilliant news ❤️🏴

Cheers Nick I found it I bought it I’m happy
Really glad for you! 🤘
I am so glad you and Andrea finally got your money from eBay.
What a nightmare you had to go through.
My heart went out to you both.
I don’t know how on earth you did everything .
I use to sale with eBay but two years ago I stopped as they messed me about so much .
I just could not cope with the stress.
I am now an Airbnb, host and touchwood is a lot more easier .
You are both so amazing xx
So happy for u lot off love ❤
Does eBay have a live chat option for sellers? It seems to be the norm for most companies. I hope they reimburse you for time loss sorting out this. I'm so glad you have got you money now.
They do, but it's just as frustrating. The only advantage is getting a transcript.
They do but most of the time you get someone who barely writes English and just keeps on repeating a script
@@jessvdw You're not wrong.
So pleased you're back 😊
Hi nick can you send me the link for the belfast map please if it’s still available cheers Eric
Please don't waste your time on the call with ebay. Whatever they tell you is just BS. I stopped selling in 2019 after 16 years and 5000,00 items sold. I hope it doesn't happen to you again, but more than likely, it will. Good luck!!!
They’re criminals

How long till eBay something else to destroy your business
Bet you don't get any compensation
Well I bet that's a load off your mind . glad to hear you are cracking on ..........regardless chris G
I'd be surprised if you got the call from eBay !
It's Wednesday. What happened on Monday? 😆
Anxiously awaiting!
Turn on "require immediate payment"
Doesn't work if you send out offers to watchers!
I was selling on eBay until I got conned by a buyer. Sold an item which wasn’t damaged at all item was purposely damaged eBay took the money back off me and buyer wouldn’t send item back. I lost out on the money and item which was £280.

Oooh how much are the packs of smellies for the build a bear please? They will be good in our knicker drawers 😂 not that I need a job lot for them😂😂
I'm interested too!

Ebay is Kodak of selling online. As soon as a new VR platform pops up we will all jump ship.
great news!
Do you charge for postage?
Looking at their listings they very rarely charge postage
I do feel sorry for you but you can almost guarantee eBay will stop you trading once again sometime in the future. So, perhaps its time you need to rethink your business model. I did just that 2 years ago as I never felt comfortable with doing business with Ebay/Paypal/Royal Mail. As such, I'm no longer at the mercy of eBay rising fees and tighter rules etc and am able sleep at nights. Best move I ever made.
So what do you do now ?
Why would you still use Ebay after all the hassle you had to go through, There must be other platforms you can use.
Glad you're liquid again!
Yay!
WHEYYYY!!
👌👌
Hello i have got a lot of egg cups if you find any like police car thanks da e
I way you were treated
Why are you still trading on Ebay?
I think the answer to this is that if you are a reseller E-bay is still the biggest platform to sell off with a large reach to customers, or to put it another way there's not many alternatives.
I really feel for you both
Hope all get resolved quickly 🙏
eBay is a household name. It's the only place to be despite all the problems. It's where the action is. I don't consider any other platforms.
Ebay drama is good for views ie ad money 💰. 50k more veiws
Good news. Are those toilet rolls at the back? 😂
I think they are the thermal printer rolls for postage labels 😀
