A question about : Parcel2go Myhermes no free compensation?

Just booked a Ј9.99 value myhermes parcel shop drop off with parcel2go.

The box popped up saying that value was not covered and I have to pay 50p + VAT extra

It appears they no longer offer the Ј20 compensation?

Is this new? guess it's cheaper to book direct with hermes for the Ј50 cover

A question about : are scammers getting lazier

Just out of interest I went into my spam folder today to junk the rubbish. The usual dozens of emails purposrting to be from banks, paypal, ebay, HMRC - but they seem to be getting cruder. Are scammers getting lazy?

This for instance is a gem from 'ebay'

I have transferred the money for this item xxx on 06 February. When are you be able to start delivery? I'm very worried! If you don't answer me in 24 hours i will report you to eBay and i will announce the authorities.

A question about : Do i have to accept return?

Hi, I sold an item and today the buyer has messaged saying they dont like it and can they send it back for a full refund. I am a private seller so presume the 14 day return rule doesnt apply 'because you changed your mind'. I have however by accident/default just noticed that my listing says i do accept refunds . Do i have to go with this or can i refuse. I will lose Ј3.90 on the postage it cost to send, thanks.

A question about : ebay/paypal returns

doing my head in this one

a friend who has an ebay account (doesn't use it) and no paypal account wanted some computer parts on ebay

I talked him thru it , buying with his debit card as a guest paypal user.

parts arrived , faulty , communication has been going on for about 5 days with (large) seller

final statement , you post them back at your cost , photocopy and fax proof of postage costs and we will re emberse to your paypal account (what account?)
