Question about an INR

I just had an INR claim in which a buyer said he did not receive his package but tracking showed it was delivered yesterday. He said he had waited for the carrier and personally got his mail from him but there was no package. I was going to enter the...

20kg private seller limit

As a private seller I attempted to list an item that weighs more than 20kG and found to my surprise that there is no way to do this other than to offer free postage and include shipping cost in my start price. Then ignore the invalid shipping label s...
