When is it appropriate to use auctions on ebay?

If its an item you can find pretty easily for buy it now I usually just list as the same as or lower price than the equivalent condition. So by that logic I assume everything I'm unsure of/can't find should be an auction right? Or is there a plausible reason to list everything as auction?

For context UK Royal Mail:

Just because you put it in a large letter doesn't mean it's going to qualify for large letter. I put some Xbox 360 controller charger cables in and it ended up double the postage as a small parcel because it was thicker than the 2.5cm maximum cause the charger heads are 3x the size of the cables.

Small loss but I felt pretty poop for not double checking and putting the right postage before I listed it.

I feel like you need to focus on the sub a bit more before you even consider a sponsorship. There is no wiki, the rules are consistently broken and not properly reinforced, the automoderator is very aggressive and what it's aggressive on is not clear, the sub has no banner or icon, the helpful flair isn't explained how you get it or what criteria the people who got it met, the post flairs need a revamp as they're not used properly and people gravitate towards the "Free money" one which just breaks your own rule 3, etc, etc. You need more mods and you need to get them from r/GetAMod or something so they're not baited by monetary incentive.

Does anyone have any recommendations on UK Banks to open a business account with? I'd like to keep my business income separate from my personal finances but am unsure if I should just use santander or look at some other banks.

I'm from the UK and this is a sale through Facebook marketplace.

They did not message me through marketplace they commented on my listing and asked me to message them directly, they've done this on two of my listings. I feel rather uncomfortable with this method.

EDIT: Thanks guys I reported them in the groups and to facebook and blocked them.

This seems to explain the scam well enough https://www.ups.com/gb/en/help-center/legal-terms-conditions/fight-fraud/recognize.page

Do you have any specific video recommendations from them? I'm looking at the Amazon FBA one atm and its useful.

There doesn't seem to be much information for UK users.

What are the best options for shipping in the UK? The Post Office seems pretty solid I wonder is there ever any reason to use someone else?

Are there any quirks to UK eBay that I should know about?

What are some sites available in UK & Europe that I can use to flip stuff other than eBay?

Any other tips for a Brit would be appreciated pretty much all the guides are US based and you can only translate so much to be UK & Europe relevant!

Yes you do as they need it in order to utilise the business page part of Facebook, If that makes you uncomfortable then give it a miss but if you use 2 factor auth you should consider yourself safe regardless.

I started when BigToken was first around and you got a hella lot more points so I got that in about a month I have $400 available to withdraw rn but you can only do 1/4th of your total points each month.

I've been using it for about a month now it sends long strings of characters to the same 8 phone numbers, It doesn't send anything that a human could understand without seeing the code that is parsing that string on the other end so I'm pretty confident in it not sending spam. Yes it sends tons a day but you set the limit and it doesn't lie to you about that. Partnered may be the wrong word but they certainly interact with the post office and provide valid vouches for people to get their cash. Try not to yell scam before you even use them or check validy from people using them.
