Stamps on E Bay
Our Christmas card and stamps are on E Bay already but it tickles me she wants £1.85 postage.

Re: Stamps on E Bay
Is it really worth getting sacked for £30 because in this day and age, RM will do anything to sack people over the slightest infringement

She might have got away with just selling the stamps but the card is a big clue from where they have come from? it also scales it down to Cleveland silly Girl.DGP1 wrote:Is it really worth getting sacked for £30 because in this day and age, RM will do anything to sack people over the slightest infringement

We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.

Re: Stamps on E Bay
I wouldn't say its a bullying tactic but RM give you these stamps on the condition that you don't sell them on. Its beyond me how anyone can stoop so low for £30 on E Bay after her paypal and E Bay charges what £25, yeah right.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.

It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.
The stamps are not for resale unless you want to pay tax on the resale value.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Stamps on E Bay
Yep, but save for someone going out of their way to grass someone up, I don't think that HMRC have the time or funds to go chasing up people for £25 worth of stamps sold on eBay.clashcityrocker wrote:It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.

You seriously think the managers aren't trawling ebay and wouldn't think twice about reporting them to their boss and the HMRCTheCobra wrote:Yep, but save for someone going out of their way to grass someone up, I don't think that HMRC have the time or funds to go chasing up people for £25 worth of stamps sold on eBay.clashcityrocker wrote:It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.

I agree but then they might just decide that if the system is being abused by a few it might be as well to shut it down for the many as well.TheCobra wrote:Yep, but save for someone going out of their way to grass someone up, I don't think that HMRC have the time or funds to go chasing up people for £25 worth of stamps sold on eBay.clashcityrocker wrote:It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.

I hope you were at least semi-joking, personally I prefer not to live my life with fear and paranoia!DGP1 wrote:You seriously think the managers aren't trawling ebay and wouldn't think twice about reporting them to their boss and the HMRCTheCobra wrote:Yep, but save for someone going out of their way to grass someone up, I don't think that HMRC have the time or funds to go chasing up people for £25 worth of stamps sold on eBay.clashcityrocker wrote:It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.

I also hope my line managers have more constructive things to do with their time, nothing would surprise me with this company, but I couldn't care less to be honest! If you go round living in fear of things on a daily basis, i.e. the management, the government, whatever, you just reduce yourself to being a slave. Free yourself, do what you want.

Re: Stamps on E Bay
Fair point though, ti would be a shame if they stopped giving them out cos of people putting them on eBay, that would be very humbug of them.clashcityrocker wrote:I agree but then they might just decide that if the system is being abused by a few it might be as well to shut it down for the many as well.TheCobra wrote:Yep, but save for someone going out of their way to grass someone up, I don't think that HMRC have the time or funds to go chasing up people for £25 worth of stamps sold on eBay.clashcityrocker wrote:It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.

Re: Stamps on E Bay
And therein lies the correct moral position. Employees who sell gifted staff stamps onwards are wasters who put the 'staff perk' at significant risk.clashcityrocker wrote:I agree but then they might just decide that if the system is being abused by a few it might be as well to shut it down for the many as well.TheCobra wrote:Yep, but save for someone going out of their way to grass someone up, I don't think that HMRC have the time or funds to go chasing up people for £25 worth of stamps sold on eBay.clashcityrocker wrote:It has nothing to do with Royal Mail management bullying tactics and everything to do with HMRC.TheCobra wrote:We should be allowed to do what we want with them, some of you guys have really let the Royal Mail management bullying tactics get to you if you are afraid to sell some stamps on eBay.
