Title: eBay Is an Absolute Embarrassment — Run by Greedy, Out-of-Touch Dinosaurs
eBay is hands down the worst selling platform on the internet today. It’s a bloated, broken system run by corporate parasites who haven’t evolved in over a decade. They don’t give a single damn about sellers — especially resellers — the very people w...
What happens if you ignore simple delivery and pay at the post office counter ?
Hi,Sorry, yet another simple delivery query, specifically when an item has been identified as a large letter, but it is fact definitely a small parcel. Not wanting to mess the buyer about, if I then simply pay to send it at the post office counter as...

Resolved! Simple Delivery
Is Simple Delivery mandatory now ? used to be able to select custom postage option but it’s not available now. Just tried listing and Simple Delivery is the only option for postage
Ebay confirms when Simple Delivery will be Mandatory

Is anyone else having problems with Simple Delivery or is it just me?
I'm having problems with the new Simple Delivery. I thought I selected a up to 750g label by default as I put on a Nintendo Switch game, but it gave me 100g label - maybe it selects 100g large letter by default. With this you also can't change it aft...

Hi. I've had VAT added to my item. I am a private seller, not selling for profit, I'm not vat registered. I'm selling from the UK to the UK. Why is eBay adding 20% vat to my listing. I spoke to that support and they are absolutely sure this is correc...

The winning bidder on one of my items that finished yesterday (May 15 2025) was based in the U.S. He messaged to say he was unable to complete his payment through the Global Shipping Program. He received a message from ebay stating the seller does no...
