Simple Delivery ....... IS ANY THING BUT !!

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

Dear Ebay why have you messed with a delivery service that wasn't broken and forced this simple delivery service upon sellers ?

All of my listing are offered with free delivery and no i can no longer adjust a simple delivery label if a purchaser buys multiple items so i can send the items in 1 parcel ..... i have to pay the full postage for each item and send them as individual items ..... where is the sense in that ?

on my listings i can no longer offer a express delivery service so purchaser have a choice of free standard delivery of express delivery for an additional cost ..... have spoken to customer services a number of times about this and you have supposedly raised a ticket each time but i've never had a resolution to this ??

Shame eBay do not come to this forum to read posts like yours, but you will have members who are here, agreeing with your sentiments above !

Combining postage has been, and frustrated many, an issue now for a long time with Simple Delivery and combining postage, not possible. We are though receiving reports here, that buyers placing purchased items into their basket first, eBay then combine postage.

If postage was purchased though Simple Delivery and you now post all the items together the buyer will receive a refund for the unused labels they paid for, might be worth sending them a message explaining this, and that it may take up to / over 30 days for the refund to appear. You will though, only have one tracking number for all those items, and a potential opener for an item not received case.

The best way forward would be to cancel all items, of course, with the buyer's acceptance, and relisting them as one, so there's one important tracking number, one postage price. Ensure any message to your buyer makes it very clear the reason why the items are being cancelled, that they are to be relisted on eBay again, for the buyer to buy, leave no room for doubt that this is Not an off eBay sale.

Some sellers are leaving a message on their listing, for example..... ' If you wish to buy multiple items, please let me know before buying, I will relist them as one listing so only one postage cost is charged, combining postage is not currently possible. Or, place items in your basket first, and eBay will combine a postage cost for you to pay. '
