Similar to Vinted but at least with Vinted the buyer chooses & pays the shipping cost from their side & Vinted charge a slightly higher protection fee so there are no fees for private OR pro sellers, simple & uncomplicated system that works!
Ebay are now charging buyer protection fees, holding funds & squeezing business sellers! Complicated greedy lose lose situation all round.

squeezing business sellers
How are the squeezing business sellers as far as i am aware there is no change for us.
My fees remain the same as they did 6 months ago, my postage will be unchanged and no delay on availability of funds so same as it always was.

I do and hate QR codes because I have to go to my local post office when I rely on doorstep RM collection. Don't have a smart and won't until there is no alternative.
Took my last 3 listings down late last night and had in the title not selling after 03/02.
Now here is something interesting.
I worked out that titles for listings should not be too specific so I simplified mine.
Still wasn't getting many views/watchers.
Sold 4 items in 7 days then suddenly I find views sky rocket and I really mean sky rocket, with one item getting nearly 700 views.
I'd been looking for an item and prior to those sales all I got was business sellers and the Chinese promoted listings with few private sellers.
After those sales I got so many private listings which is what I wanted.
Now this is no co-incidence to me and I am convinced that once I got a few sales what I saw in searched changed.
I've sold and bought on eBay over nearly 17 years but I am not having these changes for payment and am not having a buyer choose what post method I use because I like RM doorstep collection and have not had one item go missing.
There will be trouble ahead and I see this now as a scammers paradise. Buy a piece of jewellery or evening dress for an event, make the seller wait 14 days for payment and in that time, attend event then take out a INAD within the 14 days. Refund plus item for free.
