Simple delivery - I was just wondering .........
Am I right that the introduction of simple delivery for business sellers means that, because the buyer pays the postage to eBay and not to the seller, there will be no fees on postage from now on? I pay 18% fees on postage, and my postage charges cov...
Resolved! Item shown as 'delivered', buyer opens INR claim. What are the possible outcomes?
Buyer has 7 ratings, but the account is made in 2020, so I thought nothing of it. I always send 2 messages before the item arrives: one to say thank you for the purchase and tell the buyer I'll ship it first thing in the morning, the second is usuall...

Couple of weeks ago it occurred to us that we hadn't sold anything through GSP recently. So checked our postage policies and it's been turned off across all policies, not something we would do. Turned it back on and the orders resumed. Checked again ...
