Hi everybody!
The Community Chat will open at 2pm and will remain open until 3pm on Wednesday. After that it will be closed for further questions. Of course, we will continue to take care of answering any questions that may still be unanswered—We’ll get to everything as quickly as possible.
Please ask your questions in the thread below. In order to be able to answer your questions as quickly as possible, we ask you to have one question per post. Of course, you can make as many posts as you like in the Chat- the more the merrier!
This week, our eBay Community Team is made up of kat@ebay dave@ebay and marco@ebay. Between us, we have knowledge in Buying, Selling, Fulfilment, Payments, and the Community itself. Anything we aren’t sure on we’ll know the people who will be! Please ask us any questions you may have and we’ll do all we can to support. We understand that certain topics, such as concerns about businesses possibly using private accounts, can be frustrating and important to you. Please refrain from asking the same question repeatedly in our weekly live chats. We assure you that we carefully review all posts in the forum and ensure that your concerns are communicated to the relevant teams for appropriate action.
To maintain a constructive and community environment, posts that repeatedly breach this guideline may be removed. Continued violations could result in further action against your community account. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in helping us keep our community focused and respectful.
To ask your question, click Reply in the lower-right corner of this post, type your question, and click Reply between 2pm and 3pm. The community team will answer each incoming question in chronological order and will quote the original question in each answer.
Please note that any reply without a question to the community team or discussion replies may be removed from the chat. We want to keep on track to get through as many questions as possible. We welcome all discussion to be moved to the discussion boards.
If you missed the weekly chat time, please ask your question in the community boards and tag us or we will be back next week with another chat!
Many thanks,
Your eBay Community Team

This is feedback that isn’t new but in the space of 5 days back on a basic shop I was already exasperated by estimated delivery dates and it was one factor in my decision to close the shop again.
Order number 14-14422-44443. The buyer purchases on Saturday evening at 10:48pm and gets given an EDD of Tuesday-Wednesday. This is already showing up as running behind. The buyer chooses the postage of 2nd class letter and I see has left some negative feedback for sellers for late delivery in the past. I paid extra for a 2nd class large letter so I could get an acceptance scan at a Royal Mail locker and hopefully a delivery scan to try and protect my metrics but given the state of Royal Mail delivery times for 2nd class it was always likely to be considered ‘late’.
This isn’t the main reason I closed my shop again but it is frustrating that sales here are always EDD pressured straight away.
Thanks for your input, technthread.
Shops wouldn't particularly affect EDDs, but I do understand where you are coming from. If you wish, I can send on your negative feedback for review, but just to set up the right expectation, I can't confirm that the feedback will be removed unless qualifies for removal.
Thank you,
Marco
I am currently away on my sabbatical, and will return in July. Please expect a delay in my reply

Thanks Dave, ok, how do buyers request a combined invoice on the mobile app please?
Thanks @the_brick_lodge
The request total option is not always available on the App. It will usually show in the cart at the top of the items but depending on the version and device the buyer is using it may not be available.
It's usually best to use a desktop or laptop if possible as it will always be available if the seller offers combined shipping.
Thanks,
Dave

listing vintage hammers .first one i get Domestic postage
Simple Delivery is unavailable for this item. Learn moreso i can put in age verification but the next item jumps to simple delivery and can not list as no option for age verification ?
Hi dantwocats, thanks for your post.
Age verification with Simple Delivery at the moment is not available, so you wouldn't be able to do that as of now, this is something that was flagged before, and we've referred to the shipping team.
Thank you,
Marco

Ok so what services qualify please? Where is it stated? (or should that be in 2 posts, I have no idea).
Any of the tracked options in the standard section or the tracked express options should be fine.
Thanks,
Dave
