Ebay, the Indian giver

[simefeld77]

So, Ebay start the year scrapping selling fees, great.  Then they realise they're losing money so implement the Buyer Protection BS which adds a little extra charge to every item which Ebay pockets and the seller has a slightly dearer item which deters more buyers.  Now to get even more money back they introduce simple delivery which means Ebay pockets the delivery charge which is automatically set depending on the item size.

So all the seller gets now is the total item value minus the delivery charge even though its us sellers that are paying for the postage at the post office/courier.  Well done Ebay.

If you use the Simple Delivery label, you don't have to pay at the Post Office because it is a pre-paid label that the buyer has paid for.

See below for a SD breakdown.  The item sold for £12.05 + BPF and postage. I printed and used the label Ebay provided and I got ... £12.05.

This is fine if you've got a printer but my only printer is at work.  So if I sell something on an evening or early morning I'm having to come into work just to print the label instead of using my own like I've done for years.  Ebay are forcing seller to use their labels which also don't have accurate pricing for the weight/size.   Ebay should give sellers the option of simple delivery or using their own labels/pricing.

You can also get the SD label printed at the dispatch point.
