Postage in UK

[dollymixtures123]

The postage options are not safe. I would prefer to use shop/locker drop off with the buyer having to collect from the shop/ locker. Have had parcels go missing with the new delivery option. Buyer stating they never received and Evri not getting picture of delivery. The refund went to the seller as I only used Evri and had not given the buyer a choice of postage.  I had always for 20 yrs used Royal Mail signed for but no one is going to pay £7 for 2nd class delivery with Royal Mail. It’s well known that lots of people have managed to scam sellers now with the home postage. It’s sad that this is happening in the UK It’s been well spoken about on Vinted. If anyone knows of another safer way on eBay to post please could you let me know. Kindest regards D

I don't think you are understanding Simple Delivery,when used the eBay labels are either Royal Mail or Evri both tracked services not 2nd class,if the parcel is lost or damaged during transit eBay refunds the buyer not the seller who keeps the original payment.

The only postage charges over £7 are for either packages weighing over 10kg or an item over £100 sent when the only option is Royal Mail.

As for shop/locker collection this is available when Evri is chosen with the click and collect option

From my own experience with Simple Delivery, if you use Royal Mail only, your buyer will be charged £2.27p for a small parcel up to 1kg and £3.03 for a parcel up to 2kg.

Most clothing items would be in one of these sizes.  That is for RM Tracked 48.  Buyers do not have to pay £7.

I haven't seen any reports of people scamming sellers with the new postage and I am not quite sure what you mean.

If the item is delivered, tracking shows delivery.

If the buyer opens an 'item not received' claim, the tracking will be checked.

If it is shown to have not been delivered, Ebay compensate the buyer and pass the payment for the item to the seller.
