How is Simple Delivery simple, yes it gives a prepaid label that is it.
This seems to be a think that makes more problems than enough and actually makes Ebay more money.
firstly yes a purchaser can order which postage they require but if choice is Royal Mail 48hr then who knows when it will be delivered.
This then holds up any funds due to the seller that then sit in the Ebay account and then they can invest it for a short time or whatever.
Surely it would be either go back to the old system and sellers arrange there own delivery as going to the post office is much simpler and things can all be sent 24 tracked.
Or do away with the services that have no hope of getting there so buyers can rest easy that their item will be delivered.

Simple as in Simple Simon, not simple meaning easy.

I am not a cheerleader for Simple Delivery, but I have accepted the change and am now using it.
In my experience, the cost to the buyer is lower.
I don't understand your criticism of RM Tracked 48 - I posted 3 items on Wednesday using that service and all were delivered today. Can you explain why you describe it as a service that has 'no hope of getting there'?
I only ever use RM and, here we are in July, and I have had NO item not received cases.

Hi
I mainly use RM to and in my experience parcels sent 48hr can take up to 2 weeks to be delivered and sometimes never get there at all.
Even Royal Mail are looking at doing away with 48hr or just delivering 2 or 3 times a week anything sent 48hr.

So, we have different experiences of using RM.
I do hope you claim every time an item is not delivered at all.
The statement below is not, as far as I know, accurate, and I would be interested to know where you got your information from.
Royal Mail have announced they will be delivering second-class letters every other day, but RM Tracked 48 won't be affected.
