Simple Delivery is mandatory now for all Private sellers, but light at the end of the tunnel for quicker payouts.
eBay's Announcement ( see this in eBay News top left of this forum page), a few days ago states , if your account is in good standing, then payouts will be released 24 hours after the buyer pays.
eBay take care and pay for refunds if this involves items received damaged in transit or items lost in the post when using Simple Delivery.
It's not popular by all means, but no all doom and gloom too. 🤔
