The Communication Workers Union (CWU) at Royal Mail and Parcelforce has confirmed their intention to take national strike action on 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 and 24 December.
The strikes will cover Black Friday and two days after Cyber Monday, which means deliveries may be subject to delays during this busy period. Please check our Royal Mail Industrial Action page to see the steps we recommend you take to minimise the impact on your business and how we’re protecting your performance.
It’s a situation that only adds to the challenges already facing small businesses. But please know we are publicly advocating for eBay sellers – like in this article in Retail Week – while working to ensure buyers are made aware of potential delays to deliveries during this time.
To support your sales and minimise disruption over the peak trading period, both Evri and DPD are also offering eBay exclusive discounted rates for a limited time when you buy labels on eBay. Please visit our Royal Mail Industrial Action page to learn more about these labels.
Thank you for selling on eBay,
Your eBay Team
