Avoiding Simple Delivery

[amazonharvey]

Hello people some one has found the opt out for SD on listing page go down to eBay new Sd click advanced settings and there will be a pop up. Click custom postage another pop up click on then all are couriers will be there as they were before this all started

It appears to still only apply to selected categories and only to items under 100g.

EBay is saying now after listening to are feedback items sent less than
£20 eg stamps and under a 100 grams we can choose are own couriers
untracked or sent via another option some sense or we can choose simple
delivery for a safer postal service they are having a laugh .what about the
heavier items .
why don’t they just leave the blooming postage alone as long as it’s
tracked what difference does it make .
and it is cheaper But eBay looses out on the perks discount which they do
not want .
If I down loaded a label for parcel-force they still made a profit from the
side line
.
The cheapest being £2.75 or near for a stamp and less than 10 grams
absolutely disgusting every way you look at it.

At least now they have specifically mentioned Large Letters - before that always seemed (to me anyway) to be a grey area.

Hopefully, this is a positive announcement for a lot of sellers of little, low cost items.

EBay now need to bring back common sense
Hopefully they will read all are feedback and act in a timely manner and
stop acting like the bullies they have become .
We do not over charge are buyers post and send there purchases in a timely
manner

EBay blames the buyers for there choice in labels everyone know’s it is
eBay .
It is black mail to withhold the buyers details until you down load there
label
But then buyers moan why have you chosen evri ??

You can get address by clicking on invoice, but unless you at least open the simply label button, you cannot put your own tracking number in and it will not show as dispatched

You never, ever send to the address shown on the invoice.

The only address to use is the one in order details or on the SD label as that is the address the buyer has chosen at checkout.

It may not even be in the same country as the address on the invoice.

You don't have to use the SD label if you really don't want to, but that is the despatch address.

Ok thanks, I think I'm ok this time

Clearly, I missed the part about items being £20 or less 😥
I won't it the other way round. Nice effort, but not good enough.

[amazonharvey]

I would like eBay to reconsider items of greater value and weight. This
simple delivery is destroying sellers right to send there items no matter
what or with whom

Like so many of us it’s getting beyond a joke evri and there cheap donkey
post of over 7 days standard delivery
The best new’s is royal mail is now joined up to parcel-force who take up
to 1.5 long and 30 kilo weight so it does look better for the future .but
only if eBay stops giving buyers details only after you have down loaded
there label . We should know this on a sale of any kind . You have a
choice on listing evri or royal mail my tick is royal mail

Agreed. And ebay don't seem to be acknolewdigng the fact that it's not just postage, but packaging also. I buy specific envelopes to send most of my items, and each of those envelopes costs me circa 50p, then there's the tape, the petrol to the post office or Evri/Yodel drop-off point, etc. 

[doobydools3x79]

Not quite correct; I've just opened one of my listings that is for a magazine that weighs circa 50g, and, being a private seller, there is no other option but for the Simple Delivery, starting at £2.72 for a large letter. The item costs £1.55 to post (excluding packaging etc).

Not quite correct; I've just opened one of my listings that is for a small magazine that weighs circa 50g, and, being a private seller, there is no other option but for the Simple Delivery, starting at £2.72 for a large letter. The item costs £1.55 to post (excluding packaging etc). Indeed, it was an old listing that still had the custom delivery on it, but when revising it, ebay 'upgraded' it to Simple Delivery and the overpriced postage.

[gilsm-4424]

So I was trying to update a listing as it under £20, to custom postage, but it would not change, so I have relisted in a different category and it has worked. It is a lot of extra work for us sellers, fortunately, I do not sell much. So maybe try that.

I think eBay knows about are packing costs but does not give a fig. Sellers
always take care making sure there buyers enjoy opening there boxes .we all
do because if not we loose are item and the buyers always get a refund
EBay is taking advantage from knowing we do this because then eBay does not
loose the amount the item costs
I have never understood why eBay treats us as they do because it was us
little buyer sellers who gave them there bread and butter back in the late
nineties otherwise they would still be in some one’s bedroom

Looking back eBay has taken advantage when it suits. as loyalty is not
worth it. And if there is one day a selling site like eBay the lights would
go out and the door shut
