Simple Delivery Yodel Inpost

[lapollynka]

Does anyone have InPost and Yodel available to choose from?

Nothing yet - though who knows what they mean by starting this week!?

By end of Friday? By end of Saturday? Within 7 days of them announcing it?

Inpost prices are now on https://www.ebay.co.uk/sellercentre/postage/simple-delivery

I couldn't list/choose Inpost on a test listing (but only spent 1 minute trying).

One month later and still not showing the new options on my postage preferences. (Private seller account).

I got this from CS live chat today:

I have reviewed the details and as per the latest updates let me inform you that the Inpost service has been integrated and now it has been under the trial process and please be assured that you will be getting the Inpost service in upcoming days.

Me: Thank you, how long is 'upcoming days'?

I am sorry as I am not able to give you a particular timeframe but as this option is being added to the sellers in batches so I am expecting that it will be added to your account soon.

Just relisted an item and have spotted that inpost has been added to my postage preferences, not an option I want so turned it off again. No notification from Ebay that they had done it.

I have noticed ebay keeps adding delivery options. If you check your preferences once a week you "should" be ok. Saying that... I have never offered Royal Mail as an option, but just this week someone purchased something via Royal Mail, I checked my preferences and Royal Mail was NOT an option. So I had to walk a 4 mile round trip to post this item. I have now added a picture to show Royal Mail is not an option by adding a screenshot to the listings photos and also added a paragraph on the subject to my listing, in short saying I would cancel the listing if they did not choose Inpost which is the closest in distance for me to post. I will ofc keep checking my pref's as new delivery services are added. Ebay do notify us in a sense: They send emails saying they've updated terms and such like - that we never read, but they don't directly inform you of an individual change, such as the above. Hope this helps someone.x

I just prefer to use the one closest to me. I recently found out as our 5
closest inpost lockers were full for 3 days solid, that you can actually
search for lockers that have space. Passing a petrol station (that wasn't
on our list) we saw lockers, when we checked online they had space Yay!
99.9% of the time I don't want to speak to strangers so lockers are good
for me.

The carrier is selected by eBay based on the preferences you have selected and other logistical factors.  The buyer does not get to choose the carrier themselves so the photo and paragraph that you have added won't achieve anything and may actually put some buyers off.

Ebay does reserve the right to overide your preferences in certain situations.
