A 'Petition'

In one particular thread about 'Simple Delivery' which I've been active in over the past few days, the suggestion has been made that someone - ie., me, an eBay member of 25 years - should start a petition.

With seemingly thousands of posts in numerous threads from members extremely displeased with both SD and the closely-associated BPF - which effectively replaced the 'Sellers Fee' that we all used to pay - perhaps it may be an idea to consolidate the strength of feeling in one place?

 

So, here it is - the closest we can likely get to an actual petition on this board - and please, keep it simple.

 

If you object to the mandatory implementation of 'Simple Delivery' and would like it either scrapped altogether, or made optional so those who wish to can use it - please simply post:

Scrap SD

or

Make SD Optional

 

And as the 'Buyer Protection Fee' is having negative impacts on us as sellers (and buyers, which many of us are too), and would like eBay to revert to the old 'Seller Fees' system (none of us can reasonably expect this platform to be run for free) then please simply post:

BPF - Revert to Seller Fees

 

Unless you only wish to register an opinion on one or the other, I don't see any reason why both SD and BPF cannot be included in single posts. 

 

Maybe, if enough of us make our voices heard in one place, so the powers-that-be can see clearly, they might - just might - listen. Over to you.

Re: A 'Petition'

Make SD optional for sellers

Either revert to seller fees,or at the very least remove/reduce the BPF on items under £10

 

Thanks for setting this up Andy !

Re: A 'Petition'

Either scrap SD or make SD Optional, I don't mind which, as long as I don't have to use it anymore!

Re: A 'Petition'

In my category I search for one, now sadly defunct, boutique brand and there are very few items listed now. About the top two rows are the right stuff. 

 

The rest of the search result is ads for business sellers and listings for items in Japan (where the brand is very popular), Australia and the USA mixed with loads of supermarket clothes (like F&F at Tesco, Tu at Sainsburys and Nutmeg at Morrisons) that have been listed as ‘similar to’ or ‘in the style of’ the brand I searched. Before February it was five or six pages before the overseas listings and ‘similar to’ listings started.
