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.

The 6,000+ postings in the thread I now can't find shows the depth of feeling about it.

Re: A 'Petition'

Hi Andy,

I agree fully with "BINNING" Simple Delivery and  Buyer Protection Fees. I have previously signed another Petition along with many others. I have also Emailed ebay's CEO to register my complaints about the imposition of these policies and also the new payment terms which result in payments to Sellers taking 2/4 days longer for monies being received. I recommended that they monitor the messages on the Community Forum to fully understand the level of anger being registered by ebayers. I received a reply from some minion who defended the party line. I got the impression that ebay hear the message loud and clear but are not listening. Ebay, should understand and appreciate the success of their Platform is dependant on a partnership amongst them, Sellers and Buyers without whom they are a busted flush. The quicker they revert to straight forward Sellers Fees the better for all concerned!

Re: A 'Petition'

I couldn't agree more if I tried. Seller fees and 'Complicated' (aka Simple) Delivery have made this site untenable, private sellers have all but disappeared so I have reluctantly removed all silver coins I had for sale and have sold them all to a Silver dealer with absolutely no hassle, no fees, with immediate payment & post free. This just leaves a few jigsaws on for sale which will most likely go to a Charity shop soon and then after nearly 10 years of being a true private buyer and seller on ebay it will shortly be ..bye - bye.

Re: A 'Petition'

Dump Simple Delivery & Buyer Protection Fees.

Revert to Sellers Fees.

If you do not, you will loose both Sellers & Buyers in droves, without whom your selling platform is redundant!

...leaving it dominated by sellers from China who flood search results with listings for the same product in different accounts with very slightly different descriptions and at very slightly different prices, but perhaps that's what eBay wants.
