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.

Make SD Optional ✔️
Oh and, ps/ there are many many videos piling up on Youtube with people complaining and discussing Ebay UK's Private Mandatory Simple Delivery system, and I was looking at several of them yesterday and today, and underneath each of the videos people were commenting (sometimes Heavily) - and the percentage of those typing out comments AGAINST UK Mandatory Simple Delivery was overwhelming. If I guesstimated a percentage figure of 95% which commented Against Mandatory Simple Delivery, then I wouldn't be far off with my approximated estimate. And as for the 5% who didn't actually hated/complained about it. Well. A percentage of those didn't exactly praise it as such, but instead just praised the Youtuber for posting their informative video. But hey, go check the videos out on Youtube yourselves, if anyone wants to see that it's not just here in Ebay Community and Reddit who is displaying their anger of Ebay UK's decision !!
Here is one recent example :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkjsSmXW-QI

SD - optional - YES.
BPF revert to sellers - YES.
Frankly I think buyers have had protection a long time. I've always refunded or accepted returns. About 15 -20 items since 2003.
So that's about one each year over 22 years.
