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.

Have you been able to 'audit' the petition yet to see which way it's heading?

AGREE , MAKE CUSTOM OPTIONAL . S.D is not workable for many established PRIVATE SELLERS.
SCRAP BUYERS FEES and revert to FEES FOR SELLERS AS WAS FOR MANY GOOD YEARS.
In trying to out smart the competition with IDEAS they are destroying their core business model .
..........and how does AUTO POSITIVE FEEDBACK AFTER 7 DAYS HELP !!! .

Make SD optional - nothing simpler than allowing me to choose my parcel size, courier service, or even additional parcels after selling.
Revert to seller fees - it's basically what 'buyer protection fee' is anyway, without having to faff with the numbers.
