Royal Mail 2nd-Class Letter – what’s changing and what isn’t
Royal Mail now has Ofcom’s approval to deliver 2nd Class Letters on alternate weekdays and will remove Saturday deliveries. However, Royal Mail has not set a go-live date, meaning as it stands currently your delivery estimates and seller metrics will...
23-Year eBay Seller Leaving Over Simple Delivery Policy
I've been using eBay as a private seller for over 23 years. This new Simple Delivery policy is the final straw. It strips away the flexibility and control we've always had, forces us to use services that often don't work for our area, and ties up pay...
Dear Eve
It would be good to see everyone else's "Dear Eve" letters here. I can't post the email addresses, but just ask copilot. Feel free to copy mine, post the one you have already written. Even if you are just quitting the platform, don't tell us on the f...
Sealed vinyl arrived in Australia warped and unplayable - best way of issuing refund?
I sold a sealed 12" vinyl record sent through the Global Shipping hub which arrived in Australia 10 days after being posted. Unfortunately, there is a bad warp which means that for the first few minutes of each side, there is skipping - in essence, t...
Frustrating "indexing" yet again for a 3 day auction
I often like to list things for either a 1 day auction or a 3 day auction. However I have increasingly noticed when I create a new listing, there's a considerable delay before the listing is live and appearing in search results. I know this is appare...
EBay Policy Violation: counterfeit item policy
I get so frustrated with eBay these days as there is nobody to talk to on the phone, although, from past experience, customer service is not much use anyway.I have had a listing suspended due to an apparent policy violation of the counterfeit items p...
Simple postage and unable to choose your own courier
THAT'S ME GONE, EBAY LOSE ANOTHER CUSTOMER. I CANNOT BE BOTHERED WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM OF SELECTING POSTAGE, IT IS FAR FROM SIMPLE. I HAVE BEEN WITH EBAY FOR WELL OVER 20 YEARS AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TIME TO SELL ELSEWHERE
NO LONGER SELLING DUE TO SIMPLE DELIVERY
AS OF 15TH APRIL MY DAYS AS A PRIVATE EBAY SELLER WILL STOP AFTER 19 YEARS.I AM FED UP OF THE GREED OF EBAY AND I HOPE OTHER EBAY SELLERS DECIDE TO NO LONGER LET THE EBAY CONTROL FREAKS HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL OVER PRIVATE SELLERS.
Resolved! Simple Delivery
Is Simple Delivery mandatory now ? used to be able to select custom postage option but it’s not available now. Just tried listing and Simple Delivery is the only option for postage
Buyer Protection Fee Woes
I see the Buyer Protection Fee has been added to our items for sale (not for the toys category yet). I know that if someone opens a not-received case for an item and then rings Ebay, that Ebay will often refund them out of their own pocket. Thus enco...
Problems again with eBay/Pitney Bowes tracking not updating when GSP item has been delivered
I have a few GSP items I sold last month that have no update since July 30 re tracking - even clicking on the tracking number which takes you to Pitney Bowes' website for tracking shows no update, but I just got feedback from a buyer who received one...
Resolved! Feedback
On feedback there’s only positive, what if you have a issue & don’t want to leave positive feedback?
How do you list anything bigger than 61cm? Part two.
Haven't had much time on this yet but first attempts with this new listing format today is like this to get back to your own carrier who will take your large/small items, (preview works, not tested with listing): Still start with over £750 - £800 is ...
Opened - never used? What is that supposed to mean?
What is 'Opened - never used' supposed to mean? I'm asking this of sellers because I would assume that they have some idea what they are thinking when this description is used. I just bought an item which was listed as 'Opened - never used' but it di...
Wrongly removed listing
I have had a listing removed from eBay and surprisingly lost the appeal. I sell football programmes that were issued online but we turn them into a printed item for programme collectors. We have been doing this for about 3 years on eBay but today I g...
Resolved! Main account permanently suspended for using a VPN to bypass government censorship in the UK
Be aware, eBay appear to be doubling down hard on British users attempting to circumvent government censorship and protection of privacy from state interference. I've noticed a few sites are making an issue out of this. Google just places slow captch...
