Royal Mail price increase coming October 2025 could be the final straw.
Let's face it. Small sellers are doomed and have been since eBay decided to concentrate and subsequently bend over backwards for their larger seller's needs. Those that are barely hanging on in this unequal system, with its flawed fee structure and m...

I hope I picked the correct forum for this, if not let me know.On occasion I sell Mini PC's. Small PC's under 1kg. For some reason they have never allowed Simple Delivery. Which, given the £300-£400 price, means I have to use Special Delivery to insu...

Simple Delivery is a nightmare and a total Con!
I am close to closing all my listings from Ebay as I am now forced to use the awful Simple Delivery. It may be simple but it is total rubbish and a huge con. I have just gone to list a dvd in a slim case, it weighs less than 100g so it would have cos...
Resolved! Simple delivery the last straw
