Resolved! how do you list anything bigger than 61cm?
Ebay is now forcing me into SD with no custom delivery option The largest postage offered under SD is 61cm There seems to be no way to list anything over 61cm and get the correct postage, even if you declare the dimensions in the listing height, widt...
Early Payout?
This morning, Friday 18 July, a payout was made to my bank account. I also received a payout on Tuesday this week. Has eBay changed the payout dates? Have I missed an announcement?
Resolved! OK. Simple delivery will override your domestic postage policy. It's here
Just tried to list an item. Can't put free postage option. It's simple delivery or nothing. They're just making this even more complicated now.
Resolved! Updates to Buyer Protection Fee as of 17 July - give with one hand and take back with another!
I have just read eBay's recent email excitedly letting us all know they have reduced the flat fee of 75p to a more palatable 10p per item. BUT...they have made changes to the percentage added on top of that. They used to add 4% for anything with a va...
New Fees calculation.
OK, I understand that there are new fees applied, and I have just noted that an item I had listed at £9.99 is now listed at £11.11! The odd 11p makes it look a very unappealing price. I could list it at £10.99 and take the hit, but my question is ......
Changes to Buyer Protection fee. How does this help?
How on earth can this be good news and help me sell things? Yes a reduced flat fee - but look at the total cost in fees when all are added up? Without the ability to add multiple items into the basket, this is getting ridiculous now.
Compulsory SD
I am trying to get my head around today's latest announcement of changes and need some help in understanding how this will affect me as a private seller. I am currently in the process of selling off a large portion of my postcard collection. Many ite...

Resolved! How do I change postage service, when sold?
I am completely lost. I have a buyer, who has won two items. I used the simple post system and Evri. The buyer says they will not pay, unless I change it to Royal Mail as Evri always loses their items. I have googled and fiddled around and can't see ...

Is eBay actually dying? Or is it just private sellers that are suffering?
Ok I know I only sell a handful of things but I'm getting no views and few watchers. Things were much better a year or so ago. Are auctions falling out of favour?
Title: eBay Is an Absolute Embarrassment — Run by Greedy, Out-of-Touch Dinosaurs
eBay is hands down the worst selling platform on the internet today. It’s a bloated, broken system run by corporate parasites who haven’t evolved in over a decade. They don’t give a single damn about sellers — especially resellers — the very people w...
Funds not available when due
I sold something on the 16th. Ebay has said funds will be released on the 18th. Its now the 18th and nothing. Item confirmed delivered. No disputes. Old seller. Why?message still says funds available on the 18th but they’re not in my ebay balance.
New postage policy seems a bit dodgy...
Anyone else find the ‘new’ postage process for sellers frustrating and a bit suspicious? Specifically: Ebay now require sellers to select the postage service during the listing and only allow them to use that postage service once the item has sold. T...
