I was checking my listings earlier to make sure the SD prices hadn't done anything silly, this being the 20th May, the day they were changing things.
I was looking at them on this browser (Chrome) with this posting ID, and I noticed that all my SD listings had Click & Collect, which none of them should have.
I have checked my preferences and it's definitely 'not enrolled' for C&C. Yet I was able to add a listing to the basket, go to checkout and the option is there for C&C at my local Evri drop off (no option for Sainsbury though).
If I look on my selling ID using Firefox, the options isn't there - but that could be because it's my ID & my item.
If I look on Edge, not signed in at all, the C&C option shows again.
The strange thing is, this particular listing is LL up to 1kg, and SD price is 2.70 (RM Tracked48), but the C&C option is for it to be sent to my local EVRI store.
On the plus side it may help get a sale as postage is only £2.26 so 44p cheaper.
On the down side, it's blummin' confusing seeing it sometimes and not others, depending on ID and/or browser.

On your postage preferences page you have obviously opted in to Royal Mail and Evri for "Simple Delivery". I believe with Evri selected the buyer can choose a local Evri drop off/collection point as well as choose doorstep delivery. This is separate to the Click & Collect option you can also see on that page.

I received an email from ebay on 7 May, title "Changes to Postage Rates" - it includes this:
New collect from store option with Evri
To continue improving the Simple Delivery experience, we’re rolling out a collect from store option this month with Evri. This will be a cheaper, more convenient option for your buyers, where they can collect their items from the Evri parcel shop or locker of their choice, and save 15% or more on delivery costs.* If you’d like to offer this option to your buyers and have currently excluded Evri from your couriers, be sure to add them back in by going to your postage preferences.

Thanks, both!
Yes, I did wonder if it was to do with that. If I buy, I will certainly be looking to buy from sellers who have Evri
selected, as for a long time I have wished we had the option to send to the local Evri drop off.
