eBay

Someone found the dates yesterday and posted them. Just thought it made sense to make it easier to find.

It's in the Help Section under Opt out

Simple Delivery will be the only listing option as of 15th April and they will start adjusting current listings from the 7th April.

So at least we know where the Iceberg is now.

You are lucky. Evri have NEVER made an effort to deliver to me. They state
they tried 3 times and then return my Ebay purchases to the seller!!!.

It would actually be better for buyers if Evri just dangled it above our heads on a fishing rod and made us dance for it.

As I said before sellers happy with SD because they use Evri anyway really don't know or care how bad the delivery experience can be for their buyers and may not know that there are those of us that tend to avoid listings with Evri delivery.

I think Ebay understand Evri's reputation problem which is why they are trying to hide their awful partner behind standard and express delivery options like all that matters is the timescales.

Yeah they used to be like that here but in the past month or so they've been behaving differently and even more annoyingly ... and I'm sure it's because they're now taking on these 'simple' deliveries. The couriers are even more rushed and I've waited ages for some to arrive. The only time they've been any good was when they were still Hermes and I was working from home every day during covid, so I was actually in.

You've just described me. And my position has little to do with the impact on the money I'll get. Aside from a strong aversion to corporations dictating how I do things, it's an inconvenience. I use Royal Mail for all of my postage because I don't have a printer and they'll collect from my door and bring the label at no extra cost - but only if I buy the postage through the Royal Mail app.

I've raved to people about the convenience of selling on eBay without having to leave my house. And now they've ruined it.

Side note; I stopped using EVRI before I found out about the free bring my label service from RM. I stopped using them after I spent one Saturday afternoon driving to four different locations to find a printer that worked. I figured the cost of the fuel and my time wasn't worth whatever the difference in delivery charges was. Particularly when the items I'm selling are almost always under £20.

Poor you (us).

I had a lady call and collect all my low value items I was preparing to
sell on Ebay. She will sell them at boot fairs for her dog charity.

My higher priced pieces of Spode will sit on my sideboard gathering dust
until this new postal regime is scrapped!!!.

Cheers

No reason to give up and let them gather dust. It's a long time since Ebay had a monopoly, there's other fish in the sea. Some are very controlling, some aren't.
