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...

This is a good example of why any metrics E-Bay provide you should be treated with scepticism...
Today, I received this via E-Bay messages. 1. I've been a member for over 20 years, I'm not, never have been and have no interest in being a business account. 2. I think this is either the second or third time I've received this or very similar offer...
eBay changed my selected courier
Ok so I sold an item using "simple delivery" and I selected "Royal Mail" as the only option as its a fragile item. Yet when I come to print the label it's for "Evri". Apparently I was told the buyer can select a different courier from what I specifie...
Simple Delivery fallout.
Hi everyone, I have been a huge ebay fan and user since 2024. Due to simple delivery I have not sold a single item since 4th April 2025. I have listed a couple of items but no watchers or bids on them. It seems not only are people not listing stuff b...
Making an offer to a buyer
I thought I'd try making an offer to a buyer to see how it works. The item price is £5.53 plus BPF = £6.00 I want to make an offer to a buyer so that they see £5.60 (just over 6% off). Am I right in thinking that I would send the offer as £5.14 and e...
Resolved! Sub total plus postage
Hello...I'm a bit confused, it may be my fault? I sold an item and the buyer has of yet not paid. But the message I received from eBay shows the sub total price but no postage? I did include the postage rate in the ad and as far as I can remember I d...
Simple Delivery, is proving to be time consuming
Simple Delivery is proving to be a nightmare. Buyers from the Channel Islands such as Jersey and Guernsey can not purchase because Simple Delivery does not allow then to pay. Sellers should be able to choose whether they use Simple Delivery or not in...

Item not received
Hi, the buyer said didn't receive the item, but royal mail tracking shows delivered. Should I get my money? eBay says open cade wait 24 hours...
Unfair cancellation
I've just had a buyer submit a cancellation request to me, within a few minutes of the end of a listing, after he had paid. The reason he gave was "found a better price". This was an auction listing, so he suggested the final price, not me. It wasn't...
Private sellers getting little interest from buyers?
What's going on with eBay? I have excess stuff - luckily most of it I've gotten rid of over the past couple of years, I still have a bit more to go, mix of used & new items.I've noticed though that some of my things get 0/low views and then when I ch...
