23-Year eBay Seller Leaving Over Simple Delivery Policy
I've been using eBay as a private seller for over 23 years. This new Simple Delivery policy is the final straw. It strips away the flexibility and control we've always had, forces us to use services that often don't work for our area, and ties up pay...

Can you still use the basket, generate an invoice and discount postage?
Resolved! Someone used my items images to make a sale..
As above. What can be done about this? Surly this is not allowed?
Preview Final Price?
Like everyone else I am really struggling with the the pricing of items, in particular the final price that the buyer will see. I have just been listing some items and have noted that if I want to achieve a viable price of say £15.99 than I have to m...
An eBay fee for the Trump tariffs?
What is bothering me is whether I'll be further charged by eBay another 10% of whatever tariff Kim Don-Trump has decreed for goods originating in different countries. I expect that, unfortunately, eBay will be compelled to charge us the 10% of the ta...
Ebay simple delivery opt out
So ebay have decided to force private sellers to use simple delivery for all listings.Previously you could select advanced options in postage and select your preferred postage method as before.Did ebay announce this to private sellers - did they .......
EBay it’s the end for private sellers.
Well finally after changing the format of their selling platform it seems every couple of weeks you have come up with the ultimate level of stupidity with this latest total ridiculous set of changes. Nobody is going to wait what could be weeks to be ...
Sales to USA after August 29th - Tariffs / End of de minimis

Is GSP broken?
Two items recently I've sold using Simple Delivery for UK buyers and GSP setup on the listings for non-UK buyers. Both times the item was won by someone abroad and they end up at the end of the auction being asked for their delivery information! And ...
Resolved! Collection 6-Digit Confirmation Code?
Just had a sale where the item is too big and fragile to send via courier, so had set listing to collection only, the buyer has been and gone, so I was left to mark the order as collected, but up popped a message I haven't seen before, asking me to "...

NO LONGER SELLING DUE TO SIMPLE DELIVERY
AS OF 15TH APRIL MY DAYS AS A PRIVATE EBAY SELLER WILL STOP AFTER 19 YEARS.I AM FED UP OF THE GREED OF EBAY AND I HOPE OTHER EBAY SELLERS DECIDE TO NO LONGER LET THE EBAY CONTROL FREAKS HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL OVER PRIVATE SELLERS.
After 26 years it's sad to say goodbye but Simple Delivery is too controlling and too much.
Tomorrow would mark my 26th ebay birthday, but I'm not staying here for my 27th. The changes over the years have been trying - (why get rid of turbolister??) - and increasingly ebay has shown its controlling nature. It's like the sort of partner ever...
