Getting a buyer's address to re-send and item when simple delivery used
So, I forgot to send a case for an item that I sold. I had forgotten that I had listed it with a case, it had been on for many weeks. My fault entirely. When I realised what I'd done, I messaged the buyer who, hadn't contacted me about it, and they d...

Simple Delivery could be about to be pushed on eBay US sellers
I just found this article which seems to indicate that unless there is some heavy duty resistance, eBay are going to force Simple Delivery onto their US sellers. If so, we can probably kiss any hope of it being rolled back goodbye. https://www.valuea...

Simple Delivery Ebays worse idea yet
Simple delivery is the worse idea Ebay has come up with, people want their items quickly, 48 signed could take 3-4 days to deliver, Evri takes up to a week, not good for sellers or buyers. Please re-include 24 signed for or allow sellers to use Royal...
Sellers - Stop using 'AI' nonsense for descriptions, you are losing sales....

Claims through EVRI for non-delivery?
When I used EVRI myself, before the eBay limitations, if a parcel went astray, I claimed via EVRI &, in all cases, got my money back, both for the delivery costs & the parcel contents. There seems to be a problem at present, judging from other posts,...
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?

This is the 2nd item I have had the same problem with. (The previous one I had to ask the buyer to cancel as after taking the item to the post office I was told they would not accept it as it was larger than prepaid label..!)Just sold a pair of Dubar...

30 items a year
Is any one else stopping selling because they've reached their 30 item a year limit and don't want to disclose their national insurance number, personally I think ebay should pull the platform from the UK if the Government don't lift or remove this s...
ebay now charging to revise listings?
I've just relisted a bunch of items. Naturally, ebay have automatically changed my custom shipping to 'simple' (anything but), even though 90% of them are still eligible for custom postage. So, I go to edit some of them & every single one of them - b...
