Possible way around Simple Delivery....
This is posted from my Business eBay account, but relates to my Personal Account. So, this morning I spoke with Customer Services about the fact that eBay had changed my listings to allow Evri delivery to be chosen by the buyer, despite it being a 15...
Thread for sellers' experiences of Simple Delivery and if only their chosen carrier is actually used
Yes, I know there are a lot of Simple Delivery threads but I imagine this one will be helpful for others too. I'm holding off listing any more items and taking existing ones down tomorrow as there's no way that I want to use Evri. I asked earlier thi...
Another simple delivery thread. Help needed

Has anyone else noticed lack of sales since the buyer protection update 4th february 2025. I used to sell quite a lot and virtually sold nothing since 4th Feb. Can anyone else relate to this and what can we do?

What's happened to postage options?
Went to list something just now and the post service options have completely changed since yesterday. I usually list with free post (I then select yodel as that's my nearest/best priced drop off centre), but there's no option to offer free post. I'm ...
Ebay's response to Post Offices who refuse Simple Delivery packages with the wrong label on them
This was Ebay's response in the chat today:
Resolved! Option to send invoices disappeared
Option on sold listings to ‘send payment details’ has disappeared and I’m unable to send people invoices for combined orders like I normally do. I did a live chat with customer service, but I don’t really think they knew what I was talking about. I h...

It's still possible to make money on eBay - short their shares on the stock market lol
I'm also making my way to other platforms, FB Marketplace, Vinted, Gumtree etc. The protection fees are a joke, Simply Delivery is needlessly painful etc.Interesting to see if the platform will survive, as newcomers won't have known any better.Best o...

Resolved! Simple Delivery: why do the postage costs change based on whether the buyer or seller pays?
I've been clearing out a load of unwanted items and between some stuff not yet selling and some not yet being listed, I'm forced to work with Simple Delivery for the time being. I have excluded Evri (i.e. Hermes) so the only option is Royal Mail, and...
