Ebay is dead - killed by greed

Buyer fee destroys sales

Simple delivery bonkers

RIP Ebay

I think if your items are over 61cm, you are allowed to choose your own postage. The Custom postage option should be available, or you can buy postage outside of eBay. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong... 😄

You would be at the mercy of Ebay's AI to decide that its "oversized" to make the larger options available

It might be quiet at times but theres not many places you can find a German range finder along side a Princess Leia doll

Simple delivery isn’t fit for use YET in many cases, in a lot of cases it is eg small parcels are cheaper than RM so they’re not making money greedily off sellers there 

its taking eBay months to figure it out 

seems no one has thought everything through

thats what professionals do 

 

what people on vinted do is use the wrong category to sell stuff when their postage is c rap

eg you want to sell a plate and the rate is for plates ie a whole flipping dinner set so trust it under something else vaguely comparable 

 

so to sell an oversized item (if you can’t access custom delivery) list it as a kitchen table and chairs eg then you get custom delivery by default 

 

not sure about entering specifics though lol 


there are certain items and categories ebay have said don’t have to go simple delivery but they have blocked people from using custom delivery for those items 

 

ebay are dragging their feet or don’t care or don’t use heir resources to hire competent people 

which is it
