Ebay simple delivery opt out

[cartermk]

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 ....

I searched around a while and eventually got this from the chat bot:

"Eligible listings will show Simple Delivery as an option when you're creating a listing. Starting 15 April, 2025, Simple Delivery will be the only delivery method available for private sellers when listing eligible items."

The recent changes like BPF and simple delivery have been extremely irritating but not terminal. I think this is terminal for me.

I cannot express on this forum without getting deleted my extreme annoyance with ebay.

You have said that Ebay cover any lost or stolen packages. Do you have the source for this please? 

That means if i send a package and it gets lost or stolen and buyer claims not received, Ebay handle the claim with the courier?

I'm asking as other Ebayers have said that isn't the case.

Here you go here is eBay's statement on loss or damaged items sent under SD:

Get full coverage for your items

From the moment your item is scanned by the courier until delivery confirmation, the full value of the item is covered against loss or damage during transit. Plus, you won’t have to worry about responding to buyer claims.

Unfortunately, not for me. I noticed I sold a pair of trousers, which are very expensive and I was already selling it for less than £15.00 with a postage cost of £3.95, once I have expenses with tape and bag apart the delivery, to send the item… And suddenly, the trousers was sold by £12 something IN TOTAL!!! I was in disbelief!!! Not only THE PRICE OF THE TROUSER WAS DOWN, AS THE POSTAGE COST WAS £2.70… ZERO CONSIDERATION FOR THE PRICE I PUT ON THAT ONLY USED TWICE TROUSER, AND ON THE PRICES I PAY TO SEND A NICE PACKAGE!!! I went to check my listings, and BANG! Second shock: ALL MY LISTINGS WAS MODIFIED!!! EXPENSIVE PIECES, INCLUDED!!! It is disrespectful!!! I am searching for other platforms where I can sell my items, as they are part of my income, as long as my husband had a very bad illness and no longer is working!!! It is a shame!!! I have been selling on e-Bay since 2010… 😩

And they have the nerves to say: “we heard your needs and because of this, we are pleased to say that now, we can offer SD…” something like that. They do their choices, and put on private sellers the “responsibility” for that, as we pushed for that… 🙄 I am feeling disrespected and invaded, specially all my listing was altered to down, both in cost of the pieces and even on postages, which does not seems fair to me as I already have competitive prices… I am in loss now and will try to revise item per item, and see what can I do while I don’t feel familiar with another platform of selling… 😔
