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.

I fear it's too late and they won't listen anyway ...   instead turning private sellers into a unified army like Temu Traders.

As there is no actual category for "willy warmers" I'm sure you can find a category which is exempt from SD. Sadly tools are not exempt...

In theory it should not matter as I sell them for under £10.00 and they weigh under 100g. If I move them to say the postcard category will they still be found in a search?

I probably read that completely the wrong way but your comment made me smile. 😊
