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.

If you're selling something for 99p then even a small extra fee is unacceptable.

do you suggest, just so I’m clear, that it should be possible to sell products, with a payment being processed, for no cost to the service provider?

Fully agree. New policy to force Simple Delivery is extremely annoying and makes it uneconomical to send items with less then 750g (RM large letter).

@xyz307xyz Hi, I saw that, and agree that that works for Evri, but if you select Evri only, how can you be sure that your customer will not select to use an Evri locker and it would not go in the locker.

We need an Evri expert... anyone used it more than once?

@jonatjonatjonat That sounds fab. What the heck is a Tik Tok shop.....? I avoid TT. I assumed they only allowed Millennials to have access.

I've not seen any option for a buyer to choose a locker for delivery.
If it is possible to redirect it on Evri's website from the ebay address to a locker, that's their and Evri's issue. (I don't know if that is possible.)

Hi @xyz307xyz It's on your link!

• For an EVRi locker drop-off:
  • Weighs up to 15kg
  • Dimensions should not exceed 66cm x 41cm x 38cm

[xyz307xyz]

That's drop off i.e. where the seller puts it. Not where it's delivered.

Fair enough!

All I'm saying is that I want to be able to choose and pay for my own postage. I don't want eBay to do this for me at some rip-off price.
