First time having someone request a refund…dodgy?
Hi, I sold our Dual Fuel Rangemaster oven today. It was collected by the purchaser this morning. The purchaser has, this evening, requested a refund claiming that the item isn’t as described. The purchaser wanted the ovens to be electric, but one is ...
'Simple Delivery' failed, now a test case - worried
Private Seller here, I sold a gold sovereign for £590 on ebay and was forced to use "Simple Delivery" as you all know. Both ebay and RM tracking show it as delivered, RM say they left it in a safe place and uploaded a photo. Seller says package has g...
Simple Delivery - no way to opt out for small low value items.
Just to add & clarify some of the various posts on the lack of an opt out on the Simple Delivery for low value items under £10 & 100g. As of Friday there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to avoid the Simple Delivery.I've tried a range of methods - ...
How do you list Only 1 Item with Evri?
So I use mostly Royal Mail large letter or small parcel. For anything bigger I use Evri. I tried to relist an item this morning using Evri but when I clicked on the option for Evri it stated 'every other Simple Delivery listing will be changed to Evr...
A Clean Sweep (almost).
Today at 09.00 every thread on P.1 of the SC board was a complaint about Straightjacket Delivery. (OK there were a couple about selling restrictions, both from the same author) I think this continuing anger and the increasing number of private seller...

eBay's rip off new buyer protection fees and delayed payment for sellers
I first posted on this last night and received dozens (possibly more than 100 in less than 24 hours) of emails and posts on seller centre and eBay community sharing my objection to eBay's new rip off Buyer Protection fees and delayed payment for sell...
Is the US not avaiable as a GSP address when posting from the UK?
I have a buyer in the US who wants to buy my item which I'm posting via GSP. He says there is no option to purchase. I've previously had US buyers via GSP. I've checked all my options and the US doesn't appear to be excluded my me. I've hunted on-lin...

Policy violation on my listing
Hi all, Ive had one of my listings removed as eBay states it is a policy violation. It was a bottle of collectable vintage perfume, 1980s 3/4 full. Ive seen many other similar listings so why has mine been removed ? Ive sold preowned perfume before w...
Not so 'Simple Delivery'
It would appear that eBay 'Simple Delivery' announced with great fanfare by eBay over the preceding weeks, is not actually effective for ALL private seller listings as of 15/4/25. I just had a chat with eBay Support whom advise new listings will be '...
Why cant we change the size of items on Simply Delivery?
The complete untested or sandboxing shambles of "Simply Delivery" continue...... I've watched YouTube videos, and it appears eBay has remove the "custom set sizing" option for packages. So all you can do is increase the weight if it gets the size wro...
Weird benefit of Simple Delivery?
Before I start, I will just say I do NOT approve of SD being mandatory. But like everyone else, I've now been enrolled and it's stay or leave. I sold my first SD item last week. Yesterday, tracking showed as still Dispatched status (no surprise there...
Are eBay's max parcel sizes correct? Info contradictory
Are the stringent Stupid Delivery instructions actually correct on parcel size? Max length is given at around 60cm & I am aware (as will be anyone who used EVRI before) that is about half of EVRI's general max length which is 120cm. Like so many othe...
24 Years and This is No Longer Viable
Just a rant here. 24 years selling on ebay and 2024 has made me ready to pack it in. Fees - crippling. Unless I find it on the floor, buying and selling is now impossible to make any sort of profit. Ebay and couriers make more per sale than me. Buyer...
