Royal Mail 2nd-Class Letter – what’s changing and what isn’t
Royal Mail now has Ofcom’s approval to deliver 2nd Class Letters on alternate weekdays and will remove Saturday deliveries. However, Royal Mail has not set a go-live date, meaning as it stands currently your delivery estimates and seller metrics will...
Dear Eve
It would be good to see everyone else's "Dear Eve" letters here. I can't post the email addresses, but just ask copilot. Feel free to copy mine, post the one you have already written. Even if you are just quitting the platform, don't tell us on the f...
Printing multiple labels with Simple Delivery
This week is the first time I've sold more than one item using Simple Delivery and I had to print each one separately, clicking through a few screens to get the label for each item. Is there a way to select multiple items and print so you have multip...
Should requiring payment method trigger an automatic payment on auctions?
I have this setting enabled in buyer rules'Require buyers to provide a payment method before they place a bid'(here https://www.ebay.co.uk/bmgt/buyerrequirements) My understanding was that should trigger an automatic payment 3 days after the end of a...
6th August
So 6th August is when everything is supposed to switch to Simple Delivery, even existing listings. Not sure how that will work because I don't have dimensions or weights listed for any of my items. It will also be the day I take down my listings if i...
Sealed vinyl arrived in Australia warped and unplayable - best way of issuing refund?
I sold a sealed 12" vinyl record sent through the Global Shipping hub which arrived in Australia 10 days after being posted. Unfortunately, there is a bad warp which means that for the first few minutes of each side, there is skipping - in essence, t...
Wrongly removed listing
I have had a listing removed from eBay and surprisingly lost the appeal. I sell football programmes that were issued online but we turn them into a printed item for programme collectors. We have been doing this for about 3 years on eBay but today I g...
NO LONGER SELLING DUE TO SIMPLE DELIVERY
AS OF 15TH APRIL MY DAYS AS A PRIVATE EBAY SELLER WILL STOP AFTER 19 YEARS.I AM FED UP OF THE GREED OF EBAY AND I HOPE OTHER EBAY SELLERS DECIDE TO NO LONGER LET THE EBAY CONTROL FREAKS HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL OVER PRIVATE SELLERS.
Ebay just rip u off when it's their fault
Really annoyed about this. Customer opened an INAD request. It said "the customer will return this to you by the 22nd" so obv i'm waiting for the return as requested. With all the fees and promo fees, the £27.99 is eaten up so all I owe is £11 refund...
23-Year eBay Seller Leaving Over Simple Delivery Policy
I've been using eBay as a private seller for over 23 years. This new Simple Delivery policy is the final straw. It strips away the flexibility and control we've always had, forces us to use services that often don't work for our area, and ties up pay...
Frustrating "indexing" yet again for a 3 day auction
I often like to list things for either a 1 day auction or a 3 day auction. However I have increasingly noticed when I create a new listing, there's a considerable delay before the listing is live and appearing in search results. I know this is appare...
EBay Policy Violation: counterfeit item policy
I get so frustrated with eBay these days as there is nobody to talk to on the phone, although, from past experience, customer service is not much use anyway.I have had a listing suspended due to an apparent policy violation of the counterfeit items p...
Simple postage and unable to choose your own courier
THAT'S ME GONE, EBAY LOSE ANOTHER CUSTOMER. I CANNOT BE BOTHERED WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM OF SELECTING POSTAGE, IT IS FAR FROM SIMPLE. I HAVE BEEN WITH EBAY FOR WELL OVER 20 YEARS AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TIME TO SELL ELSEWHERE
Resolved! Simple Delivery
Is Simple Delivery mandatory now ? used to be able to select custom postage option but it’s not available now. Just tried listing and Simple Delivery is the only option for postage
Buyer Protection Fee Woes
I see the Buyer Protection Fee has been added to our items for sale (not for the toys category yet). I know that if someone opens a not-received case for an item and then rings Ebay, that Ebay will often refund them out of their own pocket. Thus enco...
Problems again with eBay/Pitney Bowes tracking not updating when GSP item has been delivered
I have a few GSP items I sold last month that have no update since July 30 re tracking - even clicking on the tracking number which takes you to Pitney Bowes' website for tracking shows no update, but I just got feedback from a buyer who received one...
