Royal Mail tracking
Most tracking services are very good but not Royal Mail. When checking the tracking for Royal Mail for goods supplied by an e bay seller the Royal Mail site says the tracking will be updated when they try to deliver. Now that is not much good if you ...

I am trying to list a load of Lego parts where the individual item price is less than 99p as I believe in a fair price.How can this be done? Can you also do a blanket postage price, e.g. if you buy 20 items it's still the same delivery price, or will...
SD label show incorrect postage. No guidance from Ebay!!
I've have just sold an item via GSP. It weighs 7.5 Kilos but the Prepaid label is only for £2.72 when the actual cost should be over £7.00. I can find no clear and concise instructions from Ebay regarding what to do so I have to come here to ask for ...
Simple Delivery Address Labels
I'm sure most eBay sellers will have had sales to buyers addresses containing some errors that require googling to make sense of the address, or sometimes require contacting the buyer for address clarity. In the good old days before the so called awf...
Where you REALLY stand on shipping using Simple Delivery including links to sources......

Simple delivery is awful
I list a few things on ebay occasionally, but this new simple delivery is just rubbish for sellers. It assumes that ebay actually know the size and weight of items And that everyone can easily get to Evri or other courier services easily. Why did the...

Ebay Scam
I'd like to share a scam that happened to me, which I believe eBay employees are involved in. I sold an item on eBay and then the buyer risesd a dispute directly with his bank without returning the item. Of course the dispute was found in the buyer's...
Resolved! Simply delivery
Simple Delivery on eBay is absolutely terrible. It severely limits sellers and doesn’t even include all the couriers I used before. Honestly, it feels like a disaster — I don’t know who came up with this system, but it looks like something pushed by ...
EBay changing my listings from ‘collection only’ to ‘postage’ sneakily
Hi alli have a few larger items I’m selling, like a set of 4 chairs, a junior bed, large wooden storage box, etc.. Anyway, I listed these items as collection only with no probs. Few items like the fridge, washing machine, etc have gone already. Howev...
Thoughts on the HMRC and National Insurance Number issue
I'm no longer selling due to Simple Delivery and I am sure that that will affect eBay's revenue from private sellers as well as have a knock-on effect from people buying less due to having less to spend. I should just forget it but the whole thing is...
