Ok so this is a less ranty post
Since eBay is going to be making us use this, what is peoples experience like of it? Do they take full control of it if there is any issues with shipping, in transit or lost or stolen? How much is Simple Delivery insured for? Have people shipped expensive tech, like laptops, phones, graphics cards etc and they have been fine? The reason i ask this is becasue i sold my gfx card last night but because the buyer selected basic post I was uncomfortable using it, i messaged the buyer and he was absolutely fine with cancelling it and i will be relisting it for him when he gets his refund and he will select special delivery This seems to be the only way around it, my thought is that eBay has got into contracts with RM and EVRI and cant get out of them even if they wanted to.
I think its a good system but its flawed, the size problem for instance, but i do also think that people who sold on ebay for years and have decent seller rating or no postage defects or postage problems should be able to use custom delivery. Or they need to add more couriers to SD, things like ups, dpd maybe, and add an express option, and they absolutely have to do something about items over 61cm because at this moment in time you cant ship them as they are too big and there is no custom option, Just my 2 cents.
