Unfortunately I doubt much comes of all this, I can't see eBay reversing course anytime soon. Anyway my 184 listings have been ended.
As I say it's a big shame, eBay as a platform has been a massive help to me in firstly building my music collection, and then minimising it, over the 25 years I've been a member, and in getting some helpful money for selling other stuff lying around unused. Since December, when I started a big push to minimise my belongings, I managed to sell on 119 listings, and had some great chats with people in the UK and further abroad about their purchases and the music passions we share, and not one of them had an item lost in the post.
Sad day, maybe at some point I'll figure out simple delivery and try to push on further, but right now I'm too soured on the platform to keep going.
