what difference does it make in the end because nearly everyone commenting on here is a private seller and more than likely a buyer. The problem is that the new system might be fine for buyers but is total rubbish for many of us private sellers. Making my life simpler it does not do. I list my item and put the postage method and price on, wow how difficult is that! I sell said item and take it to PO, have friendly banter with staff as i hand over my pennies and then go home! Simples - as someone famous said. I do not want or need E Bay getting involved in that process. The staff always check on the size and if i have over estimated i refund the buyer and if under i take the loss, does not happen often as its normally pretty easy to work out.
Don't get me wrong, I am neutral about the BPF, but I am as anti SD as pretty much everyone else. Apart from the possible advantage to buyers of potentially being able to select from two delivery speeds, I can see nothing in it that makes it a good idea, and certainly nothing positive for sellers.
My point is that many of the loudest complainers (and now it seems, Youtubers), are not private sellers even though they have an ebay private account. Making a fuss in public about something that you should not even be affected by, seems to me to be more than a little foolish.
Edit, just thought of one for sellers, if a parcel goes missing in transit they don't have to refund and then claim from the carrier, big deal.
