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.

Your one of the lucky ones by having your own site. But I'm still enjoying looking through all the other options as well as keeping a eye on what happens here.

Very well put plus Les Mis is really enjoyable.

And I typed in( Evri parcels ) into the ebay search bar and I found someone is selling ,evri & ebay parcels that were never delivered !!!! You pay the seller X amount and they send you what they think is that value in goods .Surely this is the same as mystery parcels ,I am surprised Ebay allow it as they are always telling us we can't sell this and we can't sell that ,and how has 1 person got so many undelivered parcels .

I guess as that grows because of people migrating it might well be like it was here.
11-04-2025 2:55 PM
They'll most probably be more interested in what's going on here than they are closer to home.

That is actually quite a scary scenario. Things like that were never heard of regarding RM.

Can I suggest you check the postage preferences in your account settings. When I tried getting Evri as the way I wanted to send, I got it the wrong way round and excluded Evri leaving Royal Mail as my only option, the complete opposite of what I intended - my family called it a silly old duffer moment, Ebay should have been clearer but it was my fault.

Dear oh dear. That doesn't look great. Oh I loved the mention of label fairy 😂.

I've occasionally seen sellers with unopened RM parcels at car boot sales at rates like 3 for a tenner.
No idea if RM didn't deliver them or if someone stole them before the buyer got home.
Kinda like a grown up lucky dip, tempting, but wouldn't want to be potentially supporting crime.

Well E b I d is very easy to setup and start listing on!
if anybody needs bare rooted spruce, yew or western red cedar have a search.
cheers

I found this post because "Simple Delivery" did not work to post an item to Jersey.
I used RM's website and of course it worked fine.
Now, though, I cannot add tracking to the order
They really defecated in the bed here.

I double checked earlier but it's definitely set up correctly.
11-04-2025 4:02 PM
Yup. If it smells and looks like s==t then it needs to be changed.

No problem for me I'm not going to post collection in person how long before eBay that option The staff who come with these new platforms do they operate in the UK dont believe they use our Postal System
11-04-2025 4:14 PM
Can you search sold items on that site? I had a quick look but couldn't see it and didn't want to sign up to find out.
11-04-2025 4:18 PM
To introduce Simple Delivery with only a few days notice is quite ingenious as a private seller ebay are giving me and thousands of others in the same boat the bums rush just disastrous
11-04-2025 4:22 PM
I'm guessing it could only be a bad employee or some people's safe place isn't as safe as they think. But I'm guessing you'll see more items from other couriers.
11-04-2025 4:25 PM
It does make me wonder if they can keep up with the changes.
