NO LONGER SELLING DUE TO SIMPLE DELIVERY

[rugbyguy1960]

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.

Hi, I noticed this morning that on a desk top, don't know about the app, if you go to Customer services, search for simple delivery and then click the link that shows you the opt out list, you can then tell them about your dissatisfaction by clicking "Thumbs Down" and the 4th option is "I don't agree with ebays policy"

Got to be worth a few clicks

Oopsy!  Had to edit my post as at first those options below the 2 thumbs up / down was not appearing, and I mistakenly thought it was removed.

One has to first click on the thumbs down,  and then the options appear,  and yes there is the option ' I don't agree with eBay policy' to select !

Go to Help & Contact tab top left of your homepage.

Type in Simple Delivery into the box....  ' How can We Help You'.

Do not click on the blue search icon on the right,  but just below,  click on Suggested Articles >>  Simple Delivery.

Scroll to the very bottom,  click on the down thumb,  and the other options appear.

The above is when using a laptop / PC I don't use the app no idea if this is available on that device,  or  on a mobile browser.

FB left with a list of things I disagree with re.  SD .

Including, but not limited to:

ebay profiteering

ebay restricting options for private sellers and buyers

ebay's anti-social cash grab from post office income leading to more closures.

Thanks for the link !

Of course I agree with the rest, but I can't blame ebay for 'profiteering'.  The business is owned by investors, they want profit.  It's what business is about.

Have you looked at Thames Water lately?

Smart businesses look at the long term, how to build a relationship with customers, how to genuinely cultivate a win-win situation.  But it's not unusual for businesses to ignore that, especially in the USA, where quarterly reporting creates a very narrow focus.

I have started listing on the other E site, slowly i admit (only 12 so far)  Took me a while to get the basics into my old head and to manage the photographs but i am getting there.  True it is a limited market place but then again two weeks ago i was selling at our local car boot and it was pretty busy, sales were awful, last week not so many sellers there and i did really well.  Sometimes small can be better.  Only downside is that i have to wait for the 21 days to get the money but that is just like e bay now and i am not in a rush.  Also use paypal on it so can keep my money separate from my current account.  Made one sale so far, time will tell.  E Bay has been like an old shoe though, comfortable with the occasional stupid update but they went too far with SD.

I often wonder if they actually use the site themselves!

Totally agree. No more listings until eBay revert.

thank you Tressy, followed your instructions and as per usual you got it 100%.  Probably will be just a waste of a few minutes as e bay never take any notice of opinions but i have tried.  must get back to putting on my listings now on the new site!
