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.

I'm suspending my remaining listings on the 6th but going to wait a few weeks to see how things pan out before making a definite final decision.

This is from Kat at ebay on another thread.

I'm thinking of trying others out. After all after the 6th I've nothing to lose for a little while and if another option works out then that's a bonus.
01-04-2025 8:54 PM
Your definitely right there. Oh and don't forget wanting total control.
01-04-2025 8:56 PM
I absolutely agree regarding Simple Delivery. It's just yet another ploy to gain more control over private sellers.

There was chat about bots earlier.
Someone recommended opting out of AI learning in settings.

If ebay think they'll gain many more users from vin ted it won't be long before they'll go back.

I don't blame you. I've only 4 live listings which I'm suspending on the 6th then I'll seriously check out some other platforms.

I have sold items and been happy with my dispatched times and delivery method. Any money made was given to charity minus postage costs (which I considered fair) but sadly I am now going to stop selling before the 7th. The lack of choice bugs me. Just too much unnecessary red tape. Perhaps eBay might get the message when sellers vote with their feet. It used to be easy and enjoyable now it's a nightmare.

I am sorry about the emails you received. I honestly didn't think this thread would take off like it has done since yesterday.

I used RM Click and collect as I can't get to a post office. It has been a wonderful service. I carefully weigh and measure everything I send - cant understand how eBay can judge that? They are usually way off with suggested values so I dread to think how they'll be with postage.

I'm sure they'll love that. I can't believe they thought this mess wouldn't do the rounds.
01-04-2025 9:16 PM
I can't trust or believe ebay nowadays and definitely won't trust them regarding Simple Delivery.
01-04-2025 9:21 PM
I'm sure they expected a backlash regarding this but hopefully the backlash will be a lot more than they anticipated.
01-04-2025 9:27 PM
It might take ages for that they are rolling it out maybe over weeks or months, i wouldn't believe a word she says. Like the invoicing being fixed that never happened
01-04-2025 9:30 PM
Hopefully they are becoming under pressure due to a bigger backlash than they were expecting.
01-04-2025 9:33 PM
Unfortunately, the only things that appear to be getting 'fixed' are the privateers....
Whatever happened listening to what you have to say to improve the experience? More lies

You’re also allowed to negate it if your item is larger than a medium parcel or heavier than 20kg
also negate it if your items are restricted by either Royal Mail or evri
(from customer agent chat)
also negate it if it’s priced at more than 750£

Very true. They might listen but didn't do anything. I think the absolute worst lie is them saying the last few changes and amendments would benefit sellers and buyers.
