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.

@dunstun365 but they’ll pay it on V**ted, because the total cost, including BPF, is transparent, they have a wide choice of couriers, and its easy!

I'm out as well. What with "buyer protection" costs added to auction items and now the simple delivery con it's all too much. My sale items seem to be hanging around longer I suspect due to buyers knowing how much they're getting stitched with extra costs. It's a shame ebid are so terrible!

Is anyone tech savvy enough to run a program on this thread to see how many users have said they are not selling anymore? I got so far and it told me i couldn't use Python and my brain had no further capacity to start again with a different program.

It would be interesting to know without duplicates.

An Ebay "subscriber" I have bought and sold for 22 years. Today, attempting to list a traditional wooden trike bought for our son 46 years ago, used recently by his son as "Daddy's bike" our grandson is now 5. Attempting to list the trike,on completion of the details, I got ..."You aren't eligible to list toys for babies"....

Apparently, eligibility comes after 1,000 sales in the previous 12 months and/or £1,000 of purchases in that period, plus a business account. Fortunately, there are other platforms.

@daedulous These seem to be the places for them

in Collectables > Transportation Collectables > Bicycle

in Toys & Games > Vintage & Classic Toys

Same, due to the forced fraudulent nature of the posted options . . . the first listing where I sold an item where eNBay automatically changed my listing, I cancelled the order.

The postage is and am absolute sham

No wonder everyone's moving to Vinted. I'#ve been a seller since 2003 and I just sold something only to find out I have no choice in how it's shipped. Worst of all, it says to drop it off but doesn't tell me where or to whom??? What a waste of my time. I'm transferring all my listings to Vinted.
