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.

It’s too late to reverse course as they have already sorted out RM and Hermes sorry Evri contracts (why did they rebrand again…?)

so I guess they will just “wing it”.

well one of my comments is changed but hey whatever.  They say the truth hurts!

[sebastian4ever]

Do not mention the V word or trains!

[kath3735_wxmjn]

and it will be getting worse soon.  Shame because i have enjoyed my selling on here but all good things come to an end.

[futuregolden]

I don't need this hassle.  Do I really want to deal with EVRI ever?  And have to put up with the sham Buyer Protection any longer?  No, I don't, so I'll pull all my listings late on the 6th.  They should have just charged us 10% for every sale rather than all these over-complicated and misnamed scams.  

[kath3735_wxmjn]

the only positive i want to hear is that i can post my packages how i want to and with whom i want to.   Anything else is irrelevant.

[kath3735_wxmjn]

seems to be a common complaint going around at the moment.  I just got amended!!   Never mind, oh dear, how sad, what a pity.....

China springs to mind 

[trainsairplanesandautomobiles]

Absolutely !  Ebay have a decade and more long history of failing to correctly address competition.All they can think of to stem a lowering market share is to increase the cost of using their platform.They seem not to have noticed doing that lowers their market share even more.All they have achieved by this is to make themselves the most expensive online effort.

Hoping I am wrong,but would guess,if enough private guys and girls sack them,all they will do is increase the business seller rates.So much for all these business sellers complaining the private people get away with it cheap,because for sure you're next....

That CEO ,what's his name,Jamie ? for sure won't want to lose his £13 million a year salary until he's screwed everyone he can,lies and deceit are appear a given acceptable way for him to do business.

Am going to have a go at Ebid.Nothing much to lose ,as,admittedly my items are a bit of a niche market,but since Feb,sales that were on the floor anyway,have gone through it now,so makes no difference.Can't be any worse,well,maybe it can,but being shot of ebays nonsense,lies,and insults will make up for it 🙂

"You’ll typically get your funds 2 days after delivery has been confirmed when you use our prepaid labels"

It's absolutely beyond belief that they are portraying this as a benefit when we previously used to get paid within 2 days after the buyer paid, not 2 days after the item was delivered.   It's yet more double-speak, and yet again taking us for fools that we might fall for this sleight of hand.  It makes me so angry.

 This is for simple delivery how are we supposed to know if the name address is right ...............If you experience any problems with a Simple Delivery label, the following tips may help:

• If the buyer's name or the first or second line of the buyer's address is incorrect, you can edit this information before you print your label
• If the buyer entered the wrong town or postcode, you can cancel the transaction and ask the buyer to repurchase the item with the correct address
• If your item isn't accepted by the carrier, check that your parcel meets the programme requirements, package limits and complies with the relevant policies. If it does, try another drop-off location, if possible
• Once the label is created you can reprint it if you need to, but you can only use a Simple Delivery label once

we don't have smart phones or printers in our  house  ebay have stuffed us ,my partner has been with ebay since 1998 and now we get treated like this . It has made things very hard for us .

[trainsairplanesandautomobiles]

Yes,but the only thing that works well within the fleabay establishment is the smoke and mirrors department.

The rest would fail to organise a p*ss up in a brewery.

As for the lending them money free of charge,jury seems to be out over whether or not that is illegal.

Buy ebay  won't care if it is or not.

I sold an item a couple of weeks ago,the money was available in my balance within an hour of the customer paying.I hadn't even wrapped it lol.

This Wednesday,two of my items were delivered on that same day.One payment was available instantly,the other I have to wait two days...

They seem unable even to scam us with efficiency.

In the good old days,you had to go to Nigeria for their level of customer service.....

Ebay are considering merging with etsy this article came out today  ......, analysts at Piper Sandler recently theorized about a potential merger between online auction platform eBay  (ebay)  and another prominent e-commerce company, Etsy, which has been navigating a challenging period.

Lol

This is so monumentally  badly thought out ,   did some AI bot approve it whilst the "management" team were out at lunch. 

The only thing simple about simple delivery are the simpletons who think this will work .    If Ebay want simple delivery to work then Ebay need to understand that they have to assume responsibility when it doesn't and not just expect sellers to verify the details that they Ebay have supplied them and fix other failings  .  If anyone does have to correct Ebay supplied details they should be a charge back to Ebay . 

The only answer for any seller is to stop selling until Ebay get their act together and dump this brain dead policy  . Hence this post in the 1st place. 

Please everyone on this post email eve.williams@ebay.com in the vain hope she might understand what a can of worms this really is . The buck stops with her on this one.

[sunflowers4me59]

I have emailed her twice now, she just passes my emails onto an underling to deal with.
