QR codes for in post lockers

[decemberdebs]

Due to ebay changes where items need to be marked as received before we get paid, I decided to offer in post locker.

The process was not clear and only option was to print a label - I don't have a printer. I expected to be sent a QR code but Ebay doesn't seem to be set up that way. Any ideas?

In all the time I’ve sent something with InPost I’ve always had to print a label.

I know you can get labels printed in some store drop offs using a QR code, but not the lockers.

As how would the courier know where it’s got to go when it comes out of the locker?

I think you’ll just need to find a way to print the label. Local library??

I was advised you could get a QR code to be scanned to that was wrong advice!

I am thinking of going back to Royal Mail option but need to understand how the customer will be able to mark item as receiSed as they don't do that now?

I can see its been delivered when I insert tracking details.

Thanks for your advice. Super helpful.

Depends what service you use with Royal Mail. We use Tracked 48 which certainly gets a delivery confirmation. As does Royal Mail 48 most of the time.

in eBay’s new rules for private sellers if an order isn’t tracked as delivered I believe payment is released after 14 days from the estimated delivery date?

Buyer's can't mark as received, not now or in the future.

This is ridiculous! I offered In-post locker as an option and now it says I can't use the QR code and have to print a label.  I offered evri to someone else, turns out the buyer is in NI so it cost nearly £6 to send a £5 item. I can see why Vinted is outperforming eBay by a long shot.  Gonna ship these 2 items, and just stick with Vinted and Depop for ease and transparency
