Royal Mail 2nd-Class Letter – what’s changing and what isn’t
Royal Mail now has Ofcom’s approval to deliver 2nd Class Letters on alternate weekdays and will remove Saturday deliveries. However, Royal Mail has not set a go-live date, meaning as it stands currently your delivery estimates and seller metrics will...
Combine postage, simple delivery
I just sold 2 items to the same person, using simple delivery, postage has not been combined. I have checked my settings and there is no option to combine postage, not is there a way to combine postage on postage page either. Is there a way to combin...
eBay Is Dead
I am thinking eBay as a selling platform is dead since the seller protection was added ? I wonder if eBay have notice the decline in sellers since new rules started . In my 20 years of selling on eBay Ive never seen it like thisI have 20 watchers on ...
Simple delivery is awful
I list a few things on ebay occasionally, but this new simple delivery is just rubbish for sellers. It assumes that ebay actually know the size and weight of items And that everyone can easily get to Evri or other courier services easily. Why did the...

Hi everyone, I recently joined for like 1 month and I start selling as a private seller , and now eBay is asking me to provide national insurance number."New UK digital sales reporting legislation requires sellers with 30 or more sales, or who have s...
Ebays estimated delivery dates very misleading to buyers
I've seen countless posts on this already and I've already complained a few times but I want to make another post so they know the issue has not gone away! Its almost time for the Bank Holiday weekend and my orders being dispatched with Royal Mail 48...
Simple delivery glitch
Went to print off a label for a small parcel. It is not a small parcel label but standard delivery which is not the same. It cost large letter tracked amount and not small parcel tracked. I have been on the phone for thirty minutes trying to convince...
STILL no SD Outsize parcel option
I can't believe eBay STILL hasn't put the large size item option in Simple Delivery. It is unbelievable. The NATIONAL MAX DIMENSION FOR EVRI IS ONE METRE. Did eBay actually negotiate a contract exclusively for smaller parcels? I'm beginning to think ...

Is Simple Delivery mandatory now ? used to be able to select custom postage option but it’s not available now. Just tried listing and Simple Delivery is the only option for postage
24 Years and This is No Longer Viable
Just a rant here. 24 years selling on ebay and 2024 has made me ready to pack it in. Fees - crippling. Unless I find it on the floor, buying and selling is now impossible to make any sort of profit. Ebay and couriers make more per sale than me. Buyer...
eBay has lost its way.
I don't care what you say , try and defend them. But eBay has completely lost the plot . It's all about how they can make more and more money from us now. Which is ironic as no one seems to be able to sell anything on here anymore for any kind of a p...
swapped eBay labels
I sold 2 items and swapped the delivery addresses by mistake. eBay will not let me generate another labels. Can I use the saved QR code or printed label to sent them to the right addresses ?
Resolved! Simple Delivery more expensive for letters & large letters
With custom postage being rolled out and eventually the only option, I am a little confused and trying to clarify something please. If I am posting something of large letter size, less than 100 grams and low value - a DVD in it's case for example, I ...
Simple Delivery missing parcels
Hi, I recently sent some orders using eBay's Simple Delivery system with evri and all 4 have gone missing. Two of the buyers so far have put in a claim for a lost parcel with eBay which I assumes is the correct route to go down as they have buyers pr...
