I sold 2 items recently, 2 ps5 games, used simple delivery, royal mail lost both items, all i got for compensation was 8 first class stamps and a £12 cheque.
Now i sell my old tech, I build PCs for myself, I sell the old parts to upgrade to the new ones, I refuse to use basic post that is not insured to the value of the item, I have been on eBay for 15 years check my feedback, I have never had an issue with using custom delivery and i do not think it is fair that eBay gets to dictate how items are shipped. You only have to look at these forums to see how many people have been scammed or messed about with items sent with simple delivery.
The system is a good idea but the idea needs refining, any company that thinks EVRI is a suitable delivery company tells you all you need to know. At the end of the day its all about control and they spin it as oh its helping you, no its not its helping them. Buyers should have the option to post how they want the safest option, i use couriers and special delivery because the items are insured, Tracked 48 is only insured up to £150 , why would i use that to post an item that is valued at 4x that? its stupid.
Then you have the scammers who will abuse it, say oh deliver it to a safe space and then bam case opened it has not arrived again that is all over these forums, and we end up out of pocket because eBay sides with the buyer most of the time.
Yes im angry but it is the way of the world, they want to control everything, let the sellers decide its as simple as that, my guess is they done this because people have been moaning about postage costs. They need to add express as an option then it might work, I wont sell on here until they do and lets be honest a lot of people feel the same way. Another thing they could do is let you decide who you sell to based on what postage the buyer selects, its a flawed system is all im saying.
