Simple Delivery . It was simple , I wrote address on package and took it to the post office and would send tracked or signed for to avoid issues , simple . Now ebay have complicated it to the extent that I can no longer sell items . Member for 21 years but this is the final straw . Not big on technology , use a laptop for ebay and have never owned a mobile phone , so to simply post an item I would now have to go out and buy myself a printer for labels , mobile phone for QR codes and while I'm at it a measuring tape and scales for weight and dimensions to enter in listing .
Having read other comments it seems I am not the only one unhappy about this moronic decision to mess with the postage . Who in their right mind would want to use Evri ? Obviously ebay because it must be the cheapest .
I guess or hope there is going to be an exodus of private sellers from ebay this month when it becomes mandatory , that's ebay loss though as I feel the small private seller brings a variety of items to the site that you wont find with shops / business sellers .
I certainly wont be listing anything else if they are going to dictate how you post an item and I could not bring myself to use Evri anyway . At the moment if a seller uses Evri I wont make purchase , has to be Royal Mail . Also I avoid items with buyers protection on it . although if you are using Evri you would probably need it . Must cost ebay a few quid at the end of the year with Evri losses , items being stolen , lost or damaged ( probably why they introduced buyer protection to cover losses ).
I had to claim £120 back after Evri made one attempted delivery then person noticed value on custom sticker and stole it , item sent via ebay global shipping from the states .
This site has been going downhill for some years now anyway , next thing they will want you to buy packaging with their logo on it to post items in !
