Simple Delivery

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

Re: Simple Delivery

In theory you can turn evri off and just post with Royal Mail.

Re: Simple Delivery

Calm down

your original post is two posts behind this one no 558 

 

I saw you were saying earlier I thread you have no printer or smartphone 

You can now    book a royal mail collection and bring a label service directly from the eBay page when you get your simple delivery label

Re: Simple Delivery

I've found if your item listing price is lower than £10 you are still able to see the custom postage options.

Re: Simple Delivery

I don't understand why eBay isn't listening.

Re: Simple Delivery

Me too - July 01st must have been the cut off date for a seller to have any control over their own dispatch...have never had to use SD before and absolutely dreading listing items from now on!

Why are eBay shooting themselves in the foot with SD and even worse the 4%+ surcharge. They should be beating the competition not copying them.

Re: Simple Delivery

It would appear that it is the eBay business model is to gain market dominance by eliminating [or at least reducing the effectiveness of] competition through whatever means possible.  Once this is achieved, maximise profits by increasing fees.  I have little doubt that the arrangement which they have come to with the Royal Mail and Evri, is one which is profitable to eBay - i.e. they are taking a cut.

Re: Simple Delivery

Oh, they are listening but they really don't care because the whole idea is to squeeze the people who put them where they are now in a no win situation which ultimately forces them to cancel their membership or force them into becoming a Business member as opposed to a Private member.
They then make much more money and get rid of the Private members who as has been made obvious by their current forced actions made it almost impossible for the small member to operate in the most unusable postage system and at the same time forcing both buyer and seller to pay more for their goods. It benefits nobody but Ebay
So let's sit back and watch Ebay become Amazon 2 while Vinted for example are catching up EBAY for membership and sales.
I am sure Ebay have forgotten their roots and have become a big company that is no longer listening to their customers, instead dictating to them on how they are going to do things without any consultation.
I for one have managed to work around their changes over the last few years but I am afraid "Simple Delivery", which is anything but simple is the straw that breaks the Camel's back and I can no longer make selling on EBAY a sensible or workable choice.
I have been a member of EBAY for many years, I have nearly 6000 transactions behind me and have 100% positive feedback so the customers have been quite happy with my service over the past 20 years using my choice of postage of items packed by myself with my own labels and in the process Ebay had had a good share of that so be happy with that, scrap the stupid "Simple Delivery"
And let the seller decide on the best way to keep their customers happy. You should not be dictating to them how to package and post their items.
It is not too late, but if you don't just watch the membership drop, it has already started.

Re: Simple Delivery

Interesting that you mention Vinted.  I recently had a login issue and their customer service replied extremely quickly, passing the issue to their technical people. The problem was resolved the next day.  Try getting the same response from eBay!

Re: Simple Delivery

Simple delivery is literally the pits! It is far from Simple and today the custom postage option has gone completely. 

 

I've been buying & selling on ebay since 1999 and that is all about to come to an end. They have ruined what was once a great place with their desire to be a dictator.

 

Thank you eBay but goodbye.
