Simple Delivery

[colcoo-616]

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 

[edwardian-dreams]

No its not

they should ave thought of this before rolling it all out and causing distress for many 

incompetence or negligence

We are all leaving as soon as we’ve had OUR money given to us from the greedy dictators, so that’s the weekend for me. Remove all your listings (done mine already) at the weekend so you don’t end up selling something for underpaid postage as this is also being changed now and NOT 7th April as they claim- more lies. Don’t forget to add weight with all the other complaints by writing to the CMA as it’s illegal to ban competition between businesses (couriers in this case) and be told how we have to send our belongings to someone. Simple online form to complete and once this is done, and you have any money owed, then close your account.

Don’t believe a word of it as everything they say is lies, such as telling us and many other members over a week ago that they were “very sorry about the glitch in the system that has caused custom postage to be removed and only show (not so) simple delivery option. This isn’t what we want for our customers and we would be very upset if it happened to us. We have got the tech department working on this quickly.” Blah, blah, blah of total lies. Special place in Hell for liars.
Delete your listings now as their postage is now the only way despite them saying it’s 7th as it’s being changed right now when a sale is made and you will lose out. Please join the leavers party and write to the CMA about lack of options for postage so it’s all in their favour.
Liars, thieves and scum.

"They’re so sloppy in their rush to get this system out that table doesn’t even differentiate between second and first class….they just put 4.27 for which service????"

I don't know whether it's sloppy, deliberate or sheer incompetence, but the table has the weight bands overlapping.  So for example, for Royal Mail only, the table says:

2-10kg  £7.27

10-15kg  £12.34

So what if the parcel is exactly 10kg, which band would it fall into?  It should say like Royal Mail say - "up to" 10kg.  Let's see if they change it, but it shouldn't be left to customers to spot this lack of attention to detail.

Definitely not written by a Royal Mail employee or any competent clerk admin person with  half a brain cell 

Shoddy but expensive 

and they want ebay to be a high end luxury site

try high end management of the daily business, that would be a good start

What about when RM increased prices on the 7th as well? Has this been considered? If course not as it would blow the eBay robot brain (oh no they haven’t got a brain which is why they are getting so many people delete their accounts!)
I always posted my expensive bear collection as special delivery as this was the ONLY postal service that paid correct compensation, was Fully Tracked on whole journey and arrived next day. For this service the cost was £9.35 up to 2kg and £10.35 for heavier. What do you get for their prices? Absolutely nothing as Evri and RM tracked (which isn’t!) don’t pay for this!!
I don’t see any compensation or full tracking involved in any of their choices and don’t believe a word they say as it’s all lies.
Write to CMA as they won’t like the fact that courier competition has been eradicated, delete your account and run away fast before they can lie and cheat you any more.

I listed an item last week and wanted to charge the buyer £348 total (thought it would be nice as that was what was on the item’s price tag), and use ‘bring my label’ - so I listed at £334.58 with the bpf coming in at £13.42 and used advanced custom postage to offer ‘free’ RM special delivery bought from my click and drop so it can go on Monday morning instead of next Friday afternoon which is the earliest I’d be able to go out and use a QR code. 

Kerching. Tonight I ‘made the sale’! My last one on eBay ☹️, as my last two listings have now been ended never to return. 

My pending funds show £334.58 ‘awaiting delivery’. So far so good. 

HOWEVER: 

In ‘my payments’ the order shows as 

Item total £348.00
Net earnings £334.58

Buyer protection fee -£13.42

Transaction fees £0.00

Postage £0.00

Balance £357.47

No entry for postage but I have not been sent an SD label and the order page wants me to purchase the ‘buyer selected’ Special Delivery label from ebay which I will not be doing. I’ll buy from RM online and add my tracking as normal on Monday when its collected. 

So….Where did that extra £9.47 come from?
