Simple delivery is awful

[jezzagold]

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 they have to stop the seller from deciding how to post items? Put me right off bothering to use Ebay.

I've been there - offer of a role that was exactly the same but paid less, or take statutory redundancy.

Taking redundancy was the best choice I'd made in a decade.

Tbh I think most of you are stuck in your ways.

I started selling on eBay a year or so ago. Never once measured or weighed a box, only ever used the QR codes and have only had one instance where I had to re list and let the seller know to rebuy ( perhaps Ebay should let us change or update the label / parcel size? Maybe they do now?) 

Getting a QR code and having it scanned is simple, easy and convenient. Most people do not have access to a printer..  I believe you lot kept your printers from the year 2000 because you are eBay sellers.. lol 😂

Touch wood I will have no problems lmao 🤣

I am quite happy with my old b&w laserjet printer. Ive been here over 20 years and had 2 of such printers, both bought re-conditioned . Its a good work horse. I don’t do QR codes or apps or much of anything with my phone. My phone is a phone. I either can’t read the screen or drop the darned thing when I try to use it for things other than a phone.

 I drop my items in a post box or have a collection. I haven’t been to a post office since 2020 despite mailing orders most week days. My printer has been used for degree assignments (both mine and my eldest son’s - I proof read his). Its been used for packing slips, address labels, tracked postage labels and labels for my jam making. Nothing wrong in having a printer.

Nothing simple about it, scrolling through phone for which QR code goes to which item, what shop I’ve got mess about going too, can’t wait in all day for postman to turn up to collect.

then there’s the cost I’ve gone from £1.55 - £2 to simply garbage delivery’s default £2.72 with pointless unnecessary tracking. I’d have to lose every other item for this to benefit me. So I’ve had to drastically reduce prices to accommodate it, a £3 comic I have to knock off practically half the value to sell it.

Simple delivery needs to be optional.
