eBay

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 have several magazines listed which typically sell for £1 and have always charged £1.75 for Royal Mail large letter, envelope etc. Now eBay is forcing me to charge buyers £2.87 to receive a £1 magazine and there's nothing I can do about it.

What's simple about that?

Hi I listed a couple of items yesterday and the options for all postage
were there again . Does this mean they have actually listened to the
sellers about stupid simple delivery ?

A warning - EBAY seem to be retrospectively changin listings to SD
without telling us. I had a box set of books priced for Seller Pays
Medium Parcel

They changed it to SD Small parcel

What is simple about that, is that ebay spends about £1.60 on the postage
and the rest is profit for ebay, but a lot of buyers will think its going
to you!

Yes, I have had that, if you make any changes to your listing, or even open
it using the phone app, a quick message will pop up about changes to postal
options and, hey presto, its on simple delivery

There are ways to avoid stupid delivery as some listing categories for
low value items are not infected by SD

Magazines are - but if they are listed as BOOKS, LARGE LETTER, and cost
£20 or less you get back the option of selecting PACKLINK

There are other categories that this applies to as well, such as stamps,
postcards as similar small thin items.

It would be helpful if there was a Reddit post, or similar listing all
current EBAY categories that are not SD infected

Last week I understand the programmers reversed the simple delivery and custom postage option buttons and then realised their mistake and corrected it.
