well i do not think it is okay for small parcels. Most of my stuff was small parcel which i was happy to take into the post office and pay for myself. I never send tracked unless a larger value item which are rare for me and the certificate of posting tracking number has worked well. Never had a parcel go missing or arrive damaged yet through RM (that is as both a seller and buyer)

they changed me to SD last week but i have still managed to get my own postage on. Not sure how long that will last this time, just put a few items back on. I like experimenting now, even for the entertainment value.... Got past the frustration, anger, annoyance and just accepting what is and am now on another site although i am having a problem with trying to list with photographs but my intelligence younger relative is going to sort it out for me.. I hate technology!

Looks like ebay have made simple delivery mandatory now. Not good. I have clicked on the get postage label for my current item, my preferred courier Yodel cost now comes up at £6.19 whatever the parcel weight and size. Royal mail cost is 3.44, evri 2.94; i could have posted this large letter for 1.77 a few months ago but now need to guarantee delivery confirmation so tracking required. What is going on at ebay?

I wonder what ebays criteria is that makes evri and royal mail their preferred couriers. I like others but simple delivery has made them prohibitively expensive

To the OP.
I'm sorry but they just don't give a sh-1-t about you or the rest of us.
Just had a message today where they're trying to make out that they're listening to us by offering some new "simple delivery" pricing for smaller packages (or something)...?
It's got to a point where i'm getting beyond understanding what the hell is going on here anymore - it was so simple up until some complete clown at ebay decided to stick their massive oar in & basically botch everything up for just about everybody on here.
Ebay - "IF" you were really listening you'd back down & put everything back the way it was.
I'd love to see your sales figures since Feb 4th.

Spot on with the "it's turning into an unattractive place to sell"...
It's also turned into a very unattractive place to buy.
How can you get things SO badly wrong ebay..?
