eBay as confused as us about Simple Delivery?
eBay help says this about Simple Delivery postage rates for items under £100: which I was pleased to see had a 2-10kg option at a price that was close to Yodel’s £5.21 that I use a lot. BUT… there is no option for this weight range when you select Si...
Removing Auto Relisting on eBay Option Seems to be Missing
I cannot see the option to remove Auto relisting for an Auction on the current version of Ebay (Private Seller). Here is a screen grab of what I see on the desktop version. The option doesn't seem to appear or am I looking in the wrong place. Also, i...
Have eBay changed their mind about Simple Delivery?
I can still list using Yodel. Will this be zapped soon? What is going on?
Late delivery defects / royal mail not scanning
Hello We have recently had a barrage of late delivery defects taking us up to 4%, resulting in us being due to loose our top rated status this month. We have recently switched to Royal Mail as our default courier, but it appears they are regularly no...
Buyer protection fee
I understand that eBay has to make a profit but this is just not working. I am having to reduce my selling price by 4% to achieve the advertised price I am seeking, effectively a selling fee of 4%. Buyers seem to be staying away as I have only sold 2...
Funds on hold item sent How long before I get paid?
Hi again all, I've been selling on eBay for around 4 months now. I've sold a decent amount of items, have great feedback and dispatch items same day. I posted on here last week after my funds got placed on hold. It's happened again but this time as t...
No more cash on collection.
Just saw the new seller rules. I've got no issue with the reduction in free listings. But no more cash on collection I do mind. It means there is no way to make a buyer check on collection and once they accept it pay with no risk of them changing the...
Simple delivery is awful
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 the...
April 15th - The day Ebay died. (Yet another Simple Delivery rant)
The new Ebay controlled delivery for private Sellers becomes compulsory on April 15th, Ebay will remove the opt out option. I won't re-hash the many negatives for Sellers around the cost and delayed payments. For me the final straw is that the Seller...

Charges to Buyers and Ebay's Usage in General from a Private Seller
HelloThought I'd have a moan in the vague hope that somebody in Ebay's hierarchy might see it.-I am a private seller selling my stamp collection bit by bit. Today a UK Buyer spent £0.50 with me. How can it be right that his bill came to £2.94-This in...
Winning Bidders Who Won't Pay
If a person bids on an item in an auction and wins but then refuses to pay without good reason, why isn't there a sanction that prevents them from bidding on other items until they have paid the seller or at least some compensation if they don't want...
Resolved! 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
Thread for sellers' experiences of Simple Delivery and if only their chosen carrier is actually used
Yes, I know there are a lot of Simple Delivery threads but I imagine this one will be helpful for others too. I'm holding off listing any more items and taking existing ones down tomorrow as there's no way that I want to use Evri. I asked earlier thi...
