Used eBay perfectly before the changes. Now have no interest. "Talk about being put in ones place"

I have not sold anything since these dreaded changes not really happy with them. 

Couple of easy questions to the brave sellers who have stayed on and now know.

Can a seller still use Royal Mail postage stamps (those little square paper things} or do we now have to use a eBay label?

Will eBay hold payment if seller posts something by normal post without having it tracked although buyer says its arrived safely.

Can a seller combine a few bought lots together and post them in one envelope only charging buyer for one postage like before, or do eBay still prefer to charge buyers postage on each lot?

No, you can't use RM stamps with SD. (Which is unfortunate as I have about £200 of stamps sitting in my drawer@, so yes, you need to use the Ebay label.

 

If something's not sent tracked you'll get your money 14 days later, I think it is.

 

Not sure about the combining, but I've seen others say you can't, though apparently Ebay are looking into it.

As far as I know, you would still be able to use stamps on items that are exempt from Simple Delivery, ie letter sized items priced at £10 or under, weighing no more than 100g.

Oh, yes, that's right. I'd forgotten that.

The postage stamp issue is another reason why eBay should have made Simple Delivery optional - or at least had a much longer period of adjustment, so that those who need to use up stamps could have done so.

 

Oversized items are also exempt from SD - I presume it's ok to use stamps on a very big parcel?!  🐘
