Resolved! Help with getting Simple Delivery fee back.
So. I made a sale and chose to pay the shipping myself as I wanted to bypass Simple Delivery and send it Royal Mail Special Delivery as I want the parcel signed for (the "custom postage" has gone from my site, so it was Simple Delivery option) When t...

This is a good example of why any metrics E-Bay provide you should be treated with scepticism...
Today, I received this via E-Bay messages. 1. I've been a member for over 20 years, I'm not, never have been and have no interest in being a business account. 2. I think this is either the second or third time I've received this or very similar offer...
