Simple Delivery (or how eBay passes the buck when things go wrong)
A few weeks ago I sold a large vintage ceramic jug and bowl set as a 'buy it now'. It was going from Norfolk to the buyer in Devon. Evri was selected as the preferred courier because of the weight and size of it and Simple Delivery had kicked in.I pa...

Simple Delivery
I still live in hope that they will scrap Simple Delivery or at least let sellers choose the postage service they wish to use which was always Royal Mail for me, I did not mind the trip to my local post office 2 or 3 times a week and never had any is...
New listings and amending existing listings still showing old Buyer Protection fees
Am I doing something wrong? Trying to list something for £55, listing says buyer protection fee is £2.92. a £55 listing with 4% fee plus 10p flat rate should be £2.30.This is a brand new buy it now listing, it's doing the same with new auctions and r...
New Fees calculation.
OK, I understand that there are new fees applied, and I have just noted that an item I had listed at £9.99 is now listed at £11.11! The odd 11p makes it look a very unappealing price. I could list it at £10.99 and take the hit, but my question is ......
A 'Petition'
In one particular thread about 'Simple Delivery' which I've been active in over the past few days, the suggestion has been made that someone - ie., me, an eBay member of 25 years - should start a petition.With seemingly thousands of posts in numerous...
Problems with listing page.
I am having terrible, time-wasting problems listing books... It seems to be a technical problem with the eBay website.I often use 'Sell similar' or 'Sell one like this' options as the basis for my listings, then alter the specifics tailored to my own...
Two tracking codes
I've posted an item using QR simple postage at local post office. Today I noticed the item has two tracking codes and I've been charged twice for one parcel. Has this happened to anyone else? If so any info or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Updates to Buyer Protection Fee as of 17 July - give with one hand and take back with another!
I have just read eBay's recent email excitedly letting us all know they have reduced the flat fee of 75p to a more palatable 10p per item. BUT...they have made changes to the percentage added on top of that. They used to add 4% for anything with a va...
Quick question regarding cancelled order request from a buyer and clearance of funds.
Hi, I've had a sale this evening and within an hour the buyer has put in a cancellation request. The reason is apparently they have since found it cheaper elsewhere. It is annoying, but I'll accept the request to avoid the hassle. The issue is, I can...
Changes to Buyer Protection fee. How does this help?
How on earth can this be good news and help me sell things? Yes a reduced flat fee - but look at the total cost in fees when all are added up? Without the ability to add multiple items into the basket, this is getting ridiculous now.
postage for private sellers
Just had a situation, whereby i chose wrong postage service for size of package.Under old system, i could simply rectify my mistake , by cancelling and changing postage courier.Try doing that with the new, wonderful "simplified " system, and see how ...
Buyer protection should change into a commission paid by sellers
The buyers protection seems loaded with negativity for everyone.ebay should get their money in the form of commission paid by the seller, without extras from the buyer. This is a fair and simple answer to a problem which is putting buyers off.another...
Combined shipping with Simple Delivery - confusion!
My buyer bought 10 separate items from me, which I'd listed using the Simple Delivery option, and I want to combine them into one package so he only pays once for postage. He already paid, so I can't raise an invoice for total sales. The advice I've ...
Simple Delivery - Label Printing
So Simple Delivery is here. Bite the bullet or lose Ebay I think.I have never used postage labels and have some questions if anyone can help:Does the label need to be any particular size?Can you print it more than once if you mess up (which I will)?C...
