Ebay Global Shipping, package delivered but item missing
Hi, An item was sold and delivered via the Ebay global shipping but the customer has recieved a damaged package with the item missing. How do we go about resolving this? Can I resend an item using the same shipping label?
New postage policy seems a bit dodgy...
Anyone else find the ‘new’ postage process for sellers frustrating and a bit suspicious? Specifically: Ebay now require sellers to select the postage service during the listing and only allow them to use that postage service once the item has sold. T...
SD today.
Just sold something. Over £10.00, under 100g. I've can click the blue box to get SD label and QR code, but, I've also been given customers address and option to apply own tracking number without progressing to SD. This was on an existing listing and ...
Ebay's response to Post Offices who refuse Simple Delivery packages with the wrong label on them
This was Ebay's response in the chat today:
'Simple' Delivery... Does it really take 40 days for a buyer to get a postage refund?
So I dealt with my first 'simple' delivery today... Sometimes people buy several of our items and pay for them quickly, so they end up as multiple orders.(Or - as has been the case recently - when 'Orders eligible for combined purchase' doesn't work ...
eBAY SLOW TO RESPOND AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING
Hello fellow eBayers …. I understand that in the past fortnight, a lot of sellers have removed their items listed on ebay. There are almost certainly as many again if not more, waiting to see what will happen in the next 7 days. Unanswered questions ...
Lost
Lost valuable coin in post. Paid for 48 hours tracked. Now been told by Royal Mail not entitled to compensation. Should of sent special delivery. I gave buyer a full refund.
Another simple delivery thread. Help needed
Obviously this is now a thing, which I've used on vinted a couple of times but never on ebay. I have some questions....There doesn't seem to be a dispatch time taken into account when sending.If you send a large heavy item like I frequently do how do...
It's still possible to make money on eBay - short their shares on the stock market lol
I'm also making my way to other platforms, FB Marketplace, Vinted, Gumtree etc. The protection fees are a joke, Simply Delivery is needlessly painful etc.Interesting to see if the platform will survive, as newcomers won't have known any better.Best o...
Resolved! Unable to send Invoice or Combine Postage
So usually when I sell multiple items to a buyer I send them an invoice and adjust the postage accordingly - there is no such option there at the moment - there is a link to combine items so I click on that and then try and collate them there and get...
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 ......
Why are Ebay trying to push Evrie???
I had recently not sold anything for over a week so thought i would just delist and then relist then, when doing this i had noticed that Ebay had changed my postage without my say so (so might explain why no sales) to Evrie!! how dare they!! i had an...
Resolved! Simple Delivery: why do the postage costs change based on whether the buyer or seller pays?
I've been clearing out a load of unwanted items and between some stuff not yet selling and some not yet being listed, I'm forced to work with Simple Delivery for the time being. I have excluded Evri (i.e. Hermes) so the only option is Royal Mail, and...
BPF and SD (STUPID DELIVERY) …. TIME FOR eBAY TO RETHINK
Hello fellow eBayers … If you read the Simple sorry Stupid Delivery breakdown released by eBay management a few days ago and as recent as today speak to their Customer Services you get conflicting statements. eBay have a total disregard for people us...
EBay’s new simple postage not so simple and just another control move by eBay
This new simple postage process by eBay is yet another control measure by themthe ‘optional’ part is temporary and eventually all private sellers will have to use thiswhich Means they own you! I don’t like everi or yodel and I only like Royal Mail to...
