Same time its simple delivery on this forum.
I'm selling a gold sovereign and I certainly don't think I can post gold with their new "Simple Delivery" which I hate. Is there any way without switching onto a business account to get custom postage with the normal Royal Mail Special Delivery?
Resolved! Technical Fault - Check your listings to see if the Item specifics box is there

Sick of ebays greed and AI
Like many others i have used ebay for a couple of decades and i am being driven away from it becuase the charges for selling are getting outrageous and cannot be justified. I also hate the way they hold onto your money just to make the interest on it...
Simple Delivery, just a couple of questions. lol
Hi,Reluctantly, I will be ending my listings by the end of the week, but will probably be dragged kicking and screaming into simple delivery. Having created my first simple delivery listing as a test, just a couple of questions. I have thankfully exc...

eBay - PLEASE read the room and Trustpilot
A few years ago I'd have been really shocked to see the results below. Not now after the new rules forced on Private sellers.
What happened to the shortcut to alter price - now have to revise listing
