We are selling the item at a price of £9.49, however eBay has already charged total fees (including VAT) of £1.86 for this transaction. Despite this, eBay has additionally charged £1.57 as import tax, which is unclear to us.Please advise me what to d...
Simple Delivery Update (ie eBay are going to make it even WORSE!)
Today I had a message from eBay informing me that there was going to be some “Changes to some of your listings”. They went on to tell me that “Starting 26 Dec, we’ll begin updating eligible live listings to Simple Delivery.” As I understand it curren...

A buyer decided to collect rather than me post the item, he collected and paid having made me an offer that i accepted. It is marked as 'dispatched' no option to say collected and no QR code available as I did not expect collection in person when i l...
Royal Mail International Medium Parcel Service Removed?
Hi, non business account holder, UK, with click and drop. I have today gone into click and drop to ship a medium parcel to the USA, less than 5kg. The one only option showing is Parcelforce? I cannot see any guidance that states that the Royal Mail s...
Resolved! Yet another buyer protection fee thread
I'm sure I'm not alone in having not quite got my head around this yet. I have an item for sale at the moment... It's up for £275, which with the buyer protection fee comes to £286.72. Someone has made me an offer on it: my seller dashboard tells me ...

Resolved! Simple delivery is awful
I list a few things on ebay occasionally, but this new simple delivery is just rubbish for sellers. It assumes that ebay actually know the size and weight of items And that everyone can easily get to Evri or other courier services easily. Why did the...
eBay Simple Delivery - Buyer gets no option to choose couriers?
Okay, so today I learned that despite selecting all 3 couriers in the back end using Simple Delivery, the buyer is not given the option to choose on the product page end during checkout? What's the point of choosing if eBay makes the selection for yo...
EVRI lost an item and eBay made me pay.
I sold a £52 item and used eBay Simple Delivery with buyer protection. EVRI damaged the packet and delivered a very obviously empty packet to my buyer. EVRI accepted that they damaged the packet but advised the buyer to claim with eBay. eBay refunded...
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...
Late delivery defects / royal mail not scanning
