Simple Delivery will be compulsory from March 2025. So yes, all items will be insured by eBay and buyers will be refunded by eBay
Simple by name, but not Simple by nature - however it was a Simple-Minded idea by Ebay to make this a 'Mandatory' means of posting items to buyers in the not-so-distant-future. Simple-Minded (dictionary-meaning) :- 'having or showing very little intelligence or judgement'.
Another description to this would be what is called Murphy's Law - meaning :- 'A supposed law of nature, expressed in various humorous popular sayings, to the effect that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. This ridiculous Simple-Minded plan will go horribly wrong. Far too many who sell on Ebay, do so by walking/driving to their local Post Office and sending items they've sold on Ebay through that traditional system - of having Professional Post Office staff do the work for us. Certainly NEVER being FORCED into a DIY version, where you have to weigh items, measure them and fill in all the details online - which is something I can absolutely say I am against !!!!!!
Oh, it's also worthy to mention that Evri Postal company is often so lack-luster when delivering items to your front door. Quite often, the lack-luster and pathetic and incompetent staff they hire - have a habit of either ringing your doorbell, or, knocking on your door - and then simply leaving the parcel outside on your door mat. Yes, I have had this many times, and when I open the door - there lies my parcel on the mat, and the driver is racing or inside his vehicle and off he/she goes. Doesn't even check to see if I had opened the door to pick up the parcel. I could have been out at the time they come - unlike with Royal Mail post men - who at the very-least, shall wait until you've come to the door, and if you haven't come to the door, then they'll either put it back in the van, or leave it with a neighbour and put a Royal Mail slip through your door - to inform you of where it has been left.
This terrible service is (obviously) not taken on board by Ebay. I mean, why should they even care, when Private sellers sell on their sites for absolutely ZERO profits to themselves in Sellers fees ?? - Well, of course, it's no skin off their nose.
So, take Simple Delivery and shove it where the sun don't shine 😡 - is what 'Many' Ebay sellers shall say to this, if it ever does become mandatory.
