There seems to no intelligence what so ever from eBay regarding simple delivery. The majority of the items I am selling are under £2 and free delivery, they are mostly under 5mm so can did in an envelope so the postage is 87p. They state that simple delivery will only be done on items over £20 or under certain categories. I have been selling since 2006 and eBay had likely made a fortune from all the items I have sold over the years. I am seeing more and more of my listings suddenly be changed to simply delivery, I am paying for the postage costs so what right do they have in changed the hundreds of listings I have put time into to dictate how much I should pay for shipping?.

What amount common sense does it take that selling something for 1.99 with free postage shouldn't result in the buyer paying 3.40 for postage so that they will lose money on every sale?. Not to mention other items which I have sold that have suddenly changed from large letter at 1.55 again to this simple delivery so postage is costing me more than double.

I complained about this ridiculous policy with eBay and they only things they could suggest is that I send that item myself then request a refund, who in their right mind would want to do this every time that sell something?, they claim simple delivery is to make life easier but I don't see one factor which makes anything easier. Another suggestion was to change to a business seller which is pointless as I am not a business and I refuse to pay extra to be selling on this platform when I am just selling unwanted items from my electronics collection.

I would advise everyone to stop all sales with eBay by setting your seller is away so that no items are sold until this is resolved. I have done this on my account and will keep renewing my away time until this is resolved, if this doesn't work then I will have no choice but to close my account. If they start seeing sudden drops on sales then they will be forced to do something about it.
