I've just discovered this myself, the hard way. I'm a private seller and I sold something this morning. When I went to print out the royal mail postage label (which is the only delivery service I had invoked when eBay forced the Simple Delivery on us) I saw my buyer had elected for something called InPost. There is only one InPost dropoff point in my area, which is currently not accepting any parcels. The next Inpost points are a 2 hour round trip away!

I am appalled to see that a range of delivery options have been added to my account without my knowledge. I rely on being able to book a collection through Royal Mail, because I work full time and I live in a rural area. I have now rectified this in my account, but I'm going to have to contact my buyer to see if they are happy or able to change their delivery service (which they have already clearly paid for). I think I'm going to lose this sale and potentially get bad feedback.

I'm not surprised so many sellers are leaving eBay, imposing options without our knowledge is completely unacceptable.
