Thanks but this is very concerning as the fee is still an option to sellers and I've been paying it on 99% of my listings, even yesterday! Why is ebay offering it if its an outdated upgrade? Can I claim my fees back?

Hi @dantwocats ,

 

Can you share the link to the draft listing or active listing if its active?

 

Thank you,

There are many free programmes for altering picture size online Example PhotoScape

Live long and prosper

Please could you start by letting us continue to use 2nd class Royal Mail for large letters under 100g? When I sell an item for under £5, a postage cost of £2.74 instead of £1.55 is a huge increase in total price. A totally tracked service isn't necessary for low value items, but you still get a RM tracking number for 2nd class when bought online, and nearly all of these are scanned when delivered.

my postage was already competitive ,and its this fiddling with my old live listing thats a real pain , and they are doing it again ?

Thanks for your reply, dantwocats.

 

If you think that your prices are competitive as it is, then you can just leave them as they are right now. As advised before, this is only a recommendation only, so no need for you to do so if you don't want to.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Regarding simple delivery, the new update today suggests that we should be able to see the various size / weight bands on the active listings page, ie:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sh/lst/active

 

Is that the case and if so should we be able to see that now or only after the 20th or only if the account has been moved to mandatory simple delivery?

 

Will it also be possible to edit those bands in the bulk editing page? (ie the page you get to if you select all > edit from the active page)


Hi wellingnorth, thanks for your post.

 

In the announcement we sent, we didn't say the layout of the page would be updated, and that's as much information as we can share for now. However, you won't see any changes before they take effect, which is on May 20th.

 

Thank you,

Marco


Thanks for this Marco I think understand now, I'm not sure I'd read the message as intended.

 

So the promotional pricing which lets you send medium parcels at the small parcel rate ends on the 20th and only after that point there will be new functionality on the active listings page to show / edit the size / weight bands?

 

So on or after the 20th sellers should use the active listings page to check their listings for any that are marked medium parcel but could be sent cheaper as small parcels.

Hi @emw-designs ,

 

I understand as per your examples. I will share this feedback with our shipping team. I cannot guarantee a change but will share the these examples.

 

Thank you,

Hi wellingnorth, thanks for your reply.

 

The changes that will apply are only the ones sent in the announcement, no more than that, and that will only be from May 20th. Then you can make changes if you want in order to offer better prices to your buyers.

 

Thank you,

Hi @*violet.sky* 

 

You will need to speak to customer support on that one. It's possible that its still on listings that have been auto renewing, sometimes they system will allow the option to remain active until you edit or end the listings. If you're being charged you should still get the boost but CS should be able to confirm this for you. 

 

Thanks,

Dave
