Hi @wellingnorth 

 

Thanks for the above, I can see how it could lead to an issue alright. 

 

I'll pass this over to the site team as an improvement suggestion. It might be something they can work in to a future update.

 

Thanks,

Dave


Thank you Dave, that's appreciated, it came up for me this morning where I told the buyer I would accept a price, set that as the minimum, he made the offer and it was turned down. Not the end of the world as I could adjust it, but wasted a bit of the buyer's time so would be an improvement. 

 

I had another question / some feedback if that's okay regarding Simple Delivery, again based on what I've experienced using it for the past 6+ months.

 

What would specifically be really helpful would be the ability to opt in or out of couriers on a per listing basis and also to show the buyers the courier names and allow them to choose which they prefer (like it works quite successfully on Vinted)


Personally I am opted out of Evri because I regularly get buyers contactinve me to check that I am not using  them, but if buyers were able to see and specifically choose Evri I would happily enable it. Also this week the situation has arisen where one parcel specifically needed to be sent via Evri and another specifically via Royal Mail, at the moment there's no way to allow both things at the same time.


Another regular request is someone needing an item by a specific day. Royal Mail Special Delivery is the only way to more or less guarantee that, but is currently not available through Simple Delivery. So the seller has either to go through one of the complicated workarounds discussed on the forums to avoid Simple Delivery or turn down the sale. Again it would be great if buyers could choose Evri / Royal Mail and then the specific service, Tracked 24, 48 or Special Delivery.


Finally unless I have misunderstood it seems like there are two Click & Collect systems operating on ebay, one for Simple Delivery using Evri delivery to Evri stores and another for collections from Argos, etc. Would it be possible to make both systems available under Simple Delivery and regardless of whether you are opted in or out of any specific courier (at the moment if you are opted out of Evri Click & Collect is not available)
