Hi, a point was made last week I believe regarding the sale of bladed items and Royal Mail’s age-verification service which is no longer available to the general public.
The response given implied that EBay business accounts could still buy age-verified postage but that simply is not true.
I am a small business that occasionally sells lawn mower blades, which under eBay’s policy require me to use age-verified shipping, however, the only way to purchase that from RM is have a business account WITH ROYAL MAIL (not eBay) and my turnover is way too low to be eligible even if I wanted to be!
So, what (if anything) are eBay doing to address the thousands of listings that state they are using RM age-verified posting (to get round the policy) but in reality have no way of doing so?
Thanks.
Hi @555njp
Apologies if my post wasn't clear. I was referring to posts from others saying that they needed a Royal Mail business account to purchase AV. I have not however been able to confirm this, although it seems you have.
As it stands, we don't have an option for AV but we are looking into any other services that would allow it at a reasonable rate.
Once I have more shareable information on it I will let everyone know.
Thanks,
Dave
