it was only a matter of time !
the next phase
---------------------------------------------
We’re continuing our mission to provide you with a great selling experience on eBay, which is why we made it free to sell. Now, we’re improving delivery so it’s faster, easier, and more secure for you to send your items.
Starting from 15 April, Simple Delivery will be the only delivery method available for private sellers when listing most items. There’ll be a few exceptions, such as low-priced, bulky items, and local pick-up, which aren’t eligible for Simple Delivery.
What is Simple Delivery?
Simple Delivery is our all-in-one delivery solution, designed to cut out all of the effort and save you money. It’s also the fastest way to get paid on eBay. Plus, buyers will benefit from savings and enjoy the peace of mind that tracking offers. Here’s how it works:
1.
When listing, we’ll recommend the size and weight of your item. Just confirm and we’ll do the rest.
2.
Once your item sells, you’ll receive both a printer-less QR code and a prepaid printable label, so you can choose what’s easiest.
3.
Drop off your item at the nearest carrier location, or schedule a home collection and you’re done!
You’ll still be able to choose the carriers by going to Postage Preferences in your account settings. We recommend enabling all carriers for the most competitive postage rates.
Benefits of Simple Delivery

•
Full protection: Enjoy peace of mind with eBay's full coverage for items lost or damaged in transit, where we handle claims with buyers so you don’t have to.
•
Free postage option: Choose if you want your buyer to pay for the label, or offer free postage and cover the cost.
•
Prepaid and tracked labels: Labels come with automatic tracking so buyers always know where their items are.
•
Flexible labels: Use a QR code for quick printing at drop-off locations, or easily print your own label at home.
•
Positive feedback: From late April, you’ll automatically receive positive feedback for tracked transactions delivered on time, where no feedback has been left within 7 days and no issues are reported, so you get the recognition you deserve. Learn more about this change.
Simple Delivery will apply to new eligible listings by private sellers in the UK, and from 7 April to any existing listings that are eligible. If you selected buyer-paid postage, this will stay the same when your listings are updated. If you’re covering the costs, they’ll be deducted from your sales.
