In this video we're getting you ahead of the game for a big change that's coming to eBay!

[yoyoyozz]

Ebay will be dead soon, instead of Bullshit changes, maybe reduce the fees instead

[fiforest]

I’m currently housebound so rely on Royal Mail who collect my parcels for free. I can’t be driving around to different couriers. I really hope we can opt out.

[SopheM]

Everything is more work.. More time.. More costs.. And we are getting less and less back..

[JennyHall-sf]

I will definitely opt out if possible as I live a long way from any drop off points other than Royal Mail.

After 20 years of selling on eBay i stopped selling on there a few months ago because of things like this, i get things change with times but eBay are changing things that is not needed and to the cost of sellers, i just came across your YouTube channel and very impressed with your content, best of luck to you both :)

[RetroReselling]

Great find guys! I'm always open to changes as you have to adapt in business or get left behind.
I do prefer it when buyers buy their own labels and all I have to do is print it off. As long as we get to choose which courier companies we do & don't want to use then it shouldn't be too bad 👍🏻

Good changes. Saves a lot of time. Saves you VAT treshold, as you're not taking money for postage. As far, as I understand.

Question is: will we still pay FVF on postage. I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

I pack my stuff as I photograph it, so I know right away the weight and dimentions. Store it packed, so it's more safe from a handling damage. When it's sold, I pick by the SKU that is on packaging.

If you opt in only for RM, then your customer only be able to choose RM. Like on Vinted. They won't be able to choose Yodel, as you won't opt in for it. If ebay doesn't pusnish you now for not offering Yodel, then it shouldn't after the changes. But we'll see.

For missing parcel, seller is always responsible. I can't see it being different.

Some couriers do not cover for damage/loss for certain items like ceramics, Jewllery etc.

[janemays]

My daughter sells on Vinted and they let her opt out of postage options; she chooses Royal Mail and Evri, and most of her buyers choose Evri. I wouldn't use Evri for my ebay if they paid me!

I'm so glad I saw your video randomly on here! I've been selling on ebay for just over 7 years but this week I made the decision to jack it in. The selling experience on ebay has changed so much in my time on there and not for the better. There is never any consultation with sellers at all before these ridiculous changes happen. I'm not a business but I do have an above average performance and 100% positive feedback but I'm so far fown the listings now it's pointless. I feel they have moved so far away ftom the platform they once were. It really isn't worth the bother anymore, so I shall be taking whatever is left of my listings to a charity shop.
Good luck to you going forward. 😊

[LazieJane]

Oh crepes I’ll definitely be opting out. I’m disabled and Royal Mail collection is the only way for me to get post out quickly. Thanks for the heads up.

[MrFrankHovis]

Just like the recent no-fees-on-clothing change, this new change shows again that eBay are feeling threatened by Vinted. Competition is good but I suspect the fees will be the last thing to be reduced, if at all. Thanks for the heads-up!

[janebarrett]

I’m with you I’m out …. I really love Rm, I don’t drive and live in a small village… my post office is amazing ..

[maxthelab]

Again Ebay give no consideration whatsoever to the sellers and the practicalities of their 'improvements'. If this becomes mandatory not optional ( which is quite possible with Ebay ) I wonder how many sellers will just throw the towel in. It seems to me that Ebay are completely oblivious to the fact that without is no Ebay!. The fewer sellers there are, the less items are listed, the less choice buyers have, so buyers go elsewhere. Ebay for sure is run by college leavers with no business acumen whatsoever.

[babsattheatticvintagecolle]

I would def opt out. Why keep changing things?

[bamboobat]

I have been reselling on eBay for 17 years using Royal Mail, if you can't opt out of this my eBay reselling days are over. eBay seem to be making it as difficult as possible for resellers.

[EbayLife]

Great content and update guys, many thanks, I will have to feed this out to the community on my channel too, people need to know about this massive change and blurry updating from ebay. Much appreciated. Keep up the great work :)

[ThisisJo]

I just had a random thought also….presumably there will be no such thing as a free postage option anymore then!

[Jimbo_resells]

Great video, I've shared this in one of the eBay seller groups I am in on Facebook, I'm sure so many people did not know about this change
