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 Simple Delivery offers a faster and easier experience: • Fastest way to get payments: Get your funds 2 days after delivery confirmation when using our prepaid labels. • Save 20% off postage costs*: Get competitive rates to offer standard and express delivery with Royal Mail and Evri. • 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. Click the button below to see what’s eligible.

sort of... to a point. here is what you get if you go over £1740 -------------------------------------------------- We're reaching out to remind you of the UK digital sales reporting law. This law requires marketplaces like eBay to collect and report seller information if you meet one of these thresholds: 30 or more sales, or sales exceeding £1740 in a calendar year. You can add your National Insurance number from account settings. As a reminder, your tax obligations haven't changed. According to HMRC, if you’re selling a few unwanted personal items, like those stored in a loft or garage, it's unlikely that you'll need to pay tax. If you're unclear about whether you need to report income, this tool from HMRC is a helpful guide. For more context on the information required to comply with this legislation, and how we protect your personal data, see our dedicated Seller Centre page. .............................................................................. hope that helps,

Ebay have been very underhanded here, they said funds would be released 2 days after the item has been delivered. but... they have removed the button that says "item received" so unless you use their posting and tracking service there is no way the person can say they have received their item, even when they leave feedback two days after they have bought it cus you sent an item next day delivery and sent it on the day it was paid for, you still have to wait OVER two weeks for your cash. so... ebay have a float of everyons cash for two weeks rolling, thats a sh!t load of cash that does not belong to them collecting interest FOREVERRRRRRRR. f£$&!n Robbers and here is the new one.... get ready.... "Add your tax information to your account to get compliant with UK digital sales reporting legislation, and to avoid upcoming restrictions." tax is also accountable for second hand goods being sold, so be careful selling your wal on ebay for £10K ! you might want to look into that regarding the boundaries of what is taxable and what is not !
