Ebay Charges, Now The Dust Has Settled

[Funky 4 Corners]

Having read the various posts regarding the free postage on UK ebay with great interest my view is that they have made a mistake that is driving sellers onto other sites and media. As far as I'm concerned as a buyer - all I get now is 2nd class mail, that keeps the item in the Post Office system for longer - attracting more opportunity for damage and theft. It often arrives in flimsy packaging - again to keep sellers costs down and increases chances of damage . Under the old system, if I thought that postage costs were too high I had choices 1 - Don't bid. 2 - Ask the seller to justify the cost. 3 - Tell them you're gonna leave negative feedback unless they reduce it and 4, Leave scathing feedback if they don't.
