I personally don't think ebay can go locker only - on a good day even my private sales would use up a lot of lockers - add to that the fact that even with Vinted having lockers as an option many lockers are routinely full and would be unworkable if more than one seller in the vicinity tried to send multiple parcels.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Now ditched eBay yesterday as I've had enough of all their silly changes.0 -
As a business seller it is disappointing that this hasn’t happened overnight. The new changes will occur over a number of weeks, starting with the electronics category first. Still, I have not found any visual changes to pricing in this category just yet. Hopefully in the coming days and weeks business sellers will see the changes take effect and give us half a chance of being able to compete with the fee-free brigade0
