eBay simple delivery (merged)

TimeLord1

The buyer also needs to submit photos to subscribe and substantiate the claim. As I've stated previously this system could end up being very costly to eBay.

Am I missing something here?
Just sold an item, but looks like I am not getting the postage amount, only the cost of the item.

Was this a simple delivery item? If so then ebay provide a pre paid label , you don't see the money for it at all. If the listing was set up as buyer pays, then they have pad ebay for the listing, if it was seller pays/free delivery then you will be charged.

Thanks. I see what you mean. I do not pay anything towards postage. First time this has happened for me.
 I will now need to incorporate cost of packaging into my listings now.

If the listing was 'freepost' ebay will charge you for the label. If not the buyer will have paid ebay, who will deduct this before paying you. Here is one item I sold;

I have posted it now, and Ebay have charged the buyer for the postage.
Wish they had just left things the way they used to be.
