eBay simple delivery (merged)

That's a shocking increase!  I wonder how they can justify that, it really just looks like price gouging on the surface.

Absolutely insane.  I have not used Ebay since these new systems came into force in the spring (not just for Ebay reasons, other commitments etc), and was beginning to think about re-starting, but I will not go back if they do this, as I am not prepared to use Evri.

For the <£100 price, it is a 41% increase, >£100, a 56% increase - and what extra value would a seller or buyer get for that ?  Zero.  I also note they say it applies to people who opt-in for "Royal Mail only", i.e. not RM and Evri - so it might be to deter people from doing so, and thus forcing them to face the possibility of having to use Evri, even if they do not want to ?   So all this suggests it is a deterrent to force sellers to do what Ebay wants.

I do wonder how the £5.15 or £6.16 income is to be divided between RM and Ebay, if anyone actually ever uses it !
