Click & Collect forced opt in.

[go-tazz]

Just received a message on both accounts:

Click & Collect from 26 April

From:eBay

Sent:18-Apr-16 08:00

From 26 April, Click & Collect will be enabled on your account. Click & Collect is a great way to boost your sales by offering an additional level of service. Rather than sending an item to a person's home, simply post it to the Woolworths or Big W address they choose.

So it looks like anyone that has opted out in the past will now be opted in.

I can't opt out via preferences as I haven't got it listed in there,(so I presume I opted out at some time),

As long as they don't put it back in as I wont be using it.

I would dearly love to tell ebay where to stick their click (and collect) I did opt out and they put it back, so I opted out again.

Might be worth keeping an eye on it. Cheeky sods they are

i opted out a while ago and its still there in my options under site preferences. post preferences. you have to click on the 'show' buttong to get the drop down list where click and collects hiding

I can't find the link to it at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that you are only able to offer Click & Collect in your listings if you have a low handling time (2 or 3 days). If you have a handling time of 5+ as it is, you might be safe.

Just got the same email today, but few of my listing would qualify.

It doesn't show for me anywhere,(doesn't show using the edit functions either)

I've also added postage to all my listings as free postage seems to be one of their requirements.

There seems to be a number of threads related to this.  In this particular thread, a member has said that you WON'T be able to opt-out until the actual date that it commences 26 April !!!!!! (which seems ludicrous to me).

The email I received stated I'll receive ANOTHER email when it is LIVE on that day.

So I guess everyone will have to be very ready to pounce to opt out on receipt of this second email.

[davidc4430]

could there be a difference between store holders and non store sellers?

You will be able to opt out of it once you have actually been opted in. In other words, after the 26th April.  You can't turn something off if it isn't yet on.

It is a staged implementation, I was opted in form April 1, and promptly opted out as soon as it appeared.  If you haven't yet received the email, you soon will.

I've got the email on my store ID, not on the other ID. I assume it won't show on any of my listings anyway but I'll opt out just in case. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it because there are much more important things in life. I used to work at Big W and know how chaotic things can be in their layby dept, especially leading up to Christmas but also on pension day, so I honestly don't know where they'd store extra parcels.
