Question Re: Is Sendle that bad? in Selling on eBay

Is Sendle that bad?

Hello all,

I am a long term eBay seller and have always used AP in the past. I have a few paperbacks up for sale and was toying with idea of using eBay Labels for postage caus the postage appears to be so much cheaper.

Does using ebay labels automatically mean Sendle and is Sendle really that bad??

Is there anything you would use Sendle for, i.e., paperbacks, CD's ?

I actively avoid them as a buyer after having problems both in the city where I used to live and in a rural area where I now reside.

They use the cheapest couriers they can (Aramex/ Fastway/ Couriers Please - all of whom have shocking ratings).

Have look at the many dozens of threads on herewith complaints about Sendle, and decide if you are willing to risk it

If I were still selling on my selling account, I would not consider using them

The Sendle experience varies depending on both seller and buyer location. My personal experience is nothing short of excellent, but the experience of others can be quite the opposite.

I offer all forms of shipping (including Sendle), and leave the choice to the buyers. After all, they're paying for the shipping, so they have every right to make that choice.

If you do decide to offer Sendle as an option, please be aware that certain buyers will not purchase from you - even if you also offer AP on the same listing.

For what it's worth, I'd advise you to use MyPost Business rather than eBay labels.
