The saga continues with added new twists.
My "eBay for Business - A Change to your listings" email I received today 1/3 states
"Our objective is to ensure that buyer expectations are met about the type of postage service that is being provided. For any items that are priced below $20 and have had less than 20% tracking applied between July and December of 2020, we will assume these items are being sent by an untracked letter service. On the week commencing 29th March, these items will be automatically moved to the Australia Post Domestic Regular Letter Untracked in the item’s listing. "
So does that mean even if its listed as a "Tracked Letter" eBay will assume its untracked and not accept that it was tracked in a INR case? Surely not.
It also states "Your listings may show longer Estimated Delivery Dates" How much longer a day, a week, a month or a year.
Also "Your listings may be placed lower in search results" What if they are promoted listings, will being untracked override this (which you pay extra for) and put them lower than Tracked and unpromoted??
What is the most annoying is that there is no possible way to get an accurate answer to these types of questions, which are critical to how you run your business. Even if we could I guess it would be the usual "We can't provide that type of information as it would allow sellers to game the system" because only eBay is allowed to game the system.
Profanity is no substitute for wit.
