eBay UK Delivery and Payment Policy Updates：A Detailed Overview

In the dynamic world of cross-border e-commerce, staying updated with platform policy changes is crucial for sellers. eBay UK has recently announced several significant updates to its delivery and payment policies, set to take effect from May 20, 2025. These changes are designed to enhance the selling experience, offer more cost-effective options, and streamline operations for sellers.



1. Delivery Policy Updates
1.1 New Small Parcel Option
eBay UK is introducing a new "0 - 2kg small parcel" option for its Easy Ship service. This addition aims to provide sellers with a more affordable shipping solution for lighter items. Sellers are advised to review and adjust the categorization of their listed items to take advantage of this new rate. By correctly classifying products, sellers can potentially reduce shipping costs, making their offerings more competitive in the market.

1.2 Evri In-Store Pickup Service
In collaboration with Evri, eBay UK is launching an in-store pickup service. This service allows buyers to collect their purchases from selected Evri ParcelShops or lockers. Not only does this offer greater convenience for buyers, but it also comes with a cost-saving benefit. Buyers can expect to save around 15% on delivery fees. For sellers, it's important to note that if they have previously excluded Evri as a shipping option, they need to re-enable it in their postage preference settings. This will ensure that their customers can access this new and cost-effective delivery choice.

Evri has an extensive network in the UK, with over 10,000 local one-stop ParcelShops and Lockers. This wide reach makes the in-store pickup service accessible to a large number of buyers, enhancing the overall customer experience.

1.3 Royal Mail "Bring Your Own Label" Collection
eBay UK is also rolling out the Royal Mail "Bring Your Own Label" collection service. This service simplifies the shipping process for sellers. Instead of having to print and attach postage labels themselves, sellers can now book a Royal Mail collection through the eBay platform. The postal worker will collect the package and print the label on the spot. This not only saves time but also reduces the potential for errors in the shipping process.

The Royal Mail has a long-established reputation for reliable delivery services in the UK. Their partnership with eBay UK in this regard further strengthens the shipping options available to sellers.



2. Payment Policy Updates

2.1 Accelerated Payments
eBay UK has made changes to its payment receipt system. For tracked orders valued at £750 or less, sellers will receive payment immediately upon receiving a positive feedback from the buyer. This is a significant improvement from the previous system, which had a lower threshold. Additionally, for non-tracked orders under £10, the same immediate payment upon positive feedback applies. If no feedback is received, sellers will receive payment two days after the order is marked as delivered (for tracked orders up to £750) or within 14 days (for non-tracked orders under £10). This acceleration of payments improves cash flow for sellers, allowing them to reinvest in their businesses more quickly.
