Only registered mail - drop-off with eBay shipping labels? - No seamless proof of delivery.
Good day,
this has been bothering me for years now!
From my sales experience, "safe handoff" is not suitable as indisputable proof of delivery,
But when selecting the ebay shipping labels, ONLY "safe handoff" registered mail is available.
Why is there please no "standard" handover or "insured" registered mail to choose from, which would often make more sense?
I don't understand why these options have been so limited for years now.
I (m/f/d) keep hoping for progress, but nothing is happening there.
Or are the other options unlocked somewhere, and I'm just too stupid?
What am I doing wrong?
Kind regards.
Thank you.

Mentor10 months agoYou set the shipping costs yourself, @honigmars .
Now you've set 15 Eoro for an ES, and as a private seller, a K can revoke the purchase from you.

OP10 months agoNo, registered mail "value": 6.25, commuter flat-rate + advertising expenses: 8.75. = 🖐🖐🖐
And he’s welcome to revoke it if I’m marketing on the lowest market price tier. Value increase guaranteed!)

Mentor10 months agoHi @honigmars
if you want to use a shipping method other than the ones offered by eBay, you're free to buy it directly from the shipping provider.

OP10 months agoYeah, morning, then you might as well leave it out completely by that logic xD
Not helpful. I'm already a bit further along "advanced" now and have already realized that the "insured" registered mail would only be possible at the post office anyway 😄 my bad.
That would be something, packaging up a real registered letter with a one-take video and off it goes into the village mailbox. Can't get any better than that 😄 or would if it were possible.
But this whole "drop-off" letter thing is just a trick.
I'm leaning toward the palm tree now: that's some kind of tacit agreement (¿non-aggression pact?) between eBay <=> DP. The DPs don't exactly want to suddenly have to handle tons of handover registered mail.
(which is extremely annoying for the flow of letter delivery:)
The advantage of eBay labeling is, on the one hand, efficiency, that it gets registered right away,
and above all, on the other hand, that the shipping is already paid out of the purchase amount,
and that means I can also sell when I'm broke d:-P
Now, because I'm poor again, I have to use the drop-off thing, and if it then gets slit open in the mailbox again.... meh ...
Hermetes isn't any better either .-/
And HDL packages are usually not even signed for at the door anymore,
or I might as well throw in 31.4kg of garden compost with the coin shipping, so to speak, as a treasure-hunter package, nice, who even comes up with all this crap, and then wonder when the delivery people no longer come clearly ... oink, that's enough of that now STOP

OP10 months agooh Update: I just saw that DHL has now incorporated GRAVITY into their pricing structure relatively well. Bravo 🙂 Yeah, logisticians are just exposed to the 4D SPACE-TIME to a very special degree. Science can already help enormously with that. After 110 years of anniversary, it was TIME too, BUT: the insight with the apple is actually even older °o_o° and no "New"-ton.
Hermes, however, hasn't figured it out yet ;That means I can still ship my compost, haha.
