i think EVRI just make their tracking up as the days go by.

When listing items on eBay, I try to send them 'postage only' with Royal Mail Tracked 48 IF I CAN. Sometimes, half-way through writing a listing, eBay says 'Your postage options have been updated' and it gets defaulted to 'Simple delivery'. I have not yet worked out how to get it back to Royal Mail, but usually if I copy an old listing with Royal Mail on it, it stays with Royal Mail...
I can handle Simple Delivery now I'm used to it, with EVRI and Royal Mail as the options for the buyer. INPOST used to be on the list, but I took it off after my nearest INPOST box was never able to accept my parcel 'cos the lockers were always full!

Slightly off-topic, a parcel I sent Royal Mail Tracked 48 on 10 August arrived with the buyer on 1 Sep, after I'd refunded him as it was officially 'lost' on 25 Aug. Royal Mail ain't what it used to be!

I had several of the hardback books back in the 60s, I'm sure they're still around somewhere...

When I was a young man in the UK with my mates target practice was one of our favourite hobbies.
We called it "darts".

Surely when you pay for the postage, you will buy the relevant insurance from the carrier (Royal Mail/Evri and others). If you go outside of Ebay's postage system how can they know?

The whole point of simple postage was that eBay assumed the risk for both the seller and the buyer. In the event it wasn't delivered both are eligible for a refund, as long as the simple postage label was used (and scanned into the system). Is your comment based on experience?

I think that before this particular topic spirals any further downhill, it would be helpful if the NGF moderators could look closely at the NGF's Code of Conduct to see if any of its rules have actually been broken by the original post (OP) and/or subsequent posts.

Clearly, the OP has caused (rightly or wrongly) some outcry and complaint as well as some (rightly or wrongly) support. Since the original thread under General Discussion/hobbies has been deleted I can pass no further comment.

It is possible that the Code of Conduct needs to be further updated to deal with this kind of situation. Perhaps @scottmitchell74 could take the time read the section in the Code covering Bullying or Grievances - see Welcome and Introduction.

From a personal point of view, if the opportunity arises, I like to take part in laser pistol shooting, airgun shooting and archery for my enjoyment so therefore in this case I can see both points of view. @Ali Smith has made some reasonable and balanced points.

I hope this helps.
