Actions Sellers on eBay Australia Must Take Now
eBay advises sellers that if they wish to continue offering express services on their listings, they must select a service that is not one of the ones that will be downgraded before the 30 April deadline.
Sellers who have eBay Plus listings with these services as the Express option will need to select a new Express postage service before 30 April 2022 to retain the eBay Plus badge on these listings.
