eBay Couriers

Once you have created a listing on Shiply you will start to receive quotes from eBay couriers who want to complete your delivery. As with any delivery you want it carried out to your timescale by a dependable transport provider.

While you can set a specific timescale for your eBay delivery, you will likely receive more bids if you keep your delivery and collection dates flexible. This is because eBay couriers will use Shiply to fill up spare space on pre-existing routes. If they are able to deliver your item or items alongside another delivery they will be able to offer a cheap quote compared to the standard rate.

You will want to choose a eBay courier who has previous experience moving the type of item that you are watching or bidding on on eBay. If you are bidding on a used car for example, you want a transport provider who has a wealth of experience transporting cars rather than a furniture courier.

The Shiply feedback system means you can quickly review eBay delivery companies bidding on your listing. On their Shiply profile page you will be able to see their feedback score, past customer reviews and company information.

To properly complete your eBay delivery it is important to agree on the details of the delivery prior to accepting a bid. You can message any potential eBay couriers bidding on your listing to finalise a date of collection, preparations to be made and any other special requirements needed.

With any eBay delivery on Shiply it is important to make sure you are the winning bidder before accepting a delivery quote. You should also pass on the details of the eBay seller to the transport provider. Naturally, the seller should be aware prior to collection that the delivery of the item has been organised through Shiply.

Ask the seller to document the condition of the item when it is collected and have the eBay courier sign off on the condition the item. When the item arrives, you will be able to check whether any damage has occurred in transit.
