I'll health and running and eBay shop

I've been selling on eBay for I think about 12 years. I got into it because of poor health, a mortgage to pay and mouths to feed. Out of them 12 years I've probably not worked three of them, at one point I ended up with Sepsis on ICU in a induced coma for 2 weeks, they only gave me a 20% chance of survival and I spent near on 4 months in hospital.

Anyway with everything that's going on, I've had to close the shop and self isolate, now I normally ship items the same day before 2 (like a good little seller) but obviously I can't do that at the moment and I'm getting a bit skint, that with the fees today didn't help. Anyway my partner who just happens to be a nurse doesn't work Fridays and we were talking and she says she can do a drop at the P/O on Fridays for me.

I'll be totally honest, I'm not really very technical when it comes to altering thing, what I want is to only do 2nd class with shipping one day a week. Obviously 1st class, Special delivery and shipping to Europe would have to stop with customers knowing I only ship one day a week, I believe most customers will understand especially at these times.

My problem is I don't know how to go about it, also with a proven track record will eBay keep my fees the same  even though I won't be hitting my Power Seller status?

It's a tough one.

Your question would be best answered on the UK boards:  https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Discussion-Boards/ct-p/13

 

Here in the USA, our shipping is different, and our fees are not tied to Power Seller status.

For starters one thing you might want to do is change your handling time to 7 days.   Of course, you can ship sooner  at times but at least you are covered on your shipping performance evaluations.
