What the heck is up with the Shipping Policy **bleep**

[dbfolks166mt]

     Trying to draft up some listings and the drop down list for the shipping selections is no longer there and has been replaced with some type of policy crap. Unsure when this change happened but do sellers now have to create separate individual policies for each individual shipping option and select one of those when they create their listing?? 

    Ignore this post apparently eBay had unilaterally opted me back into business policies. I opted out and everything is back to normal.

I noticed this yesterday when I was revising a listing.  I finally figured out how to revise the amount I charged for shipping.  

I too do not use Business Policies and if I wanted to use them I would.  I don't like this at all.  I hope to get more info on this.  I will of course share if I do.

Just for someone who may look at this thread

You can opt out of this policy if it appears on your next listing by opening the "Business Policies" page. Upper Right is a small "Opt-Out" link.

This should return the listing "back" to the options you may be used to.....

Also, don't know why or how it happens, but it does. It has happened to me also.

     Thank you. I hate it when eBay just decides to unilaterally opt sellers into something without prior notification. This seems to be a practice that is increasing.

     While I am sorry to hear you and mam98031 got hit I am glad to know that I was not the only one this happened to.
