Why do I have to create a shipping and a payment policy to sell something now?

[krycrs]

Has the seller listing form changed? When I try and list an item to sell I am asked to create a payment policy under the select how you will be paid section, Also Under the add shipping details again I have to create a policy. I tried using one of my templates to sell a similar item where the shipping and payment info would already be there and it still asks me to create a policy. I have never had to do this before and not sure how to do it either.

apparently I have opted in to ebays business policy thing, which I was unaware I had done. So how do i opt out of this so my seller listings are back to normal?

You can currently opt out of business policies by clicking the opt out link in the upper right corner of the Manage your business policies page in My eBay > Account > Manage your business polices. If you opt out, the payment, shipping, and return details in your current and scheduled listings aren't affected.

I'm having the same thing happen to me. Before, I'd have a drop down menu to select shipping, payment, and return policies. Now I'm asked to input this each time I list, I can't just select a pre-made one. I can't find any link to the business policies under My Account.

I'm having no end of frustration with the "Create shipping policy" and "Create return policy" buttons. I can't push the listing through without them, but when I click on the links, I get a message telling me that I can't do it yet because it's new and will be phased in gradually over the next few months.

The simple setup isn't working for me either, because I want to list the item as Buy It Now only and not do an auction, and it doesn't seem to allow that. Any ideas?

I'm running into the same thing, too, and I can't find a way around it.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
