Previously when purchasing eBay Plus items (items with the eBay plus badge), as an eBay plus member, it would offer free express shipping. But now it doesn't seem to do this. For example, this item: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/402524139115 , shows the eBay plus badge but the express shipping is showing as $9.80.
Has eBay made a change that I am not aware of?
Thanks
That item is showing as free express delivery for me, they may have changed the postcodes for which express delivery is eligible and your postcode isn't included anymore.
You can test it by going into the "Postage & Payments" section of the listing and changing the postcode to test whether free express delivery is included. It's driven by the selection of postcodes they adopt to include based on the price of shipping.
