With millions of letters and parcels undelivered today and the dispute showing no sign of easing, online businesses are looking elsewhere for parcel delivery.

There are concerns the strike action may severely damage the Royal Mail’s relationship with Ebay.

It’s promising to support customers in finding alternatives to Royal Mail, which is normally heavily promoted on the website. Now it is suggesting other carriers and arranging discounts for customers.

The message to buyers from Ebay is it is business as usual – the only difference is it’s without Royal Mail.

Parcel2Go.com is an approved Ebay partner service and will collect from your home or work address.
