https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Seller-Central/Listed-as-Large-Letter-but-Packaging-now-makes-it-Small-Parcel/m-p/7962440#M762979 <P>&nbsp; &nbsp;This situation is my eternal problem with simple delivery. I mostly sell books and a large number of them, when in a proper cardboard mailer, are borderline large letter / small parcel. I can't tell till they are packaged. In the good old days, it was ridiculous how delighted I was when my item would fit within that magical 2.5 cm depth limit, and therefore pass as a large letter, saving me a few pennies, lol. Now, due to simple delivery I have to set nearly all of them as parcel, out of caution, because you can't modify the label later. Since I cover the postage myself, in an attempt to retain a degree of control over it, the excess postage fees I have paid (for parcels that actually pass as large letter) is getting annoying.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp; Plus, at a width of say 2.7 cm and under 400g, they are often one of the smallest items in the dreaded parcel bag. Before anyone asks, I can't play dumb, because my post office scans that market place bar-code, yet still insists on checking the weight and dimensions of my items. In terms of paying for new postage and claiming the unused simple delivery postage back, I know the procedure, but has anyone actually been refunded for a SD label for a posted item ? All I see are countless posts saying the answer is no. Now, don't get me started on what happens to the postage when a buyer buys multiple items, lol</P> Tue, 25 Nov 2025 03:54:35 GMT neovass0 2025-11-25T03:54:35Z
