Postage Policy

Hi there. Trying to relist an item. Keeps asking for postage policy. I have followed the instructions on the selling page, I have selected royal mail & inpost. It is showing simple delivery @ £3.38. Wont let me change postage policy. Cant see an edit button. Been selling for years. Never had this problem. Plus it's a relist; I only put the thing on for the first time two weeks ago and nothing has changed. I simply want to resist it as it was.

Beginning to think should I be looking elsewhere to sell my items. Why do eBay constantly make things difficult.

Do not know if this will do what you want, add postage to price and then list as post free.

Should then allow you to post your way.

Thanks John. I did try that with one of the items....but it's still insisting on a policy regardless. I have managed to set up a "policy" which is essentially limited to UK delivery only. (That's not a real issue for me; most what I sell is small value and the costs and the bureaucracy make sending abroad too much hassle now; although I've enrolled in the ebay global shipping programme I never seem to get offered the option to use it so I've ended up with all sorts of forms etc to fill out). What's frustrating though is that eBay then says that 'Simple Delivery' over-rides any policy for domestic shipping. So basically I've spent half an hour setting up my own "policy" in order to put something in a box that eBay is then going to over-ride anyway. And over-ride it with what I wanted in the first place. It's becoming a weird kafkaesque world using eBay nowadays!
