Simple Delivery does not list small parcel size so discounts buyers selecting royal mail.

Simple Delivery does not list small parcel size so discounts buyers selecting royal mail. I already have a problem with shops accepting evri parcels with just the large and heavy ones i send on a daily basis so i use royal mail for the small ones. If i start rocking up to the evri collections with 5 bags full daily i am going to be turned away. Ridiculous idea they are bringing in. Looks likely i am going to have to close my business as i do not sell enough in value to have a business shop the size i would need. Would take half of the amount i earn in a month for the fee. At the moment can use the custom option and still select what i want but i am seriously stressed about how its going to go.

I sympathise we are all very upset by the whole thing 

a good many of us will remove all our listings on the 7th or 15th 

it’s a shame I had got very proficient at posting items and supporting my local post office shop

Agree, the size and weight bandings in SD leave a lot to be desired, hopefully they will be improved on soon.

But you don't have to have a shop to be a business seller, for some people it's better to just pay for individual listings.
And surely if you are doing 5 full sacks of post a day you really don't fall into the private seller category!

I am registered as a sole trader and declare all to hmrc. I spoke to ebay and to account for the amount of listings i have i would have to have the largest shop, my items are not high value so that doesn't work unfortunately.

Ah, yes, just saw how many you have. Got lost in there for a bit, nice!

Let's hope they improve SD pretty quickly, it certainly needs some work.
