Auto relist postage

[fletchlewis]

I've got over 600 items listed. Most on auto relist until sold. I've noticed that when they get relisted lately they have changed the postage options. Everything is basically relisted as under 20kg standard postage. When i come to change the postage back I'm only given 2 options. Does this mean i have to check and redo all of my items? Please say this has an easy solution.

The new buyer protection changes for private sellers means additional postage is added by ebay.

With that amount of listings you have, if you upgrade to a business account to comply with ebay policies, you wouldn't be subjected to the buyer protection changes,as Buisness sellers are exempt.

Not sure what your problem is, when I look at your listings, they all seem to be Freepost, which to me leaves it up to you just to specify the service. Weight hardly comes into it.

Buyers pay the asking price, including the new additional fees, you just carry on as normal. Just in my opinion make your own decisions and do not let ebay push you into using their postage choices.

Hi Thanks for your reply 

I do all postage free yes, but i still have to state to ebay what postage i will be using for each item as the buyer will want to know expected delivery dates, whether they have to sign for  the item etc and I've always assumed ebay use the postage paramotors to estimate global shipping prices for size and weight. So i dont want to under or over estimate shipping costs as this will effect  their fees.

Apparently it was something to do with postage policies, which i have now opted out of. I didnt know I was opted in. This still doesn't seem to make any difference so I'm going round in circles. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas what else i could try.
