Is the option to offer untracked Royal Mail 2nd class coming back?

I sell things, trading cards for example, which sometimes sell for £1.

Buyers are content to have them sent untracked. Unsurprisingly, because this costs 87p. Some people buy more than one and they all go in one envelope.

The cheapest tracked is £2.70.

That’s £8.10 for three! A big jump from 87p.

Do you not get the option to use ADVANCED POSTAGE when listing and choice of method. You should not have to use “simple” postage.

switch to advanced  see below

Here's eBay's announcement for items under the value of £10;

More about the items which will and won’t use Simple Delivery

• Items which can still use untracked service: There are a few categories of items where we’ll still permit untracked services if that’s your preference. This includes letter-sized items that meet both of the following criteria: they weigh up to 100 grams and are priced at a maximum of £10, excluding buyer fees.

Why happens is…

the offer for custom postage is there, but when I select it, it disappears from the listing on desktop (making it look like I haven’t selected a postage option). On the app? You can select it, it all looks good and well… until you finish listing. You’re then told no postage service haven’t been selected.

 
I have found the solution. Use simple postage and select “other carrier with no tracking.”
