eBay

I have used Simple Delivery a lot for sending small value item weighing 50gm. Previously when I went to buy a label I could select weight and enter "under 100gm". This changed the cost from £2.72 to £1.55.
But in past few days when I go to label, eBay immediately produces the label without allowing me to view or change weight. I am charged £2.72.
Also, I offer free postage, but eBay shows "Buyer Selected 24 Tracked Delivery".
This has happened on all recent sales. So I have to buy postage direct from Royal Mail.

Thanks for the comment. But you misunderstand. I LIKE Simple Delivery. It has worked well for months. But suddenly they have removed the option to set the weight. So the minimum weight is !kg.
Changing to a business Account(I have looked into this) would avoid me having to use Simple Delivery. BUT I WANT TO USE SIMPLE DELIVERY. I wish they would put back the option to set a lower weight for Large Letter post.

It looks as if you have monetised a hobby and should now have a business account.

Business sellers don't have to use Simple Delivery so changing your account (and trading legally) will eliminate issues you are having with Simple Delivery.
