Simple delivery bulk editing to switch on?

[lordkristoff13]

Hi guys, despite it problems I do like the 'Simple Delivery' process. Is there any way to bulk edit my listing to have it switched back on?

Background : I use my phone to create listings, once I've finished the listing I need to then go to my PC and edit each listing individually, so that 'Simple delivery' is activated. Otherwise it sticks to my standard postage policy.

Yesterday while doing this, I wasn't able to switch to simple delivery, there was a message saying that simple delivery was not available for this listing. So, I updated my postage policy so the prices were more accurate and to give the buyer more options.

Unfortunately, this change has taken all of my listings using that postage policy off 'Simple delivery'. The only way I can see to put them back on simple delivery to is to go through and edit each one individually so 'Simple Delivery' is activated again.

Surely there's another way? I have 300+ listings so it's going to take forever.

I suspect it will adjust itself, as unless you are selling items that allow you to opt out of SD, it is not really possible to choose normal postage methods.

While ebay has do many glitches, it is probably a good idea to be in control yourself. Many sellers find SD expensive with all the things that can go wrong.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Hmm, it's different for me. I don't get the option of Simple delivery on the mobile app, which is why I have to then edit each listing individually on PC after I've listed them.

As soon as I update it, I get the blue banner saying 'Once you update this listing, Simple Delivery will override your domestic postage policy.' Which is what I want, but it means I have to update every single listing individually (it doesn't do this if I try to bulk edit). I've accidentally forgot to update them in the past and Simple delivery has not been available.

I see lots of complaints about Simple delivery but so far I thinks it's been a good thing, my only gripe is combined postage not being available when accepting offers on multiple items. I've had a couple of problems with delivery and ebay have been quick to sort it out with the customer.
