What is the item? Perhaps it doesn't qualify for SD?
Otherwise , try a little later, it may just reappear, or switch devices, if using the app try a laptop / PC and Chrome see if that shows Simple Delivery.

Lots of items are not eligible for Simple Delivery - cigarette lighters is one item that comes to mind.
What are you trying to list?

As well as the published criteria the item has to be in a qualifying category, these are not published.

If the parcel meets the published criteria I do not understand why E Bay have an unpublished criteria for simple delivery that seems quite ridiculous to me? What’s the point in that?

Ebay wants people to use simple delivery and it doesn't want them choosing the wrong category in order to get the exemption. So they don't publish the categories.
If books is an exempt category then custom postage will be an option on the listing form.
