Simple postage costs

Hello People

After having a 7" vinyl single returned (because it was the wrong size? - yep, really)

Anyway - whilst relisting same item, it seems I am now going to be charged £2.70 for "Simple delivery" when it will only normally cost me £1.55.

I offer free postage.

So now I'm going to be losing an extra £1.15 whilst Ebay skim off the top.

Q - How do I opt out of Simple delivery

Cheers

Simple Delivery is now mandatory and is being rolled out to all listings across the site.

It looks as if you can't opt out if you are selling vinyl records - see the list below and check the link.

 

From 15 April, Simple Delivery is the only delivery method available for private sellers who list eligible items on eBay.co.uk. We'll be introducing this change in phases over the coming weeks.

The option to opt out and select Custom postage instead will only be available for letter-sized items in the specific categories below that are priced £10 and under. The £10 limit applies to the item price only and excludes the Buyer Protection Fee.
