So-called "Simple Delivery" significantly more expensive.

Forced into using "Simple Delivery". I can no longer use the courier that is on my doorstep and the cheapest for buyers. Have just listed an item. There are NO options for cheaper postage on smaller items. I checked Royal Mail website. It would have cost me only £1.80 for postage using the old system. Now £2.70 with Simple Delivery....and drop-off at the courier no longer a hop and skip from my front door. Can't understand why this has been changed.

It has been a change not welcomed by many,  you are not alone.

 

It's here to stay , however,  it's worth reading eBay's Announcements,  tab at top left of this main forum page,  as updates for Simple Delivery are constantly changing ,  hard to keep up with this sometimes ! 

 

Royal Mail and Evri currently,  are the only postal services on offer, but eBay tell us other couriers are being considered

 

A recent update from eBay in their Announcements said this,  about low weight items:

 

New small parcel options

We'll be introducing new parcel size options for Simple Delivery to provide you with a lower price point for small parcels from 0-2kg. Along with this, we’ll be implementing a price match for Royal Mail small parcels, ensuring you receive the best possible rates.

 

This about drop off places for couriers:

 

Pick up at any Evri parcel shop or locker

In the past, you could only drop off your items at Evri parcel shops. To make the shopping experience better and more convenient for your buyers, we’re introducing a new collect from store option at Evri parcel shops and lockers in the coming weeks. This will reduce the delivery cost for your buyers and make your items look more appealing, helping to increase the likelihood of a sale. Your buyers will be able to collect their items from the Evri parcel shop or locker of their choice. 

 

Case of .... ' watch this space! ',  for further changes ! 😐
