Yet another simple postage question

[gary-seven]

Hi all, just so I can understand this, all of my (private seller) listings are low cost pin badges and are offered with free 2nd class postage.
Have I got to edit all my existing listings and adjust postage costs accordingly to comply with simple postage?

I think ebay will do the changing for you.   On their info it says:

Simple Delivery will apply to new eligible listings by private sellers in the UK, and from 7 April to any existing listings that are eligible.  If you selected buyer-paid postage, this will stay the same when your listings are updated.

I might be wrong but that sounds to me like it's going to happen automatically.   If not then happy days while it lasts.

Thanks for the reply.

I have spoken to ebay C/S since posting and was told my existing listings will stay the same and I won't have to do anything. But then he said simple postage will just apply to all of those listings automatically. I did say so I will have to absorb the difference between 2nd class and Tracked 48 postage cost then and he didn't understand what I meant.

I explained all my listings are low value and I state free UK postage via RM 2nd class large letter which costs me £1.55,  and asked can I still post via this 2nd class method and he said yes first of all then seemed to say not so I'm not sure I got a clear answer. I also queried why the discounted Royal Mail Tracked 48 postage costs more via eBay than it did before when Evri is removed from carrier options and got no reply.

I also queried the excluded low value item listings and he said he assumed it would mean £2 or £3 listings, so looks like there isn't a definative answer there either.

Doesn't look like this was very well thought out this one.
