Am I only one cancelling orders due to wrong postage?

The new delivery system is really broken and causing a lot of issues, for me anyway. 

 Today I had to cancel the 4th order in 3 weeks, because ebays simple delivery gives me the wrong label and theres no way of voiding or printing another. I have been on phone to ebay twice about this now and advice both times was to cancel order and pursuade buyer to buy again. Not one of them has rebought and i dont blame them. Its insanity that ebay cant change the label. 

 

I have opted out of royal mail in my delivery settings. If this worked, it would be awesome, id have no issues, as royal mail are the root of all my problems. Yet despite opting out, my postage labels STILL keep printing as royal mail! And theres no way to check what the label will be before printing it! And also no way to void it or redo it once its done. What the hell kind of system is this?

 

Royal Mail will not accept ebays dimensions. For example, ebay defaults to a large letter for DVD box sets etc! It is obviously not going to fit in a letter! This is not an issue with Evri, because for Evri, anything from a small letter up to a medium parcel is a flat rate.

 

Now I know that some will say "you should enter the delivery dimensions etc yourself", or "you need to do custom postage". Yes, I agree. And thats what I will do. But...

 

Simple delivery is soon becoming mandatory. 

 

Simple delivery is advertised as the "simple" option when it isnt. 

 

If ebay are going to offer and recomend their own service, and advise you to use it, they should make sure it works. And ok, if theres some teething pains at first, thats fine, lets work through them. But they dont, they just advise you to cancel order? Ive lost a hundred quid now cus of this. 

 

I shouldnt have to cancel entire orders just because of the wrong label. That is madness. I feel like im going mental. Am I the only one having issues? I nearly put my head through my car window when I seen that they f'ed it up again today.

We are all suffering everyone is losing sales, we can't invoice people, simple delivery will be the end for most of us if we are forced to use it. I'm not listing anything new took it all off then put some back on. Have made 1 sale in 2 weeks, it's dead and gone. Listing elsewhere now but that hasn't taken off yet and might not do. They just don't want us here and it would have been better just to officially dump private sellers than put us all through this nightmare.

Quick question do you input the package weight, size and dimensions at point of listing.?

I shouldnt have to. Because as I said, Evri uses the same label wether its a large envelope or a medium parcel, and I have opted out of using royal mail. So if it worked as it should, it would print me an Evri label, and the dimensions wouldnt matter.

 

I struggle to understand how its simple delivery if I have to manually input the dimensions etc every time. Also, simple delivery costs more! I definitely will never be using it again. Thanks for your response.

It's every listing, where else do you think they pull that data from.

In you listing you state royal mail do not match ebays dimensions, so was wondering if you use that part of the listing.

good luck to you
