Avoiding Simple Delivery

[amazonharvey]

Hello people some one has found the opt out for SD on listing page go down to eBay new Sd click advanced settings and there will be a pop up. Click custom postage another pop up click on then all are couriers will be there as they were before this all started

I hope this remains in place as I was using it early in April. Ebay told me this option would definitely end on April 15th, and it did disappear for  a while, but now seems to be back again. Maybe Ebay are re-thinking this after all the feedback - let's hope so.

Sadly they are all now doing it guess they don't have a choice, I did check HMRC and you can sell up to £6k of your own stuff until you would get taxed.  The UK Government screwing us any way they can basically whilst costs of living sky rocket!

Well none of these tips work - my advanced options have gone!  So my workaround for these extra large items I need to send by Parcel Force is to put in Free Postage and do it myself direct - obviously I have had to increase the price of the item to cover postage which doesn't look as attractive to buyers.  If anyone else has found a work around not mentioned on here, I would love to know!

I went onto gov.uk and spoke to a tax customer service about all this ——
it’s says for small sellers like me selling there own bits as long as no
one piece is over £6000 and that’s capital gains tax so this alone will
only be a issue not selling my own collectables and bits and pieces .I
asked them why did eBay take my NI number this was if eBay told them if my
one item makes £6000 .I have just about had enough with the whole dam lot
.any one would think we are under the Mexican cartel stripping us of our
little monies we collect selling .

There is no work around anything .I put my postage on 3 to 5 days no
courier chosen .thats the only way this can be done and your chosen cost of
posting .re by-standing SD
.my buyers are asking me why I am charging them insurance on my sales .many
buyers do not have a clue its eBay not me .and I am also avoiding SD do
the Royal Mail label then go onto royal mail and book a collection for free
.I have just about had enough now after 17 yrs .oh ref to eBay taking are
NI number spoke to gov uk customer service and they said no small buyers
will pay tax selling there own bits and collectables only if one item sells
for £6000 then its capital gains tax

Extra large parcels (bigger than medium parcel) or heavier than 20g have to go custom postage
