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 

[amazonharvey]

Amazonharvey is listening I can assure you I followed your advice price
weight and courier .then went in and changed price and then eBay said
posted adjusted to SD but I will keep trying so that my boxes that are for
bigger couriers can be listed .
Just to be clear Amazonharvey is a woman ?

The steps are

1. Change price to £800

2. It then gives you weight box and dimensions. You don't need to change the weight. Change the dimensions to 62, 47 and 47 which makes it oversized, too big for simple delivery.

3. Change price back to what you want it to be.

4. Then you can add a delivery method and postage price for your oversized item.

Follow the workaround exactly, step by step. Do not do anything else but that. It is still working for everyone else so you must be doing something wrong.

For example what you said that you did is wrong - "I followed your advice price
weight and courier .then went in and changed price "

They will close the loop! 

[podlingsmum2007]

They would have to prevent all oversized items from being sold across the site. Nothing bigger than 61 by 46 by 46. That is a lot of listings!

They will close it if everyone keeps talking about it... if you know you know

Customer services /ebay recommend the workaround so they know their system is not working (for whatever logical or illogical reason)

the workaround isn’t cheating the system it’s facilitating it 

kafkaesque

Thank you for your info. I think the SD is great as long as you're not sending a small individual item. Which unfortunately I am. If I had the choice I would send my item Royal Mail 2nd class untracked which is only £1.55.  But that option has disappeared.

Surely you as a seller would like concrete proof of one of your items being delivered. Just sending basic cheapo postage means you open yourself up to tons of abuse from people saying they haven't got it. It's not even relevant having proof of postage for a claim, you need to eBay the thing has been actually received. The amount of messages I read on here of people happy to post things using just stamps in totally incredulous.

I understand that but in my particular situation, I was selling something for £1.50. So for the customer to have to pay £2.70 on top of that for postage was a bit steep. However I'm trying to get round that by letting them know they can buy multiples without any increase in postage.

I also post LL 2nd class post £1.55 at post office. You get proof of posting, I've sold over 1300 items in 14 years and can count on one hand the amount that have gone missing, if they do, I can get refund from royal mail which has easily happened with those handful.

Your para cord bracelets and keyrings are listed under categories that aren’t exempt from simple delivery 

you can list /revise and put  under women’s or men’s clothing / accessories to get custom postage 

I suppose it depends if people search categories or just type in what they are after 
ive never searched in  categories when looking for something 

I just typed in what I was looking for 

EBay make billions of dollars a year 

they can’t afford to employ someone who actually understands what they need to do and sort out custom delivery for small light under a tenner items 

poor 0/10

I send lots of small items with low values under £10. I often use large letter untracked at £1.55 or £1.80 depending on weight and very seldom have a problem. If on the odd occasion someone swears they have not received it you can sometimes bluff your way out by saying royal mail customer services say it has been delivered and sometimes that will be the end of it. If they persist I just refund them Because you won't win an open not received case and refunding someone between £5 n £10 isn't something I'm going to worry about.
