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!

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!

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.

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
