Check your postage prices as Simple Delivery has lots overpriced could be why sales are so poor

Hi Guys. I would suggest every body checks their adverts and checks what the simple delivery postage has been set for you eBay. A lot of my stuff which is either large letter or small parcel appears to have been put as medium parcel at over £5 postage. This could be one of the reasons sales are very low at the moment. Just a heads up for everyone. Stay Safe out there. Ed

That's a good tip! Do you know you could decrease your postage further by using Custom Postage as a lot of your items are under £20? eBay recently increased this from £10, but your items will not be Tracked and 2nd Class gets slower and slower between now and mid-December.

Can you explain how can we do that? All my items are below 10 and I have no there option just SD,

See what your advert says for the postal price. Lots of mine somehow were at medium parcel when they should have been large letter or small parcelSent from my Galaxy

Thanks. But I prefer the safety of tracked. Slowly getting used to SD.

Only certain categories are eligible for custom postage, if an item is, it will show when listing, but it is just a very small number that do.

You are able to change the price if it is wrong, when you are completing the listing, I have had to do it a few times. I have also had to increase the postage, when it has clearly been too low.

When listing now with Simples Delivery you have to check:

1.  The size of the item and change it when listing it as eBay defaults to larger / more expensive postage.

2. Make sure you have your preferences ticked for Royal Mail or both.

3.  Make sure your dispatch window is checked - it defaults to 2 days!  Even when the original listing is set at 3 days.

4.  Make sure you check the box which states Buyer Pays / Seller Pays.  It changes when relisting as sell similar.

5.  Only certain categories have the option of custom postage.🙄

Every day is a school day!
