Postage weights

This not the first time this has happened.  I ordered a label, checked the box was showing up to 100 g, and 

downloaded the label. However, it showed a weight of 1g, so I cancelled the label, scrapped the envelope,  and tried again.  This time the actual label showed  1g again. So, I cancelled the label and scrapped the enveloped again.  OK, I should have checked the label was correct.   I did not try again. I used a stamp.

 

That was just a basic  2nd class stamp.  It has happened before on larger letters too.  Why can E Bay not show an automatic up to 100g on an ordinary letter, and up to 750g on a Track48 Royal Mail letter.   Is this beyond the wit of those who have designed the system.  Under what circumstances does a Track24 or 48 letter need to show less than 750g, and when can an ordinary  letter actually weigh 1g or less ?

Postage weights

I've used RM UK & International postage for years and I always enter the size & weight of the package on the advert when listing.

The RM postage labels I purchase via eBay are usually shown correct before I purchase, but I always double check as no system is perfect.
