Simple Delivery rip-off

[rogerday]

Simple Delivery is now the default setting but it is possible to opt out of Simple Delivery by selecting "Switch to Advance Options".  Why is Ebay pushing this?  

Simple, Ebay gets a discount on the postage and creams off some of the cost the buyer pays. The seller gets nothing to cover packaging and other costs like driving to the post office because home collection is not offered with Simple delivery. My advice is OPT OUT OF SIMPLE DELIVERY

have to suck it up that buyers will be paying £2.70 but at least they have rejigged the buyers premium. Also this week the have speeded up the payments . But my old £2.00 item plus £2.00 P&P now costs the buyer £4.90 it had a big effect on my sales

Hi thanks for the response but do you know how to actually opt out of
simple delivery for items less than the 200g? I've got a lot of items for
sale where delivery was set at £1.55 but now its almost £3. My customers
are unlikely to pay that for something I'm selling for £1/£2.

There is an issue , a long standing one,  that Custom Postage is not showing for items which are exempt from Simple Delivery,  namely oversize or lightweight items.

There are 2 workarounds that work, links below.  They may show how to deal with an oversize item, but you can adapt, and use it for lightweight items,  too.

or from the link below, another workaround is offered:
