Simple Delivery… so bad

[xrischris]

Just used simple delivery.  Words fail me to say how rubbish it is.  No choice, rubbish estimating of cost.  The use of Royal Mail 2nd Class is diabolical don’t eBay know how unreliable and slow that service is in the UK. Resulting in slower payments for goods sold and slower refunds.  Monies in eBay’s bank for longer and fed up-off purchasers, who can blame them.

Simple Delivery doesn't use RM 2nd class though 👀

Indeed not.  The choices are between Evri and Tracked 24/48 — the Buyer chooses if they want a fast expensive service or a slower cheaper one.  In my experience Tracked 48 works very well.

As for the estimations of weight/size they can work in your favour as, providing you don't over-rule the Recommendation, e-Bay will honour the price even if it's too low.
