Why has Royal Mail postage for 0~2 kg Royal Mail under simple delivery gone up by 20p?

Anyone know?

all my listings have been changed to 3.64 with zero notification from eBay as to why 

is it a secret? Or is it a glitch ? 

ws ok using sd as they charged the normal rate of 3.45 so even if buyer didn’t get 20% saving lol it was ok

now it’s more so what’s the justification ?

It appears to be a glitch.  The price for Royal Mail small parcel up to 2Kg and medium parcel up to 1Kg is actually supposed to be decreasing to £3.38 from next Tuesday:

 

'Starting 20 May, we’ll be introducing additional small parcel sizes and new competitive postage rates.'

 

For items sold between £0-100

@edwardian-dreams I've just been charged £5.15 for up to 2kg postage (I opt to pay for postage)! When I created the listing yesterday (15/05), it clearly stated £3.44 for SD, sold the item yesterday, created the label this morning, and paid and extra £1.71. I've posted about it here

My SD postal charges appear to have returned to normal, but am now dreading having to go through each listing again next week, if/when the new Small Parcel category is introduced. There doesn't appear to be the facility to Bulk Edit Simple Delivery options 🤷‍
