hello every one I have read the new postage simple delivery for small private sellers like me and I am very concerned its going to be ebay who decides what courier they think I should use, and even more concerned the buyer will choose .this is hermes evri the worst couriers I have never known, I am selling my antique dolls and send them the quickest and safe with my choosen courier .fully insured and next day delivery which I have done with my items for over 17 yrs. I charge my buyers a set amount but if my box and packing goes over I pay the extra for peace of mind. and the thought of them being sent via hermes evri scares me and I would not trust them with a teddy bear, ebay must let me choose my own courier but I am told I have no choice, antiques no matter what must be sent in a manner they deserve and the simple delivery is not . simple delivery is just that for clothes shoes and not breakable .not for antiques and items of great value, I have had my dolls for over 50 years and simple delivery is not going to happen, I do not want to leave ebay but I will take my antiques some where else, so many great sellers have gone, but ebay does not take the time to ask why. ebay must look after the private sellers like me but I doubt it .the big boys are more important,

Ebay do not show a Royal Mail Small Parcel option in Simple Delivery. The lowest parcel size is Large Letter then it jumps to Medium Parcel. Where is the Royal Mail Tracked 48 SMALL Parcel?

bulky items are exempt from SD
There’s a link at the bottom of the page where you chose weight which says oversize or over heavy parcel? Click on custom delivery and go from there chosing weights and dimensions and all the heavy couriers will appear
its similar on the app too

See my post at 9.40
as an aside that option allows you to put any size and weight 😐 don’t know if it will be a workaround to SD in general
