CUSTOM POSTING QUERY

[crn303]

Why can’t I list an item (vintage postcard) under custom postage so I can arrange own first class letter posting  with local post office ? It is letter size and well under 100g.

I get a pop up saying I need to select delivery service !!

Any help / reply would be appreciated.  Thanks

Are you not getting the "Switch to Advanced options" link?   You get a Simple Delivery pop-up after clicking on that but another link to switch to advanced options is on the pop-up.   Then you get the Custom Postage tab.

If you mean you enter the postage details and then they disappear and you have to input them again and they disappear again 

there’s a thread called postage …someone else was getting this too

i reckon it’s because eBay have changed their system from yesterday …something about  changing  how letters and large letters are shown ..don’t ask me what they mean but anyway 

they forgot to switch the oven on 

if you change it to padded envelope it retains the postage

it will come up with 1.55 or something but

you can then alter the postage price to envelope rates (under where it says seller pays or buyer pays)

I believe that should be ok under the rules

Having the same issue as crn303

Custom delivery option "Royal Mail 2nd Class Letter" selected to send postcard with free delivery for purchaser, gets the following error message and postcard is not listed 

"Looks like something is missing. Please fix any issues and try again." with Delivery service link.

I have tried all Custom delivery variations and listing will only start if I select a 'Simple Delivery' option at 2.74  I'm still offering free delivery, but am concerned that purchasers will be annoyed when postcard arrives by 2nd class post and not tracked.

It doesn’t like letter post does it ?

tried to submit a listing and I got the same red error messages

one was to amend their recommended buy it now price to at least 99p

the other is the delivery option

The only way I could get it to list (as live listing) was to chose,padded envelope and then edit the postage from £1.55 to 87p

also when you start a listing just type “postcard “ , hit the search button and chose “continue without match”…(you don’t want to end up with a copy of someone else’s postage or get a simple delivery page default )

it should  default to custom postage with Royal Mail letter options
