How to send a price to somebody who has made an offer on 2 or more items?
Somebody sent me a message offering a price for 2 items I have listed as buy it now. I can't seem to find any way to send them a price to accept for the 2 items. The only way seems to be if they message me independently about both items, I can then s...

Is Simple Delivery mandatory now ? used to be able to select custom postage option but it’s not available now. Just tried listing and Simple Delivery is the only option for postage
NO LONGER SELLING DUE TO SIMPLE DELIVERY
AS OF 15TH APRIL MY DAYS AS A PRIVATE EBAY SELLER WILL STOP AFTER 19 YEARS.I AM FED UP OF THE GREED OF EBAY AND I HOPE OTHER EBAY SELLERS DECIDE TO NO LONGER LET THE EBAY CONTROL FREAKS HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL OVER PRIVATE SELLERS.
STILL no SD Outsize parcel option
I can't believe eBay STILL hasn't put the large size item option in Simple Delivery. It is unbelievable. The NATIONAL MAX DIMENSION FOR EVRI IS ONE METRE. Did eBay actually negotiate a contract exclusively for smaller parcels? I'm beginning to think ...
Simple delivery is awful
I list a few things on ebay occasionally, but this new simple delivery is just rubbish for sellers. It assumes that ebay actually know the size and weight of items And that everyone can easily get to Evri or other courier services easily. Why did the...
PROMOTING LISTINGS
I am unsure, whether I should promote my listings again. Do promoted listings still work for you after changes by ebay in the last few months? Did it bring you more sales?
How do you list anything bigger than 61cm? Part two.
Haven't had much time on this yet but first attempts with this new listing format today is like this to get back to your own carrier who will take your large/small items, (preview works, not tested with listing): Still start with over £750 - £800 is ...
Resolved! Simple Delivery more expensive for letters & large letters
With custom postage being rolled out and eventually the only option, I am a little confused and trying to clarify something please. If I am posting something of large letter size, less than 100 grams and low value - a DVD in it's case for example, I ...
Revising a Listing.
Hello all. Is anybody else having trouble revising their listings? Problem started yesterday for me. I get the usual layout but nothing further after 'Pricing' section. No 'Delivery' section of listing at all. When I change my price it says 'Couldn't...
Simple Delivery - no way to opt out for small low value items.
Just to add & clarify some of the various posts on the lack of an opt out on the Simple Delivery for low value items under £10 & 100g. As of Friday there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to avoid the Simple Delivery.I've tried a range of methods - ...
Opt out Simply Delivery
Confused by this. Because when listing there is no way, that I could see, to opt out of Simple Delivery yet their FAQ claims if you don't want to use it and want to get your own labels then opt out when you list. Again, I tried but they made it impos...
Includes a battery
So, with the new massively flawed Simple Delivery, I sent an item off today using that *bleep* system. Got to the Post Office and if I know the item has a battery in, before they even ask I tell them. They then put the battery sticker on. Today howev...
