Having to opt out of Simple Delivery on EVERY LISTING

[zax93]

OK so listing some items tonight

good news first - even though Simple Delivery is now being pushed I can opt out to custom settings and select my standard shipping rates

bad news - I have to opt out of Simple Delivery every time I list even though I am listing similar items. Really? 

This is from ebay itself:  You can opt out of Simple Delivery when you're creating your listing by selecting Custom Postage from the delivery options. If you'd prefer not to use Simple Delivery at all in the future, you'll need to opt out each time this programme is recommended when you're creating listings.

I mean what does that last sentence mean anyway?

They told me the system is temporarily showing too high a cost, but “costs will be remoulded by 14th April”. Similarly the different missing postage weight categories will be rectified.. similarly the incorrect information as to whether it’s free postage showing in your summary… Why on earth would they roll something out before it’s right?

I'm really looking forward to 70p Second Class Letter Post with the Royal Mail... I'm sure eBay have struck a great deal for us lol

I too am having this problem, it's quite tedious, any solution yet?

I have found that if I do as someone recommended then it works , you have to click on collection only then done then click on shipping again and the other options will appear .

If it’s true that we can continue to opt out why the messages saying SD will be the only way to post from 15 April  

apart from a couple exemptions

ebay

The company who doesn’t know what their policies are , might be, will be, were

well, it’s kind of eclectic I suppose haha

The new Royal mail large letter price is £2.70 and up to 1 kg ? simple delivery is still shown 750g and £2.74 ,

They have been very quick to impose DS on us ( iam still opting out) so why is it taking so long to fix ? no update from Ebay or apology's (this would be a first)

Got an email stating from 15 April SD will be the only option… feeling sad

They are going to lose A LOT of sellers and a lot of money if that’s the case. Can you even get acknowledgement of delivery via the simple delivery service. Isn’t it just tracked rather than signed for?

[edwardian-dreams]

But it won’t be

there are many workarounds to try and about four categories of items that are exempt 

low priced under a tenner light under 100g items for letter and large letter size 

oversize items or overweight items ie over 20kg or over medium size parcel

restricted items ie China glass perfumes for the evri lot

expensive over 750 quid items 

all these you can your postage however you want with who you want at any price you want 

if they impose it draconianly and I don’t believe their system can do this or even that they actually want to then a lot ore people will stop selling because the basic fact of the matter is there is little  benefit to sellers but a lot of financial benefit to eBay 

I might have to revise my opinion in a week let’s see
