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?

Hi I have not listed anything since they introduced the Simple Delivery.
Just realised if you buy something you will have to pay the new charge.
Vinted for me from now on,
Hope you have more luck than me,

I haven't sold anything since they switched as they changed all of my listings to simple delivery and the buyer now pays 2.94 for items i used to send with an envelope and stamp as the smallest option they have is up to 1Kg and costs 2.94, used to cost around £1.10.

No point in selling now, Ebay is useless to me now.

I recently sold a metal detector weighing over 3kgs. Ebay forced me to use Evri and a postage label that said a maximum of 1kg. It actually got delivered. I have just sold a second detector, weighing a similar amount and this time eBay let me use my own postage. Just a little confusing to say the least.
