Having to opt out of Simple Delivery on EVERY LISTING

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?

Re: Having to opt out of Simple Delivery on EVERY LISTING

Well what a pleasant surprise this weekend. I end and relist all my items as "sell similar" every Sunday. Ebay still haven't caught up with me and forcing me to use SD on my selling account, but I have had to change all my listings from SD to advanced settings when doing this over the last few months. However on Sunday I didn't have to do this as all my listings on my selling account stayed on advanced settings when relisting.

 

It would be nice to think that maybe ebay were quietly doing a bit of backtracking on SD, but I doubt it somehow and at some point in the not to distant future I'll eventually have it forced on me. However when that day comes I'll be off.

Try Vinted - people can choose own postage payment. Thanks.
Complain to ebay on their complaints section. I got a reply but told them I wouldn't list anything until they changed it.

I'm on today and it's no longer giving me the opt out option. Simple option only.

Me too since nearly 2 weeks ago. Oh well... we have to suck it up or give up. I'll suck it up! You just have to ensure your weights and dimensions are correct as it reflects in what Ebay charge the buyer for postage.
