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?

i agree. I will never use EVRI to send anything, their delivery service to here is horrific. Its a block of flats, with an entryphone, but EVRI leave parcels in the street, outside the front door, they don't bother ringing he bell but dump things in the insecure lobby. We even have a sign in the lobby now waring that things left there will be stolen, but they send so-called delivery photos showing items abandoned right by the sign.
Trying ti g and get the item as fast as possible often doesn't work, 15 minutes and they are stolen - sometimes so fast I even wonder if the ERI guy is taking them.
No other delivery service seems to have this problem.

No. SD is not cheaper than Vinted. The prices that someone here used for comparison isn't the prices I see when on vinted. Because you have many options for delivery services on there. And its even more cheaper if you have it sent to shop or lockers, which is more convenient for me.
Evri completely suck, there's so much dodgy workers stealing items there. They take on RM deliveries and Evri have to bring in agency staff. These people steal the parcels. So I'll never use them again.
Someone said that ebay now take responsibility for delivery. The thing is, that people pay 'buyers protection' for this reason. Even before that it didn't make a difference because if an item goes missing, ebay would step in to force a refund.
The only reason ebay has themselves contracted with evri and RM is that they are taking a cut from the postage you pay. Ebay will have business rates with RM. So when you buy your label for £2.70 say. You're not directly paying RM. You are buying an already prepaid label from ebay that bought the label for less. They are acting like a travel agent who sells you holidays they bought. Only ebay sell you postage labels.
It's a big scam

When you get switched over ( which started on 06/08/25 ) to the latest listing fiasco I have a new workaround - https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Seller-Central/How-do-you-list-anything-bigger-than-61cm-Part-two/m-...
This is yet more faffing around but works - I have listed with it.

It is all thanks to Rick who has devised the workarounds. I'm just helping to spread it 🙂
