How do you list anything bigger than 61cm? Part two.

[3942rick2005]

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 easy enough.

Weight - go to 40Kg as this will be above the 30Kg DHL will supposedly take when they come on board soon.

Dimensions - put these high enough to surpass the DHL 120cm x 80cm x 80cm size limit.

This ensures that the package is oversized.

At the end is an option for cash on collection - who knows if this will work in practice?

The annoying part is having to create postage policy and payment policy now.

Anyone up for trying it out - I haven't got time to find something to list right now to check it out for proof of working - family business taking my time at present. A bit of a faff around again😎

Create a postage policy:

Select postage method, small to medium items appears to suffice here, the oversize reappears at the end:

Add primary service - up to 4 possible. Buyer pays or free again, you can include your packaging in the cost here:

Immediate payment or CASH ON COLLECTION selection!

If rick's methods aren't working it's because you haven't created a postage policy. If you can't find how to add a postage policy, it's because you haven't opted in to business policies.

Here's where you opt in to 'business policies' as a private seller:

You can then create a postage policy from there.

I set mine to use Parcelforce and set the price to £15. When I looked at the listing, eBay had changed this to £18.  I have no idea if this is a 'Buyer Protection Fee' (seems oddly round if so), a bug, or eBay choosing to take £3 because I didn't want to use Simple Delivery.

Oh goodie.

That worked for about 5 seconds until I tried to revise the item.
