OK. Simple delivery will override your domestic postage policy. It's here

Just tried to list an item. Can't put free postage option. It's simple delivery or nothing. They're just making this even more complicated now.

Hello

Woulds you please let meknow where I can locate the advance postage option.

This new simple postage is not simple.

Thank you

Like you I think its only a matter of time before it comes to the Business section...that should be a laugh if nothing else

That post was made in march

things are very different now…there aren’t advanced options anymore 

if you’re lucky your listing, if exempt from simple delivery ****will default to custom postage options

It all depends on what you’re selling and if the system is working properly without glitches, for that category 

**** exempt for

-items under 100g that are £10 and under and that fit into an envelope or LL and in certain categories see list below

- Over 20kg or over medium size parcel 

- over £750

-restricted items (not sure what these are)

lastly, if your item is exempt but custom postage isn’t appearing you can use this workaround

Thank you for you reply

I am a private seller. Few jigsaws now and then. Nothing earth shattering.

I cannot put down 2nd class + tracking and £3.49 postage

Do you think ebay will change the rules anytime soon

That you

[edwardian-dreams]

I don’t know if they will change the rules, I’m just another poster 

Not sure what you mean by you can’t charge  £3.46

for jigsaws eBay under their new rules for private sellers will charge the buyer (or seller if they chose free postage) £3.38 for tracked 48 RM postage for small parcel 0-2kg

or £3.64 for medium size parcel 0-1kg

if your jigsaws are 1-2kg medium parcel they will cost £5.15

you have the choice what size and weight to put on the listing 

but for example if eBay recommend a 1kg small parcel and your item is actually bigger then you won’t have to pay more , just use the label they give you 

either way simple delivery is cheaper or the same as buying the post from RM direct or going to the post office to buy it 

you don’t lose out anything except if you pay for your packaging
