Option to send invoices disappeared

[s2000king_123]

Option on sold listings to ‘send payment details’ has disappeared and I’m unable to send people invoices for combined orders like I normally do. I did a live chat with customer service, but I don’t really think they knew what I was talking about.

I have buyers waiting to pay, but are reluctant to pay for the entire postage cost in one go and have me refund due to the amount of money they would have in limbo. 

anybody else having the same problem? Anyone at eBay able to confirm it’s being looked into so I can tell my buyers?

I can still choose my own postage I think I read somewhere that if it's under a certain amount you can customise postage

Opt out of simple postage will sort issue

'Opt out of simple postage will sort issue'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some sellers *cannot* opt out of S.D! 

S.D. will become compulsory for all private sellers , once ebay manage it.

(It's being rolled out in a very 'lumpy' fashion with some sellers and some categories *in,* and some *out*..... ebay are determined that it'll be 'all in' in the end....🙁)

OK so after recently only being able to list with SD I am now back to being able to list custom again - what the *bleep* is going on?

Ebay making a total dogs-dinners of the whole 'rolling-out' thing, is what's going on!

 All the mixed messages and missed dates and confused answers from ebay staff are keeping a little misplaced hope alive in me, and I'm sure in many others.

That tiny little flicker of hope is bound to be crushed, once ebay sort their s**t out, and I just wish they'd flippin' well get it over with......

You can’t price a light item that goes in an envelope in custom delivery for 1st or 2nd class postage…it disappears your delivery choices 

been broken for days on end 

It allows special delivery though!

these  are the basics 

something’s gone wrong IMO when they changed the way letter/large letter was displayed …it’s in one of the announcements ..been happening since last week

so if you want to send a postcard for 87p you can only do it if you chose padded envelope , then have to faff and edit the postage cost 

im sure it will be alright on the night though…whenever that is 

[yoganutvmw]

Why do you need to tell ebay what type of envelope your using if the price is correct

[yoganutvmw]

There all ways was a option to opt out of sd when listing item by clicking on advance and select the custom box started about week after sd came on line

You are late to the party !

This has been an issue for a very long time. eBay say they are aware of the issue and working on it,  but they're sure taking their time over this one!

eBay suggest buyers buy all items,  and then the seller makes a partial refund for the excess postage paid.

Not ideal,  I know.

Some members have started putting a note on their items,  stating anyone wishing to buy multiple items to let them know first,  the items will be delisted,  and relisted as one listing,  therefore one postage cost.

Hmm not aware of that yet . when listing item should have section under simple delivery saying advance option click that, select custom box and then you can select your own postage option and price

[oldgeezer3345]

it's simple enough, just takes a bit of finding!

In an email I had from eBay on 2nd April it says...

Starting from 15 April, Simple Delivery will be the only delivery method available for private sellers when listing most items.

Maybe that hasn't happen yet, I haven't listed anything new for a while, but that suggests, as has been said here before, eBay's long term goal is to make simple delivery the only option for private sellers.

So enjoy these workarounds while they last.

Yeah been a problem for weeks now 

Ebay did give some buyers an instruction but it didnt work
