Postage

On my selling account, why have Ebay changed many of my postage prices?

I always list with buyer paying at, for example £2.75 Royal Mail. 

Today, I've noticed some have changed to collection only, others have had postage reduced to £1.55.

I can go in and change them back to what  I originally set but who the hell gave Ebay the authority to change them in the 1st place, it certainly wasn't me 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

It's probably due to eBay's new Simple delivery.    Details here:

If so you can opt out of it during the listing/revising process.   Look for the Custom Postage option.

I understand the thing with simple delivery, which is ch I always opt out of when looking for sting but I want to know how and why Ebay have changed my pricing without my authority.

I have opted out of simple delivery and changed to custom postage but EBay STILL insists on changing my prices.  I want to charge £1 for a letter - EBay changes that to £1.20.    Why?  I’ve been a member since 1998.   This will stop me using EBay.

My new listings have had postage time changed to 2 days to post with SD by Ebay.  I can no longer use custom postage as it no longer appears, even using the trick of switching between collection and posting. Have had to opt out of Evri as not offering door to door but this increases the postage price. 

Yodel was good for heavy / bulky boxes at doing to door for a reasonable price. So Ebay, not Simple at all.

What sort of parcels do you send?  Evri door-to-door is more expensive than RM, eg a 1kg parcel is £4.30 with Evri and a 2kg one is £5.78.  Royal Mail charge the same for either weight but the price varies on size: a Small Parcel costs £3.45 or a Medium £5.15.  Even when you add RM's 30p collection fee it's still less.
