Is Simple Delivery mandatory now ? used to be able to select custom postage option but it’s not available now. Just tried listing and Simple Delivery is the only option for postage
Solved! Go to Solution.

In theory you can turn evri off and just post with Royal Mail.

I can see your first posting.

Calm down
your original post is two posts behind this one no 558
I saw you were saying earlier I thread you have no printer or smartphone
You can now book a royal mail collection and bring a label service directly from the eBay page when you get your simple delivery label

I've found if your item listing price is lower than £10 you are still able to see the custom postage options.

I don't understand why eBay isn't listening.

Me too - July 01st must have been the cut off date for a seller to have any control over their own dispatch...have never had to use SD before and absolutely dreading listing items from now on!
Why are eBay shooting themselves in the foot with SD and even worse the 4%+ surcharge. They should be beating the competition not copying them.

It would appear that it is the eBay business model is to gain market dominance by eliminating [or at least reducing the effectiveness of] competition through whatever means possible. Once this is achieved, maximise profits by increasing fees. I have little doubt that the arrangement which they have come to with the Royal Mail and Evri, is one which is profitable to eBay - i.e. they are taking a cut.

Interesting that you mention Vinted. I recently had a login issue and their customer service replied extremely quickly, passing the issue to their technical people. The problem was resolved the next day. Try getting the same response from eBay!

Simple delivery is literally the pits! It is far from Simple and today the custom postage option has gone completely.
I've been buying & selling on ebay since 1999 and that is all about to come to an end. They have ruined what was once a great place with their desire to be a dictator.
Thank you eBay but goodbye.

Just been on the phone to them. For items over £10 ,simple delivery is mandatory. Really fed up with this.Need E bay to change their mind.

As of 1/7/25 there is not that option for over £10
