Simple Delivery

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 

[*manix*]

be careful - as per simple delivery`s `fees and charges 
If you don’t use the parcel size that was recommended when you created your listing, and your item exceeds the maximum size and weight of the label, you may be responsible for the extra costs to send your item. This includes the cost difference between the parcel sizes and an administration fee of £1, including VAT.

kind regards Darren,Mandy & kids.

Agree with you 100%  . with 7000  sales over the years and a good relationship with regular  buyers its a shame that its come to this .  I dont want to get involved with QR Codes or Phone apps just to despatch parcels and be bullied into Ebays  restricted use of Delivery options within their so called Simple Delivery set up. 

  I will not List anything else .  Looking at the response within the Community perhaps Ebay will realise the failing  of a system that will drive reliable established  private sellers away..........but I would not bet on it..

Meanwhile the oh so valuable sub Post Offices will go out of business and there'll be nowhere to go to get Signed For or Special Delivery!

Just used simple delivery to post a Parcelforce item owing to length. Seems to have worked, tracked. But agree, what do the post offices earn on this system? And, for this item, the price was less than standard Parcelforce rates.
BUT my annoyance seems to be you download the SimDel label then have to PAY PayPal for this. E-bay has already been paid by the purchaser for the postage and I will not be receiving this for some three months. Seems to be make, make, make everywhere possibly.

Simple Delivery currently only uses Royal Mail and Evri, not Parcelforce.  The item you sold wasn't listed with Simple Delivery which is why you had to pay for the label.

Found one of my oversized items i listed as Parcelforce is now a medium parcel ? ,i did ask CS if  this was sold it it covered as it will be oversize (over 61cm) no real answers  but saying it would only be a extra 50p/£1 but sure RM charges alot more if over the size stated ,but did tell be about the £800 workaround ,,it works but what a time waste ,

Customer service actually told you to use my workaround? I am speechless!

It is just a tiny bit mad. I sent two parcels on Monday - on delivered Thursday and the other is showing as received but still at sorting office. The one still at the sorting office was on the original listing with the normal posting. Never had this before.
