Simple Delivery

[colcoo-616]

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

Had not realised that jewellery was not included in SD.

I just had a look at jewellery but also jewellery findings in st silver, the findings can go simple delivery but the made up jewellery in st silver is custom postage, it doesn't suggest a specific service. But even cheap costume jewellery doesn't seem to go via SD, that's a surprise...

Simple delivery states no extra charge for collection by Royal Mail but when I go to book it there is a charge of 30p?

[incredible_how]

Did you do that via the Royal Mail site or via eBay?

I've just arranged a collection and the label to come with postie and no extra charge.

Clicked on get label, and the box on the right has a link something like: need to make a booking, click on that. And should get a box with the day of collection (cut off in the evening is earlier than when using the RM site). I then click a print label button but don't print it! It seems to need the click on label to make it work. It didn't work the first time I used it...

screen shots of process as just done another. click need courier collection in right hand box

confirm or choose day

then the get prepaid label or qr code changes to get prepaid label and click on that. 

the first time I did it it didn't work. But since hen has been fine, but it does seem to need to click on prepaid label...

I write address on package.

I did print out the next two times and postie said, yes, most that he had collected from other people had not needed his label! I

By ebay. When I clicked on arrange a collection it took me to the Royal mail website unlike last time I did it when it stayed on ebay. I cannot keep up with ebay there always seems to be some sort of issue going on.

When I had something still listed without SD and I went to buy the label via eBay there was a charge and it took me to RM website. Sounds like a glitch, which is frustrating. Did you let eBay know?

Yes I asked how something that had to be listed using sd (clothing which has been mandatory for some time) could suddenly use packlink. There was nothing to suggest it wasn't sd, I didn't have to enter any size/weight when purchasing the label - I didn't know anything about it until I got the excess charge 3 weeks later. Ebay have only confirmed I used a packlink label and referred me to packlink. Packlink just tell me it was over the label weight and therefore I have to pay. Its worrying because if it is a glitch and there is nothing to flag up at the time, it could possibly happen to anyone at any time.

No I decided to not have it collected and will take it to the PO myself tomorrow when I am out anyway. Ebay is just a pain these days.

[incredible_how]

that is a pain. so far since everything I have now got listed is SD and the label has been simple delivery. It was odd to have some things that had changed via ebay to SD while one item hadn't.

Your listings, have a postage price but don't say standard tracked after the price, which SD does say, you might want to check through them and check they are simple delivery.

Thanks but think they have all been made SD. The one I just sold the label was already there I did not have to buy it.
