Simple delivery - being charged too much for the weight of the parcel

[preciousmetaluk]

Hi there, it's another post about "simple" delivery!

How can I specify the weight of the item so that ebay stops over-charging for the shipping?

Earlier today I sold two items weighing approximately 35g each, but because the cheapest "simple" shipping option is "up to 1kg," EBay has automatically purchased a label for 2kg (!!) which cost me £3.38 rather than the £2.70 it only needed to cost!

This is ridiculous! How can I stop it from happening again?

Looks like a combined postage problem to me

unfortunately you can’t list your items with custom delivery  as fheyre over a tenner 

so the bots have it at the moment 

combing two 35 g items each under a 1kg selection as two 1kg selections 

hmmm

Sellers need to double check the postage fees imposed under 'Simple' Delivery. Just discovered small parcel items are being charged as medium so a up to 2 kg small parcel 16 cm was charged as 2kg medium for @ £2 extra. Have had to revise all my small parcel up to 2 kg to the 16 cm size to get a better price. Even up to 1kg parcels were being charged as medium by default so had to change back to 16 cm.
