Simple delivery is awful

[jezzagold]

I list a few things on ebay occasionally, but this new simple delivery is just rubbish for sellers. It assumes that ebay actually know the size and weight of items And that everyone can easily get to Evri or other courier services easily. Why did they have to stop the seller from deciding how to post items? Put me right off bothering to use Ebay.

Large letter up to 250g in the UK costs £1.80. Ebay charges £2.73 for simple delivery. Over 50% more and no better service. Makes a £2 item look really expensive

Is the compensation on both of those services the same? 

Really though eBay don't want to be a marketplace for selling items at £2, they will never come out and say it but small value items will be a casualty of simple delivery but for eBay they wont mind, especially from private sellers where they don't actually get seller fee's.
