Simple delivery is far from simple

It's just stupid. A massive oversight from Ebay.

So I have to pack every item I sell before I list and sell it.

How else am I going to know how much it weighs?????

Ridiculous idea

Why cant I use all the other senders Yodel Parcelforce DHL etc etc

When you list an item ebay recommends a size  and weight (highlighted in blue)

if you’re sending   parcels then it’s not so bad 

if youre item is  oversized or overweight as long as they made  the  recommendation ,you can just send it and it’s  no t your problem   anymore

It should be relatively easy to estimate the size/weight band irequired without having to pack the item first.  You just need to weigh and measure the item and if any of the dimensions are close to the cut off point for a particular band then you know that you will need the next one up.
