What is deem'ed a low-priced ebay on simple delivery?

[lace_specialist_uk]

Now that ebay are making simple delivery mandatory shortly what is deem'ed a low-priced ebay on simple delivery.

Is it items listed at £20.00 and under or what?

As a low priced item is excluded from simple delivery 

I prefer to just put on a 1st class stamp or 2nd class stamp on most items I sell

Thanks Pearse

I presume there will be a custom postage button….somewhere ….for all those items that are exempt from SD

theres one at the moment under SD for heavy or outsized..At the bottom of the weights menu…it takes you to ALL weights sizes and delivery methods plus you put your postage cost freely

it it was me I’d just use that and see what happens

not sure what you mean by how will eBay know what your item weighs

all we can do at the moment is wait see what appears on the 15th

'No one seems to be able to tell me HOW eBay will know my item is under 100g.'

Perhaps their AI systems will read the heading and spot the word 'Stamp' or 'Postcard' and that would take the listing out of S.D. territory?

Not sure how that would work with Stamp albums mind you...

S.D. becomes less and less S. the more you think about it! 🤔

It no longer let's me list 99p, under-100-g, small-letter-sized items with Royal Mail Second Class delivery but it enforces a £2.70+ tracked service. Noone in their right mind will buy things with this delivery charge. eBay also shoots itself in the foot, as they will no longer be able to collect the 75p buyer protection fee per item.

Ah, that's bad..... in all the circular arguments we've been having about <100gms, <£10.00 large letter being exempt or not from S.D., normal SMALL letters have always been in the *NO* S.D. camp.

And this is from the horse's mouth of ebay's *own* rules and actual answers to questions asked in 'weekly chat'.

What the chuff? ebay?....

You could avoid the SD worry by correctly registering your business on eBay and not illegally trade on a private account. You're one of the reasons real private sellers now have BPF and SD on their listings
