how do you list anything bigger than 61cm?

[chairry]

Ebay is now forcing me into SD with no custom delivery option

The largest postage offered under SD is 61cm

There seems to be no way to list anything over 61cm and get the correct postage, even if you declare the dimensions in the listing height, width etc

anyone figured out what to do or does ebay just want us to take large items elsewhere?

[angussyung]

Well, I for one am unable to list large items and only get the 61cm max.

I tried the £800 thing above...which does bring up sizing boxes and other postage options, but reverts right back when I change the item price.

I have had to change all my current listed items to collection only, which of course means I will be unlikley to sell.

Ebay drive me insane....Ive been buying & selling for over 20 years and with the intro of the moronic 'buyer protection fee' and 'simple delivery' they have pretty much destroyed what was a usable platform.

Have you tried using 'sell similar' on an item that still has custom postage?

That works for me, it's only brand new listings that revert right back to SD as you describe.

Are you using the original workaround from this thread or the new one w.e.f. 06/08/25? ( post 160 above )

Thanks! Your advice works, although if you try to reduce your price now, it's automatically setting back to SIMPLE DELIVERY   🙄🤣 Does Ebay not realise that "Private Sellers" make their "Business".

You absolute star!

It does work! you have to do every step, especially your policies, then it will not revert to simpleton delivery. I have listed with it.

If it helps anyone I just spoke to customer support about this because the workaround didn't work for me. They said I should use simple delivery, ensure that only Evri was selected and choose the biggest size available but the correct weight. They said Ebay have an agreement with Evri that Evri will accept items over the size limit (we'll see when the auction ends)

Which workaround?

The latest workaround was got at by ebay and my listing was converted to simpleton delivery, see  https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Seller-Central/How-do-you-list-anything-bigger-than-61cm-Part-two/m-...

I cannot get this to work for me. in my case two car doors on a pallet clearly is over the medium parcel threshold. Every time i change the price back down the delivery reverts to simple...as in its not simple.

You have to follow the workaround exactly, Do not miss out a step. This workaround is on its way out as people are changed over after the 06/08/25 changes. You have to change to the new workaround then but this may not be holding up for long either as ebay bring in the means to list larger items. ( at last )
