Charity not found - trying to list an item and donate proceeds

I have a small vintage book that will fit in a large envelope which I would like to sell and donate the proceeds to a local charity. I have already put the charity in my favourites, but when I go to "Donate a portion of this sale" on my listing, it can't find the charity! I have spent a couple of hours trawling through forums with no luck, I did change to "post only" from "post or collect" but that made no difference. 

 

Secondly, as it is a small book I should be able to opt out of "Simple Delivery" as that is charged at more than the price of the stamp I already have, but I can't do that either! 

 

Suggestions before I tear out the rest of my hair would be welcome.

SD should have Custom Postage available for all Large Letter under 100g items £10 or under, but it is glitchy and sometimes CP is not available. eBay are 'working on it' as of June.

The simple delivery is supposed to be optional for books, among other things.
