but it still goes with one of the two carriers, it's listed as such. And it's sold as being cheaper but it's more expensive, maybe when you get to larger items it is better. And penalised for being too far from an evri dropoff with even more expensive prices.

Please don't make simple delivery compulsory. How am I going to combine orders for buyers?

It's more expensive than now and I sell lots of items that are non-standard sizes and weights. DON'T DO THIS TO US EBAY!

Unfortunately , eBay do not come onto this forum to see your plea.

However,  there's no stopping Simple Delivery,  it's coming in mandatory,  for all Private sellers from the 15th April.

You may find your existing listings slowly being changed to Simple Delivery now.

@magiclanternist 

Vinteds postage costs for delivery to home are far as I can see (they dont advertise them anywhere) are

up to 500g - Evri £2.99/RM £3.39

501g to 1kg - Evri £4.29/RM £5.09

1kg to 2kg - Evri £6.29/RM £6.59

So yes they do pay silly prices. They may have Inpost but given all the problems they have with couriers muddling up parcels, I wouldnt use them. They also have Yodel and DPD but the charges are the same as Evri.

What they dont have is the buyers penalty for the seller choosing only 1 courier but Vinted dont do RM collection from home.

And I use Vinted but Ive never been called young hip before, so thank you - Im in my 60s!

I only use RM collection on Vinted and never had a problem.I am in a very rural area with no Evri or DPD only RM.

Due to vinted also trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole (like eBay are but in a different way)

Those prices are not right

its all a bit crazy but once you know what you’re doing it’s fine 

I spent 20 minutes trying to explain it but gave myself a headache so deleted it all as didn’t want to pass it on to you

Vinted sellers list items as small medium or large

then vinted detail what they regard as small medium and large by size and weight for Royal Mail and by courier but they have got it wrong 

I will just say that up to 2kg you only pay 3.39 or 3.45 now from April with RM if you pick small or medium

If you pick large ie vinteds large it means it’s a RM medium size parcel and will be the next price band up 

I don’t recognise those later two prices you put but will read around in case it’s changed v recently 

mix ups with inpost happen sometimes because using a qr code instead of a printed label you put unmarked package in locker and person who collects sometimes mixes it all up when producing the labels 

But with inpost they’re so flexible ….on which locker size you use what weight it is (you’re allowed anything up to 15kg) you can pretty much send anything if it fits in the locker and pay the minimum price 

home deliveries tend to cost a bit more but not much more 

ps you’re welcome 

60s is the new 40s “still got it “ ☺️🤣

That's expensive.
I've looked at vinted for buying but it's so hard to search for things 9same age group as you!). I know sellers moan about all the details ebay ask on a clothing listing but if they are filled out properly it really does help the buyer to find them

If what you are saying is correct, does this not mean that you could take the matter to the Ombudsman Postal Redress Service (POSTRS)?

I know, it is so wrong. I send out out mainly small packages that used to be £2.90 with Evri all tracked. . Now the same items are costing over a pound more to send with Royal Mail tracked. Will be taking my items off Ebay. 

with simple delivery, if you accept both Evri and RM then, the up to 1kg will be £2.94 and 2kg £3.71 

They actually reduced it now to 3.44 for both 1 and 2kg weights

and I’ve got evri disabled too

May be useful to some just discovered local corner shop where I drop Collect+/ Yodel have just started accepting Royal Mail, much more convenient, open longer & walking distance. PO Sorting Office only 8-10 am . Lived here long enough to have used the shop as a sub post office!

its taking them weeks to sort out the postage price  to £3.44  ,so how long will it take them to sort out all the other mess ?

I've just had a look and they have! That makes a HUGE difference

It does

but

theyve finally officially clarified that large letters won’t be eligible for custom postage even if price is under 10£ and weight under 100g…they have to go SD/tracked

!

give with the one take with the other 

ps I’ll wait and see how they’re going to police this 

I have to say I do sent large letter signed for, especially around Christmas time...

But I know it would have been helpful for some people

Nope.  No opt out now.  I am using Chrome on a P.C.

The only option I have is "Simple" Delivery.  

What is worse, there is no option under "Simple Delivery" to send a small package by Royal Mail.  I can send a medium sized packaged by Royal Mail [which costs more] or an incorrectly sized large letter.  But there is no small sized package option.  

Yet again, eBay has released software which doesn't work properly.  Utterly hopeless.
