It sounds like its time to start marking all my <£10 items as weight of less than 100g and for anything over £10 saying it weight is +20kg so they are ineligible for simple delivery and I can arrange my own postage like ive managed to do for the past 20 years of selling without ebay interfering.

I wonder how much Evri and the Royal Mail are paying to Ebay to be the exclusive carriers on simple delivery?Since we seem to be missing a lot of other couriers we have available now before SD becomes mandatory when we also get Yodel, Fedex, DPD, UPS etc as a delivery option.
