I am here to add to the complaints about 'Simple Delivery' which has effectively tripled the cost of posting many items that fit in a DL, A5 and A4 envelope.  Either I am being overcharged - or the buyer is.

 

I have seen lots of instruction booklets for Lego for example - booklets about local history - maps - etc - all being listed with £3 to £4 postage.  This is insane - and (somehow legally in a grey area) profiteering.  So - I won't be buying anything at all unless someone has chosen the custom postage option and lists it with the ACTUAL price of postage.

 

Oh - and to make things worse - loads of categories - like fridge magnets - are not included in the custom postage options.   I would have to charge someone for 1KG of postage - for a 57g magnet.  

 

I've complained about this - no progress yet.

 

Also - I know there are work arounds - but there's no way I am listing free delivery on everything, and then having to individually claim back the MANDATORY postage on EVERY item!  What a WASTE OF TIME!

 

My sales have fallen off a cliff - my purchases are almost non-existent due to the STILL BROKEN SAVED FEED - and without any communication from eBay at any point about how I - a user of over 20 years - might feel about these changes. 

 

Rant over I think...
