I do not know what happened on mine. It was small parcel on a listing made before simple delivery came in but the label was large letter that they sent. Anyway looks like it was delivered with no issue like ebay said it would.

Hi, I would be really grateful if you could talk me through how to change a current listing, so avoiding Simple Delivery.  It is making my business unviable.  Thank you.

 

How the heck have you got the nerve to ask for help avoiding simple delivery when you are a business seller masquerading as a private seller 🙄

Having changed my listings to SD and shortened my dispatch time I am unable to meet the postal deadline because away.Buyer ok with that but I presume I will be penalised? Anyone else experienced this?

Make sure you set when you're away in your seller settings, eBay automatically extend the dispatch time, if you opt to continue to sell.

I just had the same. I printed off the label but  took to post office a day later. Will wait to see what happens if anything. Ebay seem to be all over the place with dates anyway!

Hi you should be ok ebay gives you 2 days to post an item once you have printed a label, however they have yet to update estimated delivery times due to RM new policy of 2nd class 

If you didn't use the away notification option then it's possible you will get a non dispatch strike against you 

I do not get that option. Just simple delivery (costing the earth) to sell something the size of a credit card and fits in a small under 100g envelope

If you can list it (don’t know what it is) under a category they have ok’d  which is similar but maybe not exact for your item  , try that 

Don’t blame you 

ebays super epic mythological proportions mess here will make a lot of people realise they really don’t need them or the  stress or hassles

Ebay has finally changed some of my listings to SD and has decided that several Large-Letter-size books with free delivery are Small Parcels. I see I can change that, but do I have to change every one before anyone buys it, to avoid being charged for a Small Parcel?

Yes, you would need to make a changes required to the postage before the item sells. 

The listings I'm talking about have free delivery (to the buyer), as they did before the change, so they say (when I edit):

Small Parcel ... Seller pays ... You'll pay £3.38. Buyers will see "Free postage"

So I'm wondering whether I can still change that to the correct Large Letter rate after the item has been bought.
