Interestingly, we've just received a parcel, delivered using SD, that was overweight. Here's what seems to have happened: 

 

The weight has been written on the label: 2750g against a 2kg limit. The parcel has been delivered, with a sticker saying £5 charge plus £1.50 handling but we, the recipient, do not seem to have been charged. I wonder whether this fee will be recovered from the buyer? 

 

What a bloody mess!

Did the label have 'Marketplace Seller' and 'Paid by eBay Simple Delivery' on it?

What I suspect may have happened is that the parcel was inadvertently stickered but that they subsequently realised that it was a Simple Delivery item and so delivered it as normal.

As it is being sent as part of a business contract there is no need for surcharges to be levied against individual items.
