eBay Advanced/Custom postage options

Is there anyway to auto enable the above option?

When creating new listings eBay is auto defaulting to 'simple options' and I have to spend time changing it to select the postage service I want.

    Probably not if you're a private seller.

    I haven’t found a way of doing it at all. 

    In fact, I thought I was being very careful, and yet I appear to have accidentally let one slip through and my buyer has been charged £2.70 for a large letter that weighs under 100g (that’s RM48) instead of the standard £1.70 I charge .

    I listed a couple of items a few days ago and had to turn the simple delivery off as it was telling me that buyers would be paying a minimum amount for delivery that was higher than the RM48 price.

    Thanks all as I suspected. I think it might be another way for eBay to rack up some nice fees as the 'simple' charges are often a lot more!

    I find it is a pain to relist some of my old listings as they automatically show simple postage.  Have to make sure I go through all steps and do each one individually.

    Is it user specific? I haven’t had to change any when creating new listings , there was one item I thought might be useful to try simple delivery actually but I couldn’t find a way to add it.
    Well apart from one item I relisted which I only spotted later had changed to simple delivery from the original.  It was only a small cable but it had been changed to simple delivery, collection only ! Not sure how that worked.
