eBay simple delivery (merged)

I notice tonight I have a message on my RM click & drop account that as a personal EBay account holder I will no longer be able to use click & drop and my orders may be rejected.
So making it hard even for my low value orders to get around SD

I can’t see the correlation between RM stopping private accounts from using the click and drop account and getting round SD. 

My LLs are still custom postage , I still print out from eBay and pay for my labels as usual. For non eBay sales I use click and drop with no issues for both parcels and LLs.

Well it’s harder because there will be no automatic link to RM app, of course you can do it manually.

I just sold an item earlier and eBay forced Simple Delivery on it. If I go to order details, it shows that eBay charged buyer £2.25 for postage. I listed this item under my regular templates which have custom postage selected and not Simple Delivery. This is really annoying as I want to sort out my own delivery. And if I go to print label it doesn't give me the option to change any of the postage details and print my own label.

I had exactly the same experience y`day. I have been using advanced options and then custom postage but Ebay overrode it and stated Evri which the buyer ` chose` I dont understand if Ebay are rolling out SD then surely they should remove the other options.

I so wish they would remove the awful hold music but they must get royalties on that , wingy, whiney and sexist!

As has been discussed above you can’t change an SD label, it is pre selected and pre paid for by the buyer.

I've just dropped off some Evri SD items and instead of getting the usual blue receipt with just the number of parcels taken, this time i was asked for my email address. By the time I got home I had received an email confirming my item was dropped off .

The receipt says 
Thanks for dropping off your eBay Simple Delivery parcel on Saturday 7 June at 12:23.

then states which shop/drop off point I used and confirms all the tracking details. 

I'm actually quite impressed.

Evri have lost a parcel sent via SD. And it's been the easiest resolution ever. 

Tracking shows it's been in the warehouse for weeks. Buyer messaged me, I advised them to open a claim through eBay. They were refunded, I've kept my money, and it was so straightforward.

I think overall that’s the biggest advantage. I sent a parcel this morning via Evri , it has already shown as received and I have my email confirmation- so I now have nothing to worry about and if it arrives as quickly as most of mine, then I’ll be paid by the end of this week.

Postage questions re SD-
I have done a few listings this weekend, all SD.  They will need to sent rolled up in a tube.  Without SD,  circular rolls attracted a different postal rate.  How would it be with Simple Delivery?   I can't find specific mention of postal tubes.
Also, previously compensation was £20 for small parcels and if anything above, I used RM48.  I have listed a few items for £50.  What is current compensation under SD?
