Recently I messed up on postage charged when I came to send, I just obviously sucked up the difference myself. What if this had been Simple Delivery and the label produced was rejected by Evri say as overweight. Sounds like it could be a nightmare.
I also haven’t seen anything to see how combined postage might work. I’m sure combined postage rates have helped me sell multiple items many times.
If you put insufficient postage on any item a surcharge will apply to it.
The option is there on simple delivery to say the size and weight is wrong, I'd imagine ebay will then cancel the label and purchase another at your cost. You just need to read the message that comes with the label to check you didn't underestimate the size and weight when listing.
If you as the seller cancel the sale what happens to the label ebay has bought on behalf of the buyer?0 -

"Can I adjust the size and weight details of my item?
If we're unable to determine the size and weight of your item accurately, you'll be asked to specify these details when you list it. This ensures you receive a suitable postage label when your item sells. You may also choose to update the size and weight if you believe our estimate is incorrect. Just make sure to report accurate measurements to avoid additional charges."
The last four words suggest to me that if you report the size/weight is wrong ebay will issue a replacement label but deduct the cost from the transaction funds....

Now I'm getting confused. I tried to view the details of the SD label I used earlier this week and found this bit of info;
'How to ship
- Pack your itemEnsure your item is securely packaged to reach buyers in perfect condition. If your item size and weight exceed the size and weight printed on the label, please proceed to ship the item; the carrier will accept the package. You can also print a packing slip to include inside your package.'

I have the opposite issue, on one of my private accounts I am not always being offered simple delivery- but for some of the items it would actually suit me. On my main private acocunt though I still have the choice (I list on the PC) .I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I've just noticed that the draft listings I've done in the last 3 days have my old address as item location, I moved over 2 years ago. The draft listings I did about a week ago have my new correct address showing.0
