ebay listing tool glitches

I have a whole box of collectable vintage items to list and the ebay listing tool is driving me round the bend. I need these to go SD due to cost (most items are less than £10 so the cheaper SD costs makes these more attractive) but the SD option keeps disappearing, and even when I can see it when I click to list it reverts to custom postage.

If I schedule the listing then I can hold on to SD, but the schedule option has now disappeared, so I either have to list and then immediately revise, which is a pain, or abandon the listing.

The other thing is that despite these items all obviously being tiny and light (but unfortunately too big for LL) it reverts to 2kg , and keeps switching back, so I have to check every listing for that as well.

    Have you looked on the eBay community to see if anything related is being discussed? If not, open a topic. They read it regularly.

    I never venture asking questions there since I forgot the log in details for my posting account. 

    I've got scheduled back at the moment, so listing as fast as I can, if it goes again I'll leave the rest for later.

    You should just get in using the eBay account login.

    I never have and never will use my real account to log in, they are vicious in there. I did as was recommended years and years ago and have an ebay account set up just for posting, like most regulars do.

    They do look at the account and can be judgmental, but overall most people are helpful. I got the have us call you link as they kept moving it to prevent people from getting callbacks.
