ebay changed item to 'simple deliver' .. EVRi postage wrong

I listed an item, with my usual postage, but eBay has changed this to their Simple Delivery and the weight is too low.

EVRi item but weight is slightly over 1 kg

What do i do now ?

    To be honest Evri are fairly good at accepting slightly overweight marketplace items- I think ebay have managed their contract to allow for slippage.

    Has the item sold? If not and you are worried you can update the size and weight.  However if ebay estimated the size and weight (I.e. you didn't override ebay's siggestion) they will absorb any additional cost. Just out of interest what price was the item and how long had it been listed? For quite some time any new parcel sized item under £750 has been only simple delivery.
