Yet more simple delivery issues

se2020

Sold 3 items today.

All have been listed for ages so have all been automatically changed over to simple delivery.

They are all large letter size. 100g or less.

I've been charged £3.38 for postage on 2 of these items and £4.26 for the other.

Whats even more annoying is if I go to revise these listings the 'recommend option for all of them is the £2.70 large letter option!

Do I really need to go through all my active listings (listed pre SD) and check each of them or is there some way I can do this in bulk?

(Although not all the stuff I have listed is large letter size!)

Simple Delivery overrides your old listings and applies its own pricing bands, which don’t always match Royal Mail large letter rates. There isn’t a true bulk fix — you either have to revise listings individually or opt them out of Simple Delivery going forward. eBay’s “recommended” option isn’t reliable for size/weight accuracy.

Lots of sellers have been caught by this since SD rolled out — it’s not just you.

How do you opt out of simple delivery? TIA.

You can only opt out for certain large letter size items. The category is quite large now (it was expanded0 but if you set your postage as normal and only the SD is offered, just click on the SD box and it will offer you optios, go for the Large letter one, and if the item is in an eligible category and under £20 it will then also show custom postage.

Thanks for that soolin, it'll help me get rid of some postage stamps.
