Royal Mail 2nd class postage option disappeared - why?

8 replies

EastMids2 · 06/07/2018 23:12

I'm quite new to selling on ebay but have successfully sold clothes, shoes, costume jewellery etc over past few months and posted to buyers using Royal Mail 2nd class postage at £2.95. Today this option has disappeared (it was there yesterday) and it seems the only 2nd class option is now Signed For at a cost of £3.95. Can anyone explain what's going on? Surely I should be able to choose my method of posting sold items!

I've listed things this evening it's still giving me the 2nd class option?

Really? OK so it's me missing a tick box or not choosing an option then I guess. But I'm not doing anything different on a new listing this evening to yesterday and after adding my selling price and moving down page to Postage I get just Choose Postage which takes me to the Shutl and higher price Royal Mail option or a Click & Collect. Nothing else. I will keep looking but something has definitely changed!

Not just you - missing for me last week and I couldn't resolve it.

So what did you do Mummymummums? Just go with the Signed For option at £3.95? I wouldn't be happy to pay an extra pound if I was the buyer. Not happy with this Ebay situation but sleepy now so will re-think in the morning. Thanks for replies.

I abandoned the listing!

I'll be listing more tonight it'll be interesting to see what happens. Usually if eBay are changing there conditions they email you. It'll certainly put a lot of folk of increasing postage .
I'll get back later tonight and see what. Happens

Hi I've just put a few things on eBay I'm still getting £2.95 postage option 2nd class? Have you updated the eBay app or not using phone to list? Maybe that's the issue??

Quick update; I've just relisted and added new items and - guess what - Royal Mail 2nd class postage @£2.95 option has been reinstated! Fingers crossed it stays that way. Thanks for your comments.
