No Royal Mail Large Letter options?

5 replies

I sell my old specialist magzines on Ebay - have done for years and, while not a massive earner, generally covers the cost of the subscription and is no real hassle.

I've just tried to list one on both the app and the website and the postal options have completely changed and the cheapest one is now £2.68 via some Ebay Packalink service. I always used to send them large letter, second class for £1.60-ish, but the extra cost of the postage now makes this completely unviable.

Any idea what is going on? Have Royal Mail stopped the Large Letter option, or are Ebay being dicks?

I just had a look on the ebay app and tried to start a 'magazine' listing and I can choose a large letter option for £1.65 2nd class. If you click one the postal edit bit you should be able to choose your options.

Yes, that is what I would normally do, but I'm not getting that option at all (and it is listed under magazines).

All I get is a 'letter small' option, which only gives weights up tio 100g, or other, which just gives package options. I've been through them all!

I've even tried going in through an old listing with the correct postage options and selling as a similar item, but that just gives me the same postage options.

Ebay do seem to limit postage options for some items, but you can just choose the nearest and change the price to what you know it will cost you.
eg for coats and jackets ebay won't let me choose small parcel, so I select medium parcel and change the amount the buyer pays to the small parcel amount.
