Great news. Ebay drops seller charges!

My custom postage still works.

Posting myself by RM48 and no issues at all.

Are we 100% sure that you can’t change it ……

Same, I botched the dates for ‘booking time away’ recently so just posed via RM48 without selecting any shipping options on eBay..

Then I realised that I couldn’t update the tracking like the olden days so I msg the buyers with a tracking numbers and asked them to leave feedback asap, because eBay kept harassing me, saying I was overdue to post.. apart from that hiccup.. I’ve just chosen RM48 from list provided.

​ New message from: **************** (221 )​ Hi Andy - I did get an email from eBay on 27th August about this. Honestly hadn't got a clue about why I was sent this and why I was refunded (have never sold anything on eBay, am a buyer only) - I just assumed they knew what they're doing and why, and forgot about it. In case it helps, - this is what the eBay email that I received said: "Hi ***** We issued you a refund for the postage cost of this order. When you purchased this item, you also paid for the postage. However, the postage label wasn’t used, so we’re refunding the postage cost of £3.38. Here's a summary of your refund. You should receive it in 3-5 working days. Refund summary Postage £2.82 VAT £0.56 Total refund £3.38"​

All despite me being told by eBay that I could simply change my tracking number when needed.

So to be 100% clear you can’t select custom postage rather than simple delivery?

And then select whichever service you want displayed to the buyer. Edit the cost and then when sold…. Scan your own tracking into eBay?

I can, but only on certain listings, there is no consistency.
EBay chat said that with simple delivery applied I didn't have to use their label, I could use my own and just change the tracking number, the money would still come to me, I would only get the 3.38 and my own postage would actually cost slightly more but I can deal with that. I was so satisfied, thinking I'd figured this out.
