I've just sold an item to New Zealand, to a regular buyer. I posted the sale quoting 'Royal Mail - International Tracked' at £29.45 The buyer purchased the item and paid the quoted postage charges. On posting the item, I find that eBay has overridden the Royal Mail charge of £29.45 paid by the seller, and given (and charged) me a UPS label at £36.99 ! I want to use Royal Mail, not UPS. I am now also £7.54 out of pocket. Can eBay do this. Why do eBay do this ?
