Simple Delivery - what the heck? | Seller Central

I have been an eBay seller for about twenty five years, on and off. Recently I haven’t been selling much stuff but lately I’ve been having a clear out so listed one or two things, one of which sold today. So, I start to package the item and look for the buyer’s address…. Can’t find it?I sell everything using my smartphone these days as my laptop is very elderly and takes a long time to do anything. So anyway, then I find out that I have to print a postage label through “Simple Delivery”. Well that’s new, I think to myself (you can tell I haven’t sold anything for a while!) so I click on the button to get my pre-paid label so that I can print it, from my smart phone. Except I can’t print it, as there is no option to print. The next thing I know, I have somehow booked for a delivery of my pre-paid label to be delivered to me in person tomorrow. Well that won’t work - I have to go into work tomorrow. I try to change the delivery date but there is no option to do this. I go around in circles for nearly an hour trying to undo this mess but it’s not possible. No option anywhere for me to print and I can’t stop the delivery of the label tomorrow. Eventually I crank up the old laptop and find that I can print from the there, so I’ve printed the label and will take the package to the post office tomorrow. So, my questions are:1. Is it not possible to print pre-paid labelsfrom a smart phone?2. If this is the case, why?3. Why does eBay think I’m at home all day happy to wait for labels to be delivered?4. How can I bypass this so-called Simple Delivery thing?I’m a private seller, who sells things occasionally and if this how eBay is going to be now, I think it’s going to be the end for me. So long eBay, it was fun while it lasted. I imagine several other sellers will also be leaving in huge numbers.
