Postage by eBay

[davycr-51]

I don't use eBay postage I prefer to buy postage myself  on my recent sold item I have been charged by eBay how do I opt out of  the postage by eBay ?

Simple Delivery is not a choice, except for some categories, price up to £20 and weight up to 100 grams,  you really have no choice.

If you do not use the ebay label, then you have to cancel to avoid being charged, be unable to load your own tracking.

For a Private seller,  only certain items,  for example very lightweight or overweight  items, are exempt from Simple Delivery.

As a Private seller you should be using,  eBay wish you to use SD.

You can still use your own postage,  but you cannot then add tracking, and your payouts  for those items will be held for a minimum of 14 days.

Whilst not without its faults,   it does have big advantages you may not be aware of.

Using SD if an item is lost or arrives damaged in the post,   eBay pay for that full refund to the buyer, and you keep the whole payout. 

This link describes the workings of Simple Delivery,  worth reading before you make a decision not to use it.
