if i sale a light dvd i can send by royal mail large letter with a tracking number for £1.55 NOW under the new simple delievery it will cost £2.70 to send the same item , i phoned ebay and the representitive said when buye has paid for the £2.70 label you do not have to use this , but if you decide to use a £1.55 royal mail label printed by yourself you will have to pay that extra £1.55 yourself WHAT ! i asked so i have to carge the seller £2.70 then i have to pay the £1.55 myself on top , he said YES Anyone know if this is true ? , Someone somewhere is making a lot of money out of this new system , just like the stupid rip off that is buyer protection fee , We all know buyers are fully protected anyway with or without this fee,

The buyer would get refunded the £2.70 they paid if the label was not used.
You would lose the amount you paid for postage.

so if a buyer buys the item under simple delievery i can create my £1.55 label myself and print this then refund the buyer £1.15 the difference is this correct ?

No.
Ebay refunds the buyer the full SD label price they were charged.
You pay the full new postage cost.

Only refund the buyer if you want them to make a profit!
They pay Ebay 2.70, not you.
If the label is not used, Ebay will eventually refund that amount to your buyer.
So, essentially, they get free postage and you lose £1.55p from the money you are paid for the item.
