What a complete rip off, I've always used Royal Mail's "Click & Drop" integration only to realise that not only am I paying RM say £1.55 for a large letter under 100g but ebay are also deducting £2.94 from my account for the same item!
This is daylight robbery, and I can no longer afford to fulfill orders a pen costing my buyer £2.49 is costing me £4.49!
Have I lost the plot?

With all those multiples of new items you must upgrade to business seller.
When upgraded, no more SD, you choose postage and carrier.

“MUST”
They’ve also ended 1900 of my items

You are buying to sell, it is the law to be a business seller.
If ebay have ended 1900 of your items, you're on their radar.
They may suspend your account soon, so better to upgrade account ASAP.

As a pensioner suffering from PTSD due to the Post Office scandal this was therapy investigating, listing fulfilling delivery requirements as gets me out of the house to my ex colleagues Post Office.

Why you were doing it doesn't matter. Trading on a private account breaks a number of laws.
You have sold over 16,000 items!

If you click the link I provided, all explained there.
Here is part of it.
"Business sellers are required to follow all government regulations, including registering as a business on eBay, and providing contact information and a return policy.
An eBay seller must register as a business if, for example, they sell items they have bought to resell, they make items in order to sell them, or if they buy items for their business."

1 of the main laws is you are denying buyers their consumer rights.
AGAIN, if you click the link I provided, all explained there.
Ebay also have to report sellers to HMRC who sell more than 30 items per year.

You are in danger of ebay banning you permanently.
