Simplified Postage woes

[hawk7860]

 Some of the items I sell are small and fit in a regular letter size and so I used to be able to send at the 0.87p second class postage cost of Royal mail. Now due to this simplified postage the same is costing me £2.70. This makes no sense. How can I opt out of buying postage from Ebay as I cannot see any other way of selling if this stays the same for small goods as these.

The workaround solution on here works for small items as well as large:

The best way forward for you would be to upgrade to a business account.

You could sell your own, personal pre-owned items from a private account but should have a business account for the items you are buying to sell.
