They say, "if it ain't broke don't fix it", well eBay have broken the postage options for private sellers. I always used Custom postage, so that I can choose the best courier, for my sales, this is especially important at times like Christmas. This also includes a packaging charge for the mailing boxes, that I have to buy, at up to 70p, per box. Now that option is gone. What the hell has postage to do with eBay, anyway. Only allowing 2 couriers for sellers, to choose is an interference too far. Not only have we got to put up with the "buyer protection tax", the withholding of our funds until eBay see fit to pay us for sales. What next? Who knows, but I'm damn sure it's going to clobber private sellers. Sell for free on eBay, my *bleep*!

Upgrade to business seller, then you chose postage cost and courier.

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't help me. I am not a business, it's just a very small hobby for me, I don't do it for a living. eBay will squeeze business sellers, when all the private sellers have gone anyway.

No such thing as hobby seller.
Private sellers are getting rid of unwanted items.
