Most of my sales now are small letter. Only 2 have been 'forced' into Simple Delivery, where the buyer pays more for 'delivery' than the item cost, so most of my profit taken by Ebay. So anyway I stick the £2.70 label on to a small envelope, expecting a Recipt from PO showing tracking number. My PO says that a glitch (on Ebay or Horizon) prevents printing of the tracking number on the receipt for a small letter, but it does work on a Large letter.

Hi, Same here regarding postage, ebay are peddling their own preference. Only work around I have found, which you are using is to add postage to item price and offer free postage in the listing.

@snavenairb Doesn't work. Tried the free postage for a letter-sized item, weighing less than 50g, so effectively *should* have cost just 85p postage, but ebay still charged me more than a large letter at £2.70 with their 'prepaid label'. Daylight robbery.

Create a listing, set to ‘oversize’ which may give you ability to set you own postage, e.g. 87p for letter. Save listing. If that stays at 87p, use ‘sell similar’ based on that item, making changes as appropriate. Sometimes works for my ‘normal letter’ paper items.

But the tracking number is on your order, so you can check on it that way.

If you organise the (free) Royal Mail collection you don't get a receipt.

Thanks, @trevdbowler, but tried this and there was no option to set a size, other than the Large Letter up to 1kg, and small and medium parcels with SD.
