You are a business seller, if you had a business account, which you need to trade legally, you can choose your own postage.

Items under £20 are eligible for Custom Postage for Private Sellers. To do this enter 'Large Letter' as the Simple Delivery size and the CP tile will activate. Click it and now you may enter any size/weight/courier that you like. For instance items under 25mm and 100g fit into Royal Mail Large Letter 2nd Class for £1.55 - this is an untracked service with £20 insurance.

What you need to do is upgrade your account to a business one.

No, you can be a sole trader. Which is what you are already anyway. You just upgrade the account you already have.

Just to clarify, Private accounts are used for selling unwanted , used personal items, such as a wardrobe, attic, garage clear out. A Business account is when you sell all New items, especially when selling those in multiples. You can as advised, select your own postage here.
This is how to upgrade your account so you are selling correctly, it's easy to change your current account to a Business account...
As you've already registered with a personal account,to upgrade to a business account, here's how:
- Go to Account settings in My eBay.
- Select Personal information.
- Select Edit next to Account type. You may be asked to sign in again.
- Select Confirm to upgrade to a Business account.
- Specify whether you operate your business as a legal entity or as a sole proprietor and select Continue.
- On the following page, enter your business information such as name, contact information, and returns policy. Then select Save.
Probably best to use a PC / laptop for this, and not the app or mobile browser. Chrome seems to work best on eBay.
