Hi , Just spoke to an ebay agent who did not make me aware of this opt out option !

Private seller and buyer for 21 years on ebay , not big on technology , use a laptop but do not have a printer and have never owned a mobile phone which means I can not print postage labels or scan QR codes .

Posting items in the past was simple , I wrote the address on package , took it to the post office and sent it tracked or signed for to avoid any issues , simple ! I have enough feedback to verify this .

Now it seems if I want to continue on ebay I will have to go out and buy a printer and mobile phone just so I can post an item . Would probably have to buy some scales and a measuring tape while I'm at it to put in dimensions and weight . How is this simple compared to how I have been posting items , and I'm sure countless other people , to date . Well done ebay , did you give the person who dream't this up a bonus .

Selling items on ebay was a bit of fun to me  not a profit making business ,  mainly selling comics I had collected over decades , and bits of bric -a -brac but seems to be getting a bit complicated , printers , QR codes and I suppose HMRC on top of that as well , which had limited what I could sell anyway without going over the trading limit . Maybe time to find a simpler pastime than ebay ! 

Will give your opt out option a try when I next relist items and see if it works , thanks for the advice was more helpful than the ebay agent .
