Except if you post got Royal Mail postage on the Royal Mail website they will collect for free.

I don’t see why I should have to pay for it just because eBay decided to force ‘Simple Delivery’ on its customers. (Presumably because the not get a kick back from RM and Evri for them being their only partners)

Royal Mail collection used to be free but that was only ever intended as a temporary promotion.  Royal Mail has now introduced a charge of 30p per item for collection, effective from 1st May.  It is nothing to do with eBay.
