Wow.  It gets worse.  As bove, SD is a complete robbery.  Now my buyers get charged VAT on postage that doesn't bear VAT when a stamp is bought (or maybe it is, but then the buyer pays the tax twice!).  This morning, when trying to dispatch order, the 'get label' system tells me that "Royal Mail is experiencing issues - please try later".  Issues? Are they having children, or kittens or what? Is It RM causing the trouble? Can I believe eBay on this? Is RM hissed off with eBay? What's the truth here? And if I wasn't forced, arm-up-my-back to use their *bleep*py 'Not-so-simple' service, my (cheaper) stamp on the envelope would have the goods winging their way the the buyer right now.

I'm warning you eBay, you lumbering giant bunch of idiots, that I and thousands of others are on the edge.  Or maybe that's your half-brained plan......
