Thanks for the update, Kat.

I note your last sentence about labels purchased on Ebay.

Wasn't there recently a different issue / glitch concerning Royal mail postage labels bought online?

I believe I saw a thread on these boards recently.

I hope this particular glitch is not a precursor to Ebay forcing sellers to buy their postage labels through Ebay.

I don't use my phone for anything other than calls and messaging and I don't wish to use a printer.

Also, the Post Office is a 5 minute walk from my house and delivering my parcels there is way more convenient and time-saving than having them collected, as I am out and about trying to buy stock the rest of the time.

Recent changes in the way Dispatch & Tracking is recorded and reported on Ebay seem to have met no end of glitches and unforeseen problems.

I hope the glitch discussed on this thread is resolved permanently and does not lead to any more back door changes in the process of posting parcels.
