Postage labels bought through Ebay

I have done Ebay for a long time and always pack my items and take them to the post office. Ive been looking at buying postage and printing postage labels through Ebay but cant seem to find the right info.


Looking at the Ebay help pages it sats you can buy lables at 'competitive rates' through Shutl? But, doing that looking at the prices it seems to be more expensive than going to the post office.

I may be wrong but I thought that you could pay for Royal Mail postage and print labels through Ebay but cant seem to find instructions on doing it. Is it possible to do so or do you have to use the Shutl thing?

    I use Click and Drop from RM which should be the same price as through eBay and most prices are the same as standard post but some are slightly cheaper.

    Prices for stamped parcels, and those paid for over the counter at a Post Office

    Prices for parcels with postage paid through Royal Mail Click & Drop, Royal Mail Online postage and online channels such as eBay, Amazon and PayPal are found in the Royal Mail online price guide.
