Me either.... who's coco and what do they have to do with it?

The woman in the perfume ad?  I wouldn't get her to post your stuff... she might leave it behind at the party.

Incidentally , Ebay Rm postage can be marginally cheaper than the PO , the 66p you quote is a standard 2nd class letter so if that is the size of the items you are posting you would pay the same whether you send via a PO or via ebay postage. Parcels are cheaper on ebay , standard 2nd class small parcel at the Post Office is £3.20 whereas it is only £3 from ebay.

I'm sure you know this but just to mention that you can also get the £3 price directly from the Royal Mail as well as from eBay using https://send.royalmail.com/

If you're using click and drop I'm sure you know  - that in there if you've linked your ebay account so that new orders populate automatically as something is sold on your ebay account - the two accounts talk to each other - so when you've printed your label in click and drop and been to the post office, and they scan it over the counter, it updates automatically to 'dispatched' in ebay. (It can take a while to update)

As you're going to the post box, there's no scan available at that point, so the system doesn't know the item is on the way - the scan that you usually get at the post office likely doesn't happen until the item is in the Royal Mail system, and then updates the click and drop and eventually ebay - which is how your item was marked as dispatched. It's the scan somewhere in the Royal Mail system that activates your ebay marked as dispatched - so doing away with the need for you to 'mark as dispatched' (although as others have pointed out the option is still there for when you've used other couriers)
