Luckily for me as the majority of my items are currently large letter they are all letter box size .I am working through a stock of old stamps preparing for the change to stamps next year on my large letters, I take them all to a PO or direct to the mail centre, get my POP stamped and that’s it. I do tend though to react to problems and watch complaints on here and switch my parcels once I see any pattern of issues developing with any service - as long as my stated postage method on eBay can be changed to reflect that before I sell. 

Soolin, what do you mean "get my POP stamped".  Where do you get the POP from?  I thought post office gives you a printed one only if you ask for it.  They don't like to print one out for every large letter - lot of frowning if I ask.  So I only ask for it if it expensive.  Otherwise I just put them in the post box - so no POP.

You can download a form, write the buyers names, addresses and postage methods on and get the post office to stamp it when you take your letters/parcels in:

Thank you Olgadapolga.  I didn't even know about this form.   Useful when I have a lot to post.
