Buying postage through ebay

Options
I choose ever for my buyer at £2.75 when had to buy its royal at £2.99. Is eBay using only Royal Mail now or postage? Thanks

    All the couriers are still there by clicking to go onto ebay Packlink options. If they are missing at the moment it is likely to be a glitch, ebay can be very glitchy.

    I don't have any packages outstanding, but I just tried one and I can still see the packlink link to buy via Evri and others.

    I just clicked through to packlink on my last sale, just for your information it looks like the cheapest Evri is now £2.67 for a large letter size with no insurance against loss, that's drop off price and covers up to 1kg. These are the measurements drop-off at Evri - Postable
    Max. 35cm x 23cm x 2.5cm

    Depending on weight that might be cheaper via Royal Mail so always double check if price is an issue as Royal Mail large letters are insured against loss
    . Also remember that ebay take fees on the postage, so you won't actually get the £2.65 you have charged the buyer.
