EDIT, yes it seems the 30p charge per item is back. When I log into Rm click and drop it saysArrange a collection
Just 30p or less
I missed any announcement about that, but in fairness I rarely use RM click and drop now,

it’s now being discussed on several forums, plus the eBay community boards and applies to all collected items, whether the label is SD or click and drop. It’s a shame , but not unexpected, and I was a useful service for the days I couldn’t get out for any reason to drop them off myself.

Interesting, so how is RM going to collect all these 30ps? Assuming postage has already been paid by SD, are they seriously going to process payments for 30p, or does it reach back to eBay? Is that 30p per collection or per item?
Seems like another disconnected system (appreciating these are completely independent companies here though). Nonetheless, I can see sellers increasing item prices to offset surcharges, packaging, eBay overcharging.
As an aside, IIRC there was a drop-off charge to a PO by RM, so is there now no way to get proof of postage without a surcharge, i.e. can only use a post box, assuming item fits?
No one will be surprised to learn eBay CS has no clue about any of this and provides misleading information...
Those are today's musings.

Those are today's musings.There never has been a charge for dropping off standard parcels at a PO ,except for RM48 or RM24 when first introduced, and nothing to suggest that dropping off parcels at a PO to get a receipt has changed to chargeable at all. Have you perhaps seen something to guest that the POs are charging for eBay SD parcels (which use RM48) as I haven’t seen this mentioned at all.Interestingly, on Vinted their integrated RM labels never allowed for collection at all, one might hypothesise that they were future planning for this becoming potentially chargeable again. That caused a great deal of upset on the Vinted forums as many people relied on collection if they were unable to get out of the house at all, in fact a lot of house bound sellers said they were being forced to move to eBay as they could no longer sell on Vinted with no collection options at all.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
