It’s the last option I saw (using app). What you posted in previous posts was what I saw last time I used custom.
You can set your own price overwriting the EBay price, if you can still purchase your own postage then no issue.0 -
Well I tried the Collection option via Simple Delivery yesterday for collection today and it worked a treat. Label brought by Postie, no 30p charge. Happy days. A few observations though 1) the option only seems to show on the app and not on a desktop. 2) Pre SD, I'm pretty sure you could go up to midnight on the RM website for next day Collection. On SD however, there seems to be a cut-off somewhere between 19:00 and 21:05. The earlier time presented next day slot, but the latter added a day.0

I guess ebay have a business account with royal mail, cut off time for booking collection for that was 20:30 so might still be the same.
I suppose business's will be sending more so it gives them a bit more time to arrange the routes for the van.
It's still midnight on the royal mail site. You can book a collection on there for an ebay label for 30p1
