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

The option does show on the desktop although it's not as obvious as on the app. Somewhere over the right hand side is a bit of text saying 'book' and you need to click on that BEFORE clicking Get Label .zackary71 said:Well I tried the Collection option via Simple Delivery yesterday for collection today and it worked a treat.

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 -
Simple delivery doesn't appear to be working today....I've just managed to list two items with custom postage, with Simple Delivery just causing the page to error if it's selected.Madly, it still claims that Simple Delivery is the only option, despite having custom postage clearly selected and on the actual listings now.I'll be very interested to see what actually happens if they sell...0

Just had a message from ebay;
"We wanted to let you know that a recent technical issue has affected the delivery of some of your orders. Unfortunately, these parcels couldn’t be delivered to your buyers and will be returned to you over the next few days."

How odd, a technical issue that affects deliveries . I wonder if this is the same on and off glitch that keeps happening on Vinted.savergrant said:Just had a message from ebay;
