From time to time I'll sell a pipe on Ebay but I'm encountering a new problem.
I pay the shipping on my sales, and have always just taken the package to my local USPS and paid for delivery that way.
It appears that Ebay has REMOVED all options for me to do that, and seems to be forcing me to pick a delivery system - that only goes through them........
I've tried on both my laptop & mobile, and I'm stymied about how to do it the way I used to.
Has that option been completely removed, or does someone know how to help me?

If you click on their notifications it takes you to their postage platform
If you go through your sellers dashboard you can dig up a way to just enter tracking info that you have bought elsewhere

Its annoying

At least that is how it still works on the french platform which is either an older or dumbed down verson of the main .com version

I've tried every angle I can see, think of, or thought that I did before.....
I'm either missing something (possible), but it seems they've changed it on me and taken away the option I had before to eliminate them from the equation.
Still trying but not yet winning.
And thanks

Actually you DID HELP. Thanks. I found that I could ignore the requests to use their service and I actually could list it without choosing them. I recall now filling in the tracking # after the sale.
Took a chance and made a listing..... and it went through in the manner I wanted it.
Cheers.

Are you shipping it to a foreign country? I know they auto enroll you into shipping it to eBay and they handle the shipping to foreign countries. Years ago I opted out of that program because it seemed odd.

Nope. I will not ship to a foreign country, don't want to get entangled in that. But I did get it handled.
Thanks.
