    the seller fold me that can only use the courier what ebay say is this true

    this would be unfair for the buyer as he or she can not ask the seller to have there parcel ship out with other courier

    No, sellers can use Auspost or whatever courier they like.

     

    And you can ask the seller to post via a different courier but they don't have to agree.

    The time to ask though is before you buy.

    Once you have bought, the seller may not be willing to send any other way than that mentioned in the ad because the price isn't necessarily the same & they may already have organised & paid for postage with whatever company they have chosen.

    If the item is too large for Australia Post, then a courier would be the only option.

     

    If this is not the case look elsewhere.

    I read the heading (as best I could anyway) as the OP saying the seller told them that 'eBay chooses which courier is used' 

     

    Rather than the seller had to use 'a' courier 

     

    But even after coffee I'm still not sure which it is

    Nah, I've got a very good friend who was with the SASR in Vietnam and introduced me to their spiced rum - and I'm smitten.

    At the end of the day it is up to the seller to decide which courier they use.

     

    If they offer courier X,  and you dont like it you can ask them to use Y.    But if they say no,  thats their call. 

     

     And you have the option of not buying or going with their option.

     

    The power is in your hands,   if they dont want to use your preferred courier,  buy else where.   Nothing is unfair,
