Hi everyone,Thank you for taking the time to read my post. When it was announced that the “free to sell” was coming I was happy. I’m just a seller of my handmade crochet baby blankets. I love what I do and I don’t make much and I never expected too.Earlier this week I had my first sale on the “free to sell” way. I packaged my sale and off I went to the post office, paid my postage, uploaded tracking on Australia Post website and mobile app and then went to upload tracking to my buyer.Frustration kicked in. I spent the best part of a couple of hours trying to work out what was wrong. I then spent another hour with customer service.I thought I’d better advise my buyer their tracking number, which I did.I couldn’t even mark the purchase as “sent”. Customer service assured me that I wouldn’t receive a defect to my account if my account went into a “not shipped” loop.Am I being forced to use eBay labels? Will I lose my ability to sell on eBay if I don’t use them?I already have a discount QR code with Australia Post and eBay labels will cost more.Am I alone with the frustration or do other casual sellers share the same frustration?
