Using the postal system for buying and selling lego during this crisis?

I just have a question regarding the current situation we are all in. I have recently lost all my main business earnings for the time being due to the lockdown we currently have in the uk, however I still have the lego side of my business which I'm able to continue with if I choose. However I am very unsure on if I should be continuing it or not through the post offices. In the uk the post offices are allowed to be open and people at this given time are still allowed to post pretty much whatever item them want. I want to make clear that since the lockdown has been in place I HAVEN'T posted anything and have removed all my listings on ebay. I still however see so many people listing items etc showing they are still doing it, money is obviously very tight for me and a lot of others at the moment and still operating my lego business would of course help over the next few months or however long we are on lockdown. What is stopping me is that it seems wrong to still do it, I do believe it should be more of essential items being delivered at the moment but that of course is very hard to judge what is essential for one person to another, is it essential for me to earn a little bit of money to tide me offer until the government help kicks in? Just to note our online stores in our country still operate as normal selling what they choose. I read something earlier from the post office saying that they do need to remain open to all businesses and they say its important to deliver all goods to fund the whole operation. Like I said I haven't been to the post office since our lockdown began as my MAIN WORRY is about the post office workers in this crisis, they do a great job and have amazing measures already in place to protect the public but it seems wrong to add to the burden of carrying out these tasks when clearly some people are already uncomfortable in there positions. I would really like some opinions on this matter, I'm guessing a lot of you would of already thought about this. Stay safe to everybody. This has impacted so many of our lives, we all need to stay strong together as one.
