ebay help
strapping young lad:
thing is ive bought something then realised the postage is more than the item but its caveat emptor
you click on buy now or you win you know what you're letting yourself in for
if not then you're too naive for ebay
bezzabsa:
The latest one is charging £1 for an item then 20 or 30 for postage.. that way ebay gets less in commission, and also charges you less...
rollazuki:
Ive had the same grief. I try to get pretty accurate on the post costs now, and if Im way out of line I PPal the excess back. Keeps people happy.
Ive had neg feedback for a dumbass who didnt read/understand my advert(and subsequent emails)
At least you get chance to post a reply if you get neg feedback.
Some people are way too precious about these things, but if its them that have bought your item, then you need to tread carefully to avoid neg feedback.
Ill be honest, 7 quid for a secondhand box, a bit of tape, and some newspaper is steep, but if you posted the carriage at a set price they new what contract they were getting into.
No easy answer is there....!
strapping young lad:
yeh
maybe make it clearer in the description about how the postage cost is broken up
then they cannot argue
or resign to the fact that there are many clowns on ebay who are rightious and want something for nothing

--- Quote from: "discograham" ---And as for postage... I do three trips a day to the post office getting postage prices.. mostly U.S, Canada and Australia... and post off same day as paid for.. I make a tiny bit on postage.. and I mean tiny.. (£7.50 for a box and newspaper ? :shock: ! :lol: .. sorry.. I couldnt do that ! )
Today is a good example.. 66 parcels out £107.00 postage..
but thats only due to no post office open on monday...

Kenny, you sound so sceptical about what I've said that I do'nt think you believe me ! :shock: .. I sell low weight items as a rule.... just so you do'nt doubt me I'll pm you later with a few details and you can check it out yourself.. and not all those parcels went overseas...
Damn.. I hate not being believed...
