what's the best way to post a reasonably large item?

[ellehcim]

I have to post a playmobil castle (hopefully - if it sells on ebay). Is there a cheaper way to do it than ordinary post?

[Marne]

Yes, these

Fab thanks. I would never have thought of looking on ebay for a way to deliver the item.

Now is there a way to amend my listing to change the postage cost?

There are a few others on e-bay that post for £5.99 but these are the best i've used, i have used them 3 times in the past week and they have been great.

Personally, I often use these:

payperdrop £4.99 offer

There have been reports that if something goes wrong, they're not easy to claim from, but I've sent over 200 parcels with them, and no problems so far [touches wood]

BTW, you can't amend postage after a bid has been placed. You could cancel the bids, and do it then if you've only got one bid (I'd inform the bidder first). You can add some text to the auction (I think even after a bid has been placed), but that's not ideal as people often just scan the price and P&P price without even clicking on your auction if the P&P seems high.

Note - when listing, always list the cheapest P&P option first, as this is the one that appears on the search screen
