I've recently listed a few pieces of clothing and shoes. In the listing, when it came to the P&P part, the automatic suggestion of £2.80 was recommended so I clicked and continued.
Then I googled and saw that ebay commission is now also 10% of P&P and I looked at Royal Mail and saw a small parcel would be £2.85 to post. So not including any costs of packaging or getting to the post office, you would need to charge £3.20 - ish to break even.
Am I missing something? When I did sell something I was asked if I wanted to print a label. I thought, okay that'll save me writing on the parcel, but it was to print off a postage paid label (assume like the returns labels you get with online shopping) which I assume I would be charged for.
I suppose what I am figuring out is if I tick the recommended £2.80, is that what I pay to Ebay to print their label off, and is that then free of their commission?
I did try looking through their FAQs but still couldn't find the answer. Just some stuff about how they want to promote a free P&P environment.
