Ebay virgin.....posting charges?

[Pan]

Have a whole host of stuff to get rid of - cluttering up the spare room. When it comes to quoting p&p, how do you do it? I've looked across the site, and it looks as if you have to take it down to the post office and get a price for each item. Shorely this isn't the case?
anyone?

Measure and weigh at home - there is a calculactor on RM site.

Remember to include PayPal fees if you charge exact you will be out of pocket.

ooooh. Best get some scales then. (prob off ebay ). I'll look up p/pal charges.
Many thanks Izzy.

you can not include paypal fees in postage they must come out of purchase price (against rules) you can include packing materials box. bag bubble wrap etc
unless you are a business you can not charge for time, petrol parking as that would make your car a business vehicle and if you charge for time it becomes income that has to be declared ( whether you pay tax on it will depend but iit must be declared!)

i would suggest postage plus 30-40p if not breakable , 50p if they are breakable and 75p for anything that needs huge box

collectplus cheapest for 2-5kg, royal mail cheapest under 1kg , not much difference between courier and royal mail for 1-2kg collect plus is cheaper but have to be near a collection point

Ive recently sent & was charged at the post office:

1 pair of ladies converse £4.70
1 ladies jumper £3.30

Not cheap anymore

Just guess, the post office do!
