If I have stated method of postage do I have to use it?

[BattyKoda]

As in... I have listed bundles of clothes and said £4 Royal Mail Standard Parcels. If I send with 2nd class stamps will it make a difference?

(New to Ebay!)

The postage calculator wasn't working last night so I guessed, but I've checked today and it says it will cost £4.36 and I've got to pay for packaging on top of that, thats why I'm asking!

Can anybody help?

don't really understand your question

do you mean you already have some stamps?
if so and you intend putting £4.36 worth on the parcel then that's fine. just write standard parcels on the parcel to doubly ensure no complications

You should be able to amend your postage costs or postal service on your listing if you don't have any bids. I must admit I am miffed if I don't get the same postal service I have paid for.

Somebody has already bid... it says it takes the same time to deliver a standard parcel as it does 2nd class stamped... whats the difference?

I think it will be fine, since it won't take any longer to get there.

I wouldn't get bad feedback would I?

you can only post a 2nd class packet up to 1000g and this costs £2.84. If your packet weighs under this and you send 2nd class then I would refund at least 70p with a note stating that when you got to the post office you discovered that you had charged too much etc etc etc - this should prevent bad FB

Thank you

How do I refund?

once they have paid (paypal) there is a refund button toward the bottom of the paypal details page where you can do a refund or partial refund. Don't send a it as just a payment though as they will get fees deducted

Ah, OK... I'm feeling a bit out of my depth! Will get the hang of it in the end though!

I didn't realise Paypal charge a fee, so when I get paid for an item, paypal will deduct some money?

(thank you for helping BTW!!)

BattyKoda - I'm sorry my post was misleading. I thought standard parcels was a day or two slower than 2nd class. One difference, though, is that you can't use recorded delivery on standard parcels.
