Aldi goods on Ebay
I was doing a search for reviews on an Aldi hair product earlier and Ebay came up as selling it, at 300% of the Aldi price. Just curiosity really but who buys these things?

How to change ebay postal label option for RM 48
I sold an item, which is quite small and lightweight so it could easily be classed as a small parcel, or be sent as RM tracked 48, the latter seeming to be the better due to increased value. I priced at about £3.50 postage, but was going to purchase the label through eBay, but the only tracked 48 option was showing as…

Are carrier choices clear to buyers for SD?
Are buyer's easily able to see a choice of carriers?

First Class Signed For letter issue
I looked at the royal mail website and 1st class signed for £3.60 seemed to be the best bet for me to have peace of mind my letter would get delivered to the addressee asap.
