    FVF on £10 = 75p
    FVF on £8 = 60p

    Is it really worth lowering your search standing and risking negs etc from unhappy buyers for the sake of 15p?

    Yes if you list 10 or 20 items a week up to 500 items or more, and put postage up by 50p on each item then you will save a lot of money, lots of people are doing the same, no matter whether people like it or not, do a random search on Ebay, and you will see the P&P varies wildly, people put what they think they can get away with, another reason postage is high is that people also use it to pay the final value fees on Ebay and paypal fees for the item that has sold.

    Forget what other people do..concentrate on your own stars. Any seller that continually inflates their P and P to pay their fees will end up worse off. Drop below 4.4 for p and p and you might as well wave goodbye to any good sale prices.
