    Hi honeybear - you need to weigh the item (and factor in any packaging you will use when you post it), then put the weight into this price finder tool on the Royal Mail website http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder;jsessionid=4YHXY3COTADU4FB2IGGUOSQ;jsessionid=4YHXY3COTADU4FB2IGGUOSQ?catId=23500532&reset=true&gear=pricingcalc

    I usually add a bit on for packaging, about 40p/50p on top of what it will actually cost

    Thanks to you all for motivating me into listing some items on e-bay. I have listed 15 items this afternoon and one has a bid already :j
  • Hi all!

    I thought I'd jump in and give e-baying a go! Listed 27 items today :D To be honest most of it probably won't sell but still, worth a try! Thanks for the motivation to get off my butt and get listing (some of it had been in the cupboard for a looooong time!)
