    Not sure about the cost but you'll need to post it special delivery and not recorded delivery. Recorded will only give you compensation of upto £39 if it goes missing in the post. Special delivery will cover you up to £500.

    It's really best to weigh it, on kitchen scales if necessary and then work it out properly on the Royal mail site.

    However, for item s over £39 recorded is not suitable, you should use special delivery or consider parcels with added insurance (which are not tracked though )

    Also you might want to check if you are selling on ebay whether this is a price capped postage item, I thought games consoles were now. If it is then you would need to make sure your start price included the additional postage over and above the capped amount.
