what's up with paypal postage??

I just rememebred why I don't use paypal postage. I have a tiny item to send weighs 44grammes and paypal want nearly £6 as a small packet airmail:eek:

I've tried it several times I've tried it in grammes I've tried it as 0.44 and still it costs out at £5.79.

Blooming eck, think I'll pay my neighbours daughter to go instead as the PO will only charge me £1.68.

    I tried it with the extra .0 but it told me I needed to enter a valid weight (or some such nonsense)

    Bother, I left a couple of selling accounts live thinking that at most I would have one or two sales and could deal with those even though I am working a contract away from home with long hours. Instead I come home to tons of sales and every single one from far flung places I've never heard of and can't even spell.

    yes its 0.044 for 44g. 0.44 would be 440g.

    try entering 0.05 (50g), price is the same up to 0.1 (100g) for small packets
