P&P costs on DVDs

Hi, havent sold any DVDs on e bay for a while and now whenever I try to list them, it wont let me put a postage cost in. It keeps saying it cant be more than 0.
Have they changed the rules or am I missing something obvious?

many thanks

    Yes, it's now compulory to offer free postage on DVD's. You will need to include the postage cost into your start price. However you may find this means your item won't sell at all :(
    No, Mr A, that is NOT 'Great news'!!:D

    Wombling totals: Oct = £243.32 - £93.32 over target!
    Nov Wombling Tally: £27.36 so far... behind target :(

    They have changed the rules, you will have to increase you starting prices or buy it now prices to cover postage too.

  • last time i sold a dvd from my collection it went for 20p over the postage cost.

    i just give them away or sell privately now, last one i wanted to sell was panic room collectors edition, was going for £3 a go and nearly that much in postage, i bundled it in with some computer games and put the price up £3 on a private sale to someone i worked with.

    i would do a car boot sale, £6 a pitch roughly, share a stall with a friend, divide the table and make sure you know which items belong to which person and which container is which persons sales.
    simples :D
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)

    I trust BH even if he's from Manchester.. ;)
