I also don't think sellers should charge for time/petrol/wear and tear to footwear walking to post office/earnings lost whilst going to post office etc etc a buyer is paying for postage and packaging, end of, any other fees etc sellers should incorporate into their listing prices, all other businesses that sell over the internet do not try to make money out of their customers through p&p costs.

I have sold items occasionally and never overcharge on p&p, I certainly wouldn't dream of incorporating time and money spent on getting to the post office etc etc into the postage and packing price!, if sellers aren't happy with the auction value then they shouldn't sell on auction! the whole point of this was for buyers to hopefully win items at a good price, auctions are supposed to be a bit of a gamble for the buyer and seller, if something doesn't make the price you wanted then tough, but don't try to rip the buyer off in the p&p

The whole point of an auction is for the seller to make a profit - the more the better. Of course sellers should not be aiming to profit out ebay that is not the spirit of selling at all! :rotfl:

Yes, a profit out of the item NOT the postage

neas

Most users factor Postage+Cost into their decision to buy.. the buyer found I was cheapest out of other sellers for Price +P+P.. then drove down the price a bit more by 'being a little !!!!' as someone put it. I have now amended the postage prices down on the international postage (UK was pretty spot on), and will make a note whenever i sell in future to check weight or guestimate better :P
