Which categories have free p&p as standard?

Apart from the media categories, does any other category have to offer free p&p?

I was looking for a hat and they all seem to offer free P&P but can't find anywhere that says this is a prerequisite when listing.

Can anyone help?

  • If it is listed in Men’s or Women’s Accessories sellers have to offer free P&P.
    For a list of the categories with free P&P go to http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/maximumPP_FAQ.html#maxcosts

    Womens accessories have to be free P+P.

    It does seem to be quite hard to find a list of these categories though- I went to sell a film (35mm camera one) the other day and found that it had to be free p+p. :confused:
    Wasn't sure whether it would sell, so I stuck it on Amazon instead and got more than I would have asked for on ebay. :D
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    Found a list HERE. Its towards the bottom of the page. Has a list of the new categories coming on October as well as the ones already with Free P&P on them. That is just the media categories I know it also includes womans accessories.

    Ebay could help everyone if they made this information easier to find
  • Thanks for this. I saw a hat that I liked but in the written description it says p&p is £3 but I was a bit suspicious as nothing else in that category had P&P charges. I have told them rather than report to ebay. If they don't change it then I will do.

    Generally if it says Free P&P but they have a price in the listing. Even if its not in a FREE P&P category its against ebay rules as all they will be doing is trying to appear higher in the searches

    Just found it HERE. Thats going in my bookmarks now. Whats really stupid if you go to the help section and type Free P&P you do not get a list of which categories. I just stumbled across this.
