4pm wasn't right, I've just tried and can't add postage to my books. I'll leave it until tomorrow now!ilovefreegle.org - give it away don't throw it away

Still waiting... I hope the 4pm guess is right, and agree it's just unprofessional of them to not give a time.
It may be a slight improvement, but the limits are still a bad compromise. I'm selling a 2kg+ textbook. How can I post that with a £2.75 limit and not make an immediate loss of £4.31? Ok, I just add £4 to the start price, but that immediately puts off buyers...
Since most places online have free postage on books, or capped at £2.75 like Amazon it means that your book can't look 'too expensive'. It would only be expensive if you were charging a lot more than book shops or Amazon.
Some books by their very nature will not sell at a sufficient price to cover postage, I get a lot of them in the mixed lots I buy and charity shop them straight away.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

What do I do about a DVD boxset? It won't let me put more that £1 postage. Not trying to fiddle anyone, but the postage will be around £3. The P&P terms say that heavy or bulky items may be listed as "other courier" and charged more - but it is not giving me that option?
These limits aren't consistent at all. A nintendo DS game or PS3 game can charge up to £2 p&p!0 -

The courier option, even if you could use it wouldn't work for a box set as you'd end up paying a courier around £6 for delivery as opposed to around £3 via RM.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

What's wrong with
sort by Price + P&P ; lowest first.
Only if everything else is equal, then I go for the seller will the cheapest P&P.
Silly P&P don't even get looked at though.0
