Alternatively for letters you could use wonderful advances in technology such as the FAX machine and E-MAIL. They're much cheaper

Unfortunately it starts to make this particular line look expensive if i bung another 50p on top for the extra. What I have done is downgrade to 2nd class and just added a few pence on to recover part of the difference.

Good thinking Soo, but [although I'm making the possibly incorrect assumption that your item is not unique on eBay] remember that other sellers will be in the same boat WRT postage prices!0 -

But presumably you would be able to offer a better multiple purchase postage discount, thereby possibly increasing your sales?0 -
If it's a local letter, get off your fat @$$ and go and post it direct yourself. Guaranteed delivery at the best price possible.0
