Thanked 74 Times in 47 Posts help with ebay please
Hi, I have just taken my first steps of putting some items for sale on ebay.
One item weighs 2kg and will cost about £8.00 postage via post office.I phoned DHL and they would charge £29.! Someone selling a similar item is only charging £3 for postage.My question is ..How can he do it so cheaply?? Am i missing something here??? Thanks.
I want money...that's what I want

Dunno, sounds a bit low. Maybe they've mistakenly entered the wrong postage amount?It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.
Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.0 -
£5.31 by standard parcels (Royal Mail).
tip - Always list the cheapest option first in eBay as this is what the buyer sees initially. This can be free if the buyer collects, for instance.
I charge 99p for a standard inland letter. 32p for a stamp, 2p for the envelope and the rest covers my time to go post it (and listing/final value/PayPal fees). Within EU its £1.99 and worldwide it's £2.99. I love sending things worldwide!

Sounds like he may have entered the wrong postage amount unless he is selling at a loss! It may be that he has not accounted for the postal charges system?Weight Loss - 102lb0
