Ebay beginner

I have sold on Amazon for ages, but after a tidying blitz I think it's time to try selling on Ebay (I have 100% as a buyer).

Can one of you experts point me towards the best reasonably priced scales to use to calculate postage costs?

Thanks

    Royal mail website will provide you with rates/weight.

    just go by what others on ebay charge for postage of similar items, although some charge far too much, but you'll be able to spot them.

    Blimey technology has really moved on now then? How do you do it - just hold the parcel up to the screen showing the Royal Mail website and it tells you the weight?
