    I'm fairly sure I read those and didn't see anything about final value fees including postage, but I probably fell asleep half way through reading it.

    It was in an article I've just read in this weeks 'Micro Mart' magazine (sorry can't find it online). Saying that it's being introduced to Ebay. com in the near future, but then so is 'first 50 listings free' for all sellers which I believe will include businesses as well.

    It would help me as I offer free P&P and always feel penalised. Makes the playing field more level.

    As far as I know they are not introducing this to the UK site in the May changes (unless someone can point it out) - its so far only for the US site.

    I'm sure it will happen at some point and I actually welcome it. As theonlywayisup says above, if you offer free postage then it won't affect you. In fact it will hopefully get rid of all the idiots who reduce their item prices and heavily load the postage to avoid the fees!
