eBay question

Posts: 309 Forumite

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I've put a few bits on ebay to sell. One item is a small light weight ladies tracksuit jacket. I've had 2 requests to see if I'll post to South Korea and Slovenia. I've not sold much before on eBay and never posted out of UK.
Has anybody ever had problems posting to these countries and also don't know how much p&p to charge.
Any advice would be really appreciated,
Many thanks for reading x

You can work out the postage.
Package the item up (so you just need to write the address on the front) and weigh it on kitchen scales.
You can then look up the price on the Royal Mail website according to the destination and the weight of the item.
Personally, I only send items within the UK and I always get a proof of postage from the post office. It's free.0 -

Thanks for your help, I'll do that.

There is no recorded outside UK.
It is up to you how you send though, personally for items up to £46 I use standard 2nd class in the UK and standard airmail outside and don't have any issues.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.
