I always use this one which I find quicker than the Royal Mail one and perfectly good for standard stuff.

Hi

Thanks for all your replies.

I think the problem I'm having, is that I want postage costs for a parcel weighing 4.5 kg for Europe and for Worldwide. But I have realised that it seems the cost varies between European countries and between worldwide countries, making it difficult (impossible!) to put a standard price in my ebay listing!

I always have worked out a standard price for the UK, Europe and worldwide so that I don't get endless emails asking for postage costs. However, on this ocassion, I think I will have to!!

Thanks again

Donna

I always look at similar items and average their p&p

it's all very well taking an average but it is very easy to get caught out!:mad:

I just sent an item to USA - took it to the PO to get conf it could go as a small pkt because it was an odd size, but we (postmistress and I) slightly underestimated the final packed weight including wrapping, labels, customs stickers etc.

I ended up with £0,23:eek: for some considerable packing and trip to the post office not to mention e-mail comms!

It really is better to check! and also better to state quite clearly differnet prices for Europe and worldwide. Mind you if my buyers are anything to go by you will still get silly beggars buying a UK listing and sending payment for that plus postage to UK address and expecting me to send to USA or UK buyers buying my US listing in dollars and wanting me to combine with another Sterling item :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hi

The problem with the parcel I hvae, is that there is almost a £20 difference between some countries within Europe! I thought all European countries had the same postage. It is the same with worldwide.
