Can be handy, so you can see the total price including P&P and sort it on that price.

I charge less than my competitors for postage and make a point of saying I only charge the true price of postage in my listing. It seems to go down well.

I would definitely prefer separate p&p if I am likely to but several items from the same seller (DVD's are obviously a good example) - assuming of course that the seller offers a discount on multiple purchases.

Having said that, I think the advice to look at past listings to see what works best is probably the best advice

how do you decide the "true" postage cost?
If you only charge the postal price then you are selling yourself short (assuming that you dont load your selling price accordingly).
with this new daft feedback will we all have to write a breakdown of charges on all listings? i.e. post £1.70 + packet £.50p + bubble wrap or paper £.50p + tape £.10p + bus fare/ petrol cost to P.O. + anything upwards of half an hour of your time?
who decides what is reasonable? the buyers?- if so, then all they will consider is the price of stamps:rolleyes:
The vast majority of my items have to be very carefully packed as they have fragile spars etc. in them.
I charge a minimum of £2.95 p&p - the face cost to the buyer is very often £1.70, so that leaves only £1.25 for everything else.
