What a silly system.
I'm currently maintaining a high 4.9 on all my selling accounts for p and p, but I am under no illusions that undercharging will push me up to 5*. Although I did manage it briefly for a while on my business account about 7 weeks ago.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.

I sold some new shoes a few weeks ago and checked them all on our kitchen scales - all seemed ok to go for £2.20 which is what I charged. However I had slight reservations about the one pair as they had a wedge heel and seemed a little heavy. When I got to the post office they were 1g UNDER the maximum allowed for £2.20 thank goodness I didnt stick another strip of parcel tape on.0

Yes, same here. Sent a box of oracle cards to Greece (Delphi must have run out again), which was heavier than I thought it was. Charged £2 above the £2.70 price I'd budgeted as postage on the free postage auction.
Was very relieved I only spent £4.85 because I'd seen a £7-odd weight band for Europe.
Also have been very pleased with the 0-750g UK band. It makes things a lot simpler selling books, and possibly a bit cheaper compared to what it used to be. Surprisingly, you can get an awful lot of book for 750g."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4
