    With the "new" postage prices, sending abroad is often cheaper than sending to the UK, for bulky items.

    Where did he get £4.95 for 2kg from? It's £13.65 plus a £5er for the signature.

    Please can I have some guidance.
    I'm trying to sell my old baby stuff, I have about 8 watchers and still 5 days to go.

    I have a potential bidder asking if I would post to Norway. The item Value is less than £20 and under 2kg. He has sent me link via Royal Mail cost of £4.95

    I remember reading that could be problems selling overseas. Was wondering if this is an ok courty. Bidder has a good feedback 100% and a regular ebayer.

    What you guys think?

    No way is it £5 to send a 2 kilo parcel to Norway. Get a quote asap from Royal Mail so she knows how much it really is.


    btw - its up to you if you want to send it insured. Insurance is I believe £5.15. What if the item sells for £50, you might want to consider insuring it.



    By the way, all buyers are 100% positive feedback as it is impossible to leave a negative or neutral for a buyer.

    The item won't sell for £50 cause you can get it brand new from the net for £20. So only some crazy person would buy used for more than that.

    I'm going to go my local branch tomorrow to check the price.

    This is the price finder i used.

    Shocked that its cheAper to send to Norway than to uk. Hope I've done the right thing, she's already made a bid.

    The weight is 500g

    Thanks for the feedback stuff, didn't know it was hard to leave a negative comment.
