Doing that you would IMO have been slightly better off instructing by phone prior to 1pm and being part of the 3pm sale. This would have only incurred a £7.50 commission (or rather ever so slightly more as it's 0.75%) so the sell price would have to be down to 474 or so before the option you took was the better of the two.

You're right, I may have squeezed a few extra quid out of it, but I just wanted it done and dusted. £325 profit will do just fine for me!

It's not very clear is it!?

I use Shareview for other shares and work share plans, and no it's not clear, it throws me each time I use it.

Sold mine for around £4.79 earlier this morning, sure they've gone up, and may go up more, but happy enough with my profit.

Sold 162 shares at about £4.80ish Got back my £750 invested and I get the remaining 65 Shares for free

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks they've managed it online! An emailed confirmation would be nice, but I imagine their systems are rather busy...

Ok guys here is how to get to the sell screen at Equiniti

Got to

shareview.co.uk/dealing

Scroll down about half way and click on the link under this section

Share certificate and CSN dealing

On the next screen click the TRADE NOW button top right

Fill in your details but select DON'T HAVE ACCOUNT and use RMG for your share code

On the next screen select Royal Mail Plc Ord Shs 1p

On the next screen select Corporate Nominee Service and enter your shareholder reference.

Tick the box at the bottom of the next screen and continue

You should then be at the screen to sell your shares

Does this work with share certificates? I'm still waiting to receive an email!

That's one way to do it. Another option (which I'm thinking of doing) is to sell 65 to get the £350-ish "money for nothing" then leave 162 shares worth the original £750 invested. You can then either keep them for the dividend or sell if the price goes silly over the next few weeks.

Same boat!

I wish someone who chose share certificates would confirm if they've got an email!

Is it worth the double fees (£17.50) you think?
