    For those of you selling on eBay - how do you know how much to charge for postage? It's been 10 years since I sold anything on eBay and it was when I lived with my mum and she worked for the Post Office so she could tell me roughly how much things would cost. Now I have no clue and I want to sell some clothes :)

    You can use this - just need to put in the dimensions and rough weight

    You can also do it the other way round and look at the max dimensions and weight for each one and work out whether the thing you're selling will fit

    For pretty much any clothing item, it will fit in a small parcel for £2.80 second class. Don't forget to add on an amount to cover the final value fee (which is charged on postage very unfairly) and also packing materials

    You'd be surprised. My husband had some old football comics from the 80's he told me to recycle them. I just got £55 :eek: for them on eBay.
