    The ebay prices drive me nuts, £2.50 to put a paperback in a jiffy bag, don't think so, a £1 should cover it. I usually drop the seller a mail saying ' I was interested in your auction but will not be bidding as the postage cost is too high'

    IMHO Ebay is about making money on the items you sell , postage is just a way to get them to the winner. When i sell i charge postage at cost..

    You could try this site - it's a price search site just for books

    Does anyone know how the postage works on amazon? Just thought, I've got 4 books listed for meetings up until November so if I ordered all 4 on one lot of postage it wouldnt be so bad. Plus it would save huge ammounts of time each month, searching the books out.

    Mind you, I suppose I am probally living in hope that all 4 will be in stock and all 4 will be 19 or 20p :)

    if you are buying anything used on amazon you can't talke advantage of bulk delivery or free over £20 delivery etc as they are all coming from different places
