I looked online and can't find any RM price increases for 1st April.
Yet on eBay, when I choose 2nd class 100g large letter it is £1.32.
RM website has it as 83p.
As from today, Hermes are making changes to pricing and weight bands. I use Hermes on eBay.
Quoted Hermes email below:
From 00.00 am Monday 1st April 2019, the following prices and weight bands will be put in place:

Are you sure that price is for 2nd class on ebay? As of a couple of months ago it was £1.01 to send a 100g large letter 1st Class so that would seem to be a huge increase. I'd double check that.0

RM prices went up last Monday and we had a few threads about it on here including this

They didn't go up a great deal though, and in fact as at yesterday eBay shutl parcels 2nd class were coming up at £2.90 compared to the Rm price of £3. Are you using like for like when checking as the price limit for large letters goes up at 100g , so you might be looking at one price below 100 and one above.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.

From what I saw on the Hermes website earlier, the "postable" option does not have any compensation cover.0

I agree, I did a dummy quote and the postable does not carry any insurance.

Im needing to post an item that would qualify for 'portable'. Right enough, no cover, so thanks for pointing it out! Think I'd rater pay £0.60 and have an extra piece of mind and just save myself some time by using import. So typical though, they introduce a new service, which in theory sounds great but in practice...0
