Ebay £1 maximum selling fee

swingaloo

Ive been listing this weekend with the £1 maximum fee on Ebay.

Like a muppet I have listed some jewellery and forgotten to change the 'Global Shipping' option on it.

I have now got a buyer asking me how much would it be to ship to Italy. I wanted to sell within the Uk on this listing so there are no issues with customs, getting lost etc I really don't want to send it abroad.


Question is- If I revise the listing to remove the Global Shipping option does that mean the £1 final selling fee will no longer be available on that listing? Im sure I read somewhere that if you revise a listing then you lose the offer but I cant find it now.

The Global shipping programme means you don't get involved with overseas shipping at all. All you do is ship to the UK hub using whatever postage method you have quoted for the U.K., and eBay do the rest.

Thanks Soolin. I have a problem though with that because first of all there is something on the Global Listing page about jewellery being a restricted item. If that's the case then I do need to go into my auction and amend to UK only.

Also, when you use the Global shipping programme does it give you an option for sending by any other means apart from Royal Mail. I ask because the last time I sold a 'lot' because of the weight I packed in 2 separate parcels so I could do 2 x £3 postage rather than the £13 it would have been with a package over 2kgs.

You can put whatever postage method you want in your auctions , you can't though change it once auction ends.

You should be able to change the listing as long as it doesn't have a Bid as the offer is still on.

If there is another promo on free listings can you queue up your listings and then list them on the dates of the promo or-do you get charged?

Always read the T and Cs as they do change, but usually scheduled listings that go live in the period are included in the offer.
