I got a quote on posting this today its either 2x 9.35 for royal mail std parcel which will be really difficult for me as I dont drive and theese are big .Or 2x£14.99 for parcel force. This would really put me off if I was considering bidding.

You can post up to 10 kg for £19.54
on Royal Mail special delivery.
That would be a better bet than
standard or recorded post x 2

Also there is a size limit on recorded
mil on special delivery this does not apply

How can someone bid 20p less than 1p?

Did he say he wanted 19p to take them off your hands?


Am I being thick and missing something? It happens.


PS, was it a Prince Albert you had done? :eek:

I'm assuming you are a man, possibly wrongly.

The buyer sent me £8 to cover the postage, which cost me £7.99. The teddies sold for about £11, but the next highest bid was only 20p less than that, and when I checked the bidder details, they were listed in Staffordshire.

So the 1p extra was to contribute to the all packaging, travel, waiting, phonecalls and general faff I had to go through to send them.

Which explains why P&P is more than the price of a stamp.... If I list a collection only item, it is exactly that. I'm not making the same mistake again.



(yep, I've checked me again - I'm deffo male...)

Hi thanks for that but there are 2 separate parcels weighing 5 and 5.9kg so that would be twice the charge of £19 .As it is no more than 4kg then it jumps to 10kg thats how its worked out online.

could you not use an online courier service? balloonandgift on ebay do a 24/48 hr service for £6.00 so that would only be £12.00.

Can't really tell the size of it but with normal DHL you're allowed up to 120x60x60 cm
And for RM parcels "Standard Parcels is ideal for items up to 1.5m long and 20kg in weight, provided the combined length and width doesn’t exceed 3m"

Your average industrial estate should be full of boxes of all sizes going spare
If you're stuck tape 2 smaller ones together

hi, i was wondering if you could please help me pulliptears?

last night i listed a bundle of 9 My Little Ponies + accessories and i already have lots of watchers and a question about a buy it now price. i really didnt think it would generate so much interest so soon (it has more interest than my Tornado and Lightening). i know none of the ponies are valuable so maybe its one of the accessories. i was wondering if you could take a look at the auction for me and see if you can see what they are all so interested in and maybe give me an idea of what i should give as a BIN price.

Any help most appreciated.

Certainly, PM me your link. I wouldnt consider a BIN price though, there are a few dubious collectors out there who badger sellers for BINS to get the items cheaply.

drop me a PM anyway and Ill take a look

I used to love My Little Pony.
It was the only girly thing I was into.lol.

I used to own a My Little Pony board game. I didn't know anyone else with it. Not sure if it was worth anything though.
