eBay

Has anybody done the "print postage label" option on eBay through PayPal yet? How do you guarantee you've charged enough postage without weighing/sizing the package?

Also, one of my recent sales, I've got to send to Denmark. What is my best way of getting a true price for continental P&P as the buyer has asked for a final total price?

Cheers

I've been too scared of that option! ;o)
I'd imagine you have to tell them weight and size....

I think only way is to go to Post Office and ask - it's a lot of hassle though. I put a UK bidders only and some fecker still bought from Greece! No complaints really though as I doubled postage, he was happy that and then it was considerably less that I though.

I've used it, and it works very well. It's not all that difficult to weigh and measure a package before sending.

The best way to work out cost is to use the web site of the carrier you want to use. The Royal Mail, for example.

What happens if like me you have got into the pet trade to try and beat the credit crunch?

Most of the cats and dogs I sell lose quite a bit of weight in the post.

I don't want punters complaining that I have charged them £20 postage for an animal weighing half of what I said it did?

Do collection only.
