Postal Charges.

Post by kerbside »

On ebay, a tattered 67a box only for sale, but the postal charge is 50 pounds, and it is on for 10 days. I will not put the item # on here as it still has the 10 days to run.

Crazy. I suppose that is one way to guarantee your minimum desired amt. Is anyone actually bidding on it? :(

It doesn,t make any sense to charge postage like that,ebay still has 10% of the postage and paypal roughly 5%,before the postage was commission free on ebay so sellers added money to it,to save charges,might be a mistake ,if you are interested in the box perhaps you should query it,it could be the previous listing that he did was very heavy and he didn,t edit the postal charges on his next listing.

If it's the one I've seen post is £3 in UK maybe a higher rate for overseas and global shipping has pushed it up

Seems crazy but i get the feeling some sellers do not want to deal with foreign buyers and prefer to sell within their own country hence the inflated postal charges.

Ebay has a way to report an item with excessive postage.
