Question Postage listing on tabs in Packaging & Shipping

Postage listing on tabs

lounobbstav — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 04:56:17 GMT

I live in an area that does not have courier service. The listings state postage which one would assumes will be sent in the mail. I have had numerous purchases cancelled when I advise there is no courier service to Norfolk Island. Could your tabs have a choice button for sellers when listing which they click for postage (meaning Australia post) or courier? I buy a lot from Ebay and find it very frustrating.... please help

Not eBay here, this is the member to member forum

eBay do not take requests, even if they did read here

There is no need to assume, every listing states where the seller posts to and where is excluded and what service is used by the seller

Yes, postage does mean sent in the mail but no all sellers post to all places

The time to advise sellers that there is no courier service where you are is before you buy

I don't have any tabs, so your question makes no sense.

Besides, sellers have the choice of offering whichever shipping methods they choose, and you have the option of selecting whichever shipping method you like during checkout. If you don't want a courier delivery, then don't select that service. If the seller offers no alternatives, then purchase elsewhere - simples. It's not rocket surgery.

Also, eBay don't sell anything - so you must be buying a whole lot of nothing from them.

"The listings state postage which one would assumes will be sent in the mail"

Am I missing something ?

As I understand it, the OP sees

Postage : 'eBay Postage Labels'

as the delivery method on listings and would like to know if the sellers are using Australia Post or Sendle.

An absolute pain if they have to keep checking with sellers first.

The OP suggested it would be a good idea to have those two choices shown seperately as they have no courier service in their area.
