·8 months agoThis change is such a joke. I'm now losing money on sales to the US because eBay don't charge sufficient postage costs. Of course, there is currently no way to print labels to the US even if I did want to use the Ebay system.

·8 months agoHuh???
I've made more than a dozen sales to US over the past week. I've lost no money on any transaction - in fact my profit margin across all of those sales averages around 250%.
I've experienced zero problems with printing labels, and my handling fee covers all costs incurred by buyers being undercharged for postage - and some.
To be honest, I can't see how anyone would be adversely affected by the current setup - unless of course they actually allow it to happen.
Here's a genuine piece of advice for you... if your business model can't handle a very basic postage increase (which is effectively what this is), then perhaps it's time for a change - just saying

·8 months agoI was just charged $9.53 for an x small satchel using eBay postage.
pnc75
OP8 months agoParticularly frustrating when X small is a set $9.70 on AP (without MYPost Business), but not so on ebay. And yes, I know their excuse is zones.

·8 months agoFor me (in NT) it is showing $92.19 😲
But when I open the listing, it shows $21.97
If I was a seller, I would be very angry. The average buyer would scroll straight past with that postage showing on the first page.

OP8 months agoThanks, Amber. It's absolutely ridiculous. I have no words...... well, not printable ones. This has been over a week now.
pnc75
OP8 months agoObviously things are STILL a huge mess!
This is the worst I've ever seen ebay, and I've been here for a long time.
pnc75
OP8 months agoYes, but it's a huge job changing everything to flat rate. 😞
They really should give the choice of both ebay & AP 'normal' prices.
I would really love to hear from someone who has used one to see if the cost correlates with what's now showing on listings.

·8 months agoConsidering you can bulk edit the postage options on up to 2000 listings at a time, revising your 300 odd listings should take but a few minutes. It's not really such a huge job at all
pnc75
OP8 months agoThey are different weights, and flat rates do not allow for different zones, as you know.
curraone
·8 months agoI don't know what you mean? The flat rate postage means exactly that, it is the same rate all over Australia. No need for zones.
pnc75
OP8 months agoYes , of course, curra. You're right. 🙂 Unfortunately, AP boxes aren't the right sizes for a lot of my listings. And I prefer recycled packaging. To each his own.
brickworksmarket
·8 months agoJust looked at purchasing a label and the dimensions on a small parcel no longer change the price so it appears this is now fixed.
pnc75
OP8 months agoOh, and I forgot to add, postage showing on listings has gone from being over quoted to now being underquoted.
And as postage costs when doing a listing is quoted by ebay as $8.36 - $10.93, how on earth are we supposed to know how much it actually is?
I would like to know what price actually shows when an ebay/AP label is used.
curraone
·8 months agoMy best guess is that you are using calculated postage in your listings instead of flat rate postage?
If you were using flat rate postage, i.e. the Aust Post satchels - extra small, small, large, etc, you would know the exact price to charge. The below sample is what ebay will charge you for using their labels, you just add a small amount for the purchase of satchels, like 25c

·8 months agoThose rates are only for zone 1 and not Aust. wide.
curraone
·8 months agoFlat rate satchels are Australia wide, not zoned
davewil1964
·8 months agoPrepaid are not zoned.
Postpaid are zoned.
curraone
·8 months agoI don't know what that means
Flat rate postage is not zoned.
davewil1964
·8 months agoIf you use prepaid satchels, they are a flat rate Australia wide.
If you use AP MyPost Business, they are zoned.
Discounts don't apply to prepaid, except for quantity discounts
curraone
·8 months agoI see now that this information is incorrect. It should say Zone 1. I apologise if I misled anyone.😟

pnc75
OP8 months agoYes, and it makes a difference. For extra small to zone 3 for example, not worth it for the sake of 19 cents. better to have it added to your mypost business transaction count.

·8 months ago"Oh, and I forgot to add, postage showing on listings has gone from being over quoted to now being underquoted"
On the actual listing maybe but ....
I'm logged in so your items are showing how many km to my postcode.
EG : Your item number 267450619904 is showng $69.69 delivery in a search but when I click on the actual listing it shows postage as $21.97
pnc75
OP8 months agoAnd for me it's showing $19.47, which I know is incorrect as it's Very big and heavy; almost 3 kg
And it's something that can't be set at a flate rate, as it's well over a kg and zones kick in.
curraone
·8 months agoI have used the ebay postage labels on occasion, there is no hidden trick, sellers with more volume prefer Aust Post business because of the volume discounts.
pnc75
OP8 months agoYes, I have in the past too, but back then the AP 'normal' prices were still available and Used to calculate postage.
Now it seems the AP 'normal' priced for 500g & 1 kg (not sure about other categories) Are no longer available:
pnc75
OP8 months agoBumping this because I think it's really important given the current state of ebay.
davewil1964
·8 months agoNo. I use AP MyBusiness.
