Flat rate postage

I'm slightly confused and can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.

I'm aware of the changes in postage, and flat rate satchers, that have been posted to both the ebay site and Aust Post, but what is confusing me is the pricing?

I have some old small and large ebay satchels that I will be using, and thanks to a conversion chart, I now know that they can still be used and are the equivalent to the Small Aust Post Satchel, and Large Aust Post Satchel.

However, when I select Australia Post Parcel Post Large Satchel as the method of packaging when I'm printing the packaging slip, it states that the price is $14.73, but on the Aust Post site, it states

Our eBay satchels & boxes are part of our If It Packs, It Posts packaging range. That means your flat rate postage is based on the destination and size of packaging you choose. As long as your item weighs 5kg or less – if it packs, it posts.

Then when you go to the pricing table it has

The price for a Large satchel being $15.35.

Long story short, if ebay is printing the postage cost as $14.73, will there be any issues in my parcel being posted?

Thanks

The AP price includes the cost of the satchel itself. If you go with ebay label you have to buy the bags too.

There will be no issues - you can use your old ebay satchels and the ebay labels. A win win for you
