Postage rates

Hi,

Im utterly confused how to charge for postage on ebay

For example I have a lamp that its legs are 135cm, can be unscrewed from head of the lamp. 3 legs and head of the lamp

How do I post something like this, what do I charge? How do I package this?

Ive just got a bid for this now im worried!!

As long as the overall length is under 105cm Aust Post will work for you. Just place the legs into a cylinder of some sort and box the lamp and tape together very well.

You have that lamp listed as pickup only.

It will be very hard to charge for any postage now that there are bids.

I'm seeing the pick up option, but also seeing $30.75 postage to NSW.

They may have blocked postage in WA.

No Eol not that, I'm in rural WA.

@ S&D. I do get the option of local pickup in the postage details as well.

Item also shows $54.20 postage to Qld.

Note: Item is oversize for both Australia Post and Sendle, so you will need to find a courier willing to carry it.

I would cancel the bid, due to an error in the listing, then end the current listing. Then relist as pick up only ensuring there are no postage options available.

Postage is all over the place.

Bali Girl canvas has neither pick up nor postage.

How does the buyer get it?

OP, you should read how to sell before listing things

Im in NSW and it’s showing $54.20 for me.
Other items are free postage, some are pick up only, others have a postage cost added. This seller is all over the shop.
I know I wouldn’t pay $54.20 to have this lamp posted, that’s for sure.
