No letter delivery option on eBay?

deadlyblade21 — Sun, 21 Dec 2014 06:40:19 GMT

The minimum and cheapest is the $7.20 option. Letter delivery isn't offered...

So do I choose any delivery option then post through letter delivery?

I just choose flat rate, standard delivery. It also gives the option for registered under flat rate, so I offer both standard and standard registered at letter rates.

No eBay does not offer letter rates with its postage options. No point in paying $7.20 for a small parcel when letter rates at the post office are far cheaper. If you want paypal protection, then add registered post to the letter - still cheaper that a small parcel, I dont worry about registered post unless the value of the item is above $50 - might not be covered for the occasional item that goes missing in the post but I wouldn't sell much if I asked $7.20 for shipping.

No, don't choose "any delivery option". You will annoy your buyers if you choose something like 500g satchel and they get their item in an envelope.

You choose standard delivery and put in the cost of your postage, $1.40, $2.10 or $3.50

For when I want to use the registered post option for letter rate,I always have a pre-paid registered mail envelope

on hand and use the next option on that list,(Standard delivery-Registered (1 to 6 business days).
