There is a Domestic Postage option, but I can not find how to include an International Postage option Furthermore, I do not see anywhere which allows me to list on ebay sites worldwide

3 items I recently purchased on e-bay I was overcharged on postage, paid $8.00 was $1.20 paid $9.75 was $1.20 paid $8.00 was $6.60 Have sent a message to the 1st one no answer as yet. Have still got to send message to the 2nd two. I usually do not worry about a couple of dollars but its getting out of hand now. The last time I left feedback about too much postage I got a nasty e-mail from the seller(that was a couple of years ago) thanks.

I selected the 'pick up only' option when posting the ad and stated in the ad that item was 'pick up only as it is fragile and heavy' The buyer now wants the item posted as my expense as they are saying it says free under postage! Of course it does, I chose PICK UP ONLY which is free! HELP!

Is there a way I can turn automatic postage off? EBay always seems to calculate the postage, which is sometimes wrong. But when people have already sent through payments, it's difficult to go back to them for a dollar or two to cover packaging or correct postage. In any case, how does eBay know where the buyer lives ahead of the sale? Thank you!

I brought a pair of high heel shoes within Australia last night, 26-3-13. This morning I get an email saying that she wants more money for shipping as the shoes are to heavy? The shipping is now 13.00 within Australia. Is a seller allowed to change the postage price once you have already paid for the item+orignal postage?

I recently won an auction that had ""free international postage" stated on the listing. The seller sends me a msg two weeks after the sale date (I paid immediately after winning the auction with PayPal), stating that postage will cost me 139 pounds . What are my rights and his obligations in this situation? And how do I go about getting my money back? many thanks in advance for any advice given... bazman

Hi everyone, I'm selling vitamins and I have a few buyers from overseas. Anyone could give me a recommendation for reliable and cheap International postage because I want to give a great price for postage to my International customers. I'm using Australia Post and their postage fee is too expensive for International postage. Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you in advance.

The last few months, Ebay has started chopping off the last few millimetres on the right side of my printed invoice/packing slips i.e. I lose the last digit of the price. This is not a printer setting, because it only happens on Ebay (and the header and footer of the invoice print normally, even though they extend further right than the invoice), and because it also happened with my replacement printer today! Is there a way to adjust the print margins Ebay applies? Or whatever I have to do to make this go away?

Seller tells me to look under purchase history. I find it, but there is no number? Where do I look?

I have a parcel to send to a buyer in Belgium. It is too long in dimensions for Australia Post and hope someone can advise on an alternative company to use. I don't want it to get lost. Has anyone used TNT or FedEx? UPS don't service Belgium. Thanks

Hi, what should I do if after paying for an item, the seller sends me an email requesting an extra 15 euros for shipping ( originally 19.50 euros, now 34.50 ) ? The message didn't come to my ebay inbox, and the email they want the payment sent to is different to the one paypal says the original payment was sent to. I regularly buy things from o/s, and this is the first time it's happened to me. Thanks.

Hi, I've been trying to decipher the AusPost Click & Send info. on their website yet can't seem to fully understand how it works... uh-ha yes I am blonde, lol! I just can't seem to find whether there is any basic insurance coverage if parcels goes missing or are damaged. I understand that there is a Signature on delivery option for a small fee for proof of receipt but are sending items via this method covered at all by a base limit without having to purchase any extra insurance? I'm a hobby seller & have learnt from a past mistake & have only been using Registered Pre-paid post bags but this is quite costly for buyers as each 500g satchel costs $7.85 when purchased in bulk of 10 & then $3.20 is charged for Registration which in total costs $11.05 although I charge $11.00. I have asked both my 4 Iocal post offices in regards to this & have called AusPost numerous times & for some reason I keep having to deal with employees that have no idea or straight answer for me! Seriously one would think AusPost would debrief their staff on what they sell! I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to shed some light on this subject for me in regards to whether it is a viable option with the same or similar coverage, insurance & proof of receipt wise as Registered Signature Post as I would love to save my customers a few extra $ if at all possible via this method. I hope someone out there in eBay land can help me. Thank you for your time in advance! Kind regards 🙂

I'm new at this selling bit, so appreciate any help. I advertised free postage. I'm sending flat A4size envelopes, costing approx $2.80, but today I added a dice which increased the height of envelope to approx 1 cm, postage was $7.30, Australia Post. Only cheap item, so I need an alternative. i need to include the special dice, any ideas? Seems to expensive if I increase the price by $8!

They haven;t paid for the item yet. Was offering free Postage on the item. Just standard 500 grm ebay Satchel. Buyer made offer. I accept. Sent through invoice. Now they want registered post and said they would pay the difference but I would need to send them another invoice. Have not had to do this before, so I am not sure what steps I need to take. Help needed. Thanks.

I am using the autralian ebay and it calculates the p & p for you but you have to put in method of postage (ie. satchel, mailbox) but as it is a canvas painting it is too big to use one of these and there are no options to package myself. What option should I therefor choose?

seanhutchie

***islandgirl***

Hi there 😄 I'm wondering if anyone can help or provide some ideas with international shipping. I currently use Aus Post - below are the details and pros/cons I'm facing! Key Points Worldwide postage Parcels are around 20x20x10cm Weight is under 250g Insurance/Registered is not a must MOST IMPORTANT POINT - Online Tracking is required Cons Registered Post is great for insurance, however does not provide online tracking. Cost - $20 (Drawback - no online tracking) Pack and Track insures up to $500, has online tracking, but only delivers to around 4 countries. Cost - $20 (Drawback - not available worldwide) Express International - ticks all the boxes re insurance, online tracking, and ships to most countries, however comes at a cost of $60 (Drawback - too expensive) Pros I post on a daily basis - the post office is just around the corner from my office I've looked breifly into DHL, however the online quote for my parcel sizes and weight seemed pretty hefty at around $60 per parcel. If anyone has any suggestions at all, these would be most greatly appreciated!!

Hi, Apparently my Item was posted 7 days ago from Melbourne. Normally i have to wait 5 days at most for items from Melbourne. Thanks

jhan9494

I paid for express postage for quick delivery from US and item has still not been posted after 4 days

traceyjane4

I have not yet bid on this item, but would be grateful for any recommendations on a cost effective method to arrange pick up and delivery of dining table, if item is won. Thanks.

grahamr5015

Yes I have been caught several times because ebay has added postal cost without knowing dimension or weight of parcel. Have requested winners not to pay until correct postage has been given but some are quick to pay and I am out of pocket. It all depends on the post code and you dont know that until after the auction. CAN EBAY NOT ADD COSTS TO INVOICES.

pattysam2009

I think I have a better chance of selling some items if I offer postage but have already listed as Pick Up Only. Can I edit this?

I have a small box to send (once sold) and it will be cheapest to send by AP to buyers on the Eastern seaboard. For potential buyers in WA, it will be cheaper to freight. How do I offer both options? Do I use calculate postage and qualify in the details of the sale that I will arrange courier to WA (as it is cheaper)? And, if I do end up with a WA buyer, do I then adjust the postage manually on the invoice? Any suggestions?

I recently purchased 11 items of clothing from the one seller & he charged me $32 combined postage. When Parcel arrived the postage on it was only $23.30 plus tracking $1.55. When I queeried the extra $7.15 charged he replied "costs that contribute to handling costs such as getting a bus to the post office, purchasing packaging tape etc and the time involved". The items were packed in an old disposable nappy box wrapped in brown paper. What recourse do I have if any?

More Knowledge. More Possibilities.
