But I seriously, if I want to send a single tiny cereal premium via registered mail within Australia, the cost is $10 .... PLUS PACKING!!! Add to that the 25% of total value in PP and EB fees...

If tiny (ie sent in a small flat box/mailer less than 2cm thick) it could go at letter rate only $1.20-$1.80 plus registered fee

Personally deliver it if you reckon that's cheaper.

But, USPS prices have become more realistic recently and RM will follow 2/4. Makes AP more competitive.

If I learned anything from selling on eBay, it's that it's rarely useful to rage against the machine. That's about the best I can offer in terms of a constructive response.

I am pretty unimpressed with both eBay and AP at the moment, given some of the recent and upcoming changes from the latter, and both current and ongoing glitches from the former, but at the same time, the harder they make it, the more I'm inspired to learn, come up with new ideas and hopefully build something that won't be shaken up by a glitch here or a price rise there.
