Australia Post Click And Send V Local PO V Ebay Labels

[crowsman53]

Hi All

I am a great believer in Click And Send but tonight I dont know..I sold an item 5.1 kg 80 cm Long 55 cm Wide and 5 cm Deep. It has to be posted within my State. C&S want to charge $28.45, I thought that was a bit high concidering other items I sent recently.... I logged on to AP Website and did a calculated postage with the exact same weight and size and guess what... Its cheaper to take it to your local PO. $16.35. Now I dont normally do eBay labels as I like to pay as I go but decided to check them out and $14.45..for an eBay Label.... Now that is a big difference between 3 different scources..Can anyone explain the big difference?? Guess which I used????

eBay Postage labels are about 10% cheaper than taking a parcel to the PO and buying postage there. Which explains the difference between $16.35 PO and $14.35 (ebay online postage label)

C& S I don't use, maybe someone else will reply about that.

With eBay online postage labels, when I buy one, I pay off that amount on my seller account via paypal.

You should try click and send again. 

I logged into c&s and got $16.35.
