Man, now I've gotta go back and rethink it all............so you think the actual 'sell price' is the key --- postage is an after thought? I have read so many conflicting idea's that my head is in a perpetual spin. Heeeelp
Example: SELL $49.95 FREE POST against $39.95 + $9.95 post
what grab's ya???? honestly - any buyers out there????

That's why these forums are both a blessing and a curse... 😛
So much information, theories, strategies, opinions and so on, much of it conflicting and/or not applicable or conducive to certain items, categories or sellers....And that's just the stuff from sellers, ask buyers and even more gets thrown into the mix. :^O
But your thread title is considerably apt - you can't employ every strategy, and you'll never be able to please or appeal to every type of buyer - some prefer free post, some mistrust it, so the best thing to do (and stay sane!) is just work out how you want to sell, maybe trying new things every so often and see if they work. JMHO.
All I do is try to be the kind of seller I'd love to buy from. I put free post on a select few things that doesn't look at all like it inflates the purchase price, and leave post costs on the 99% remaining, simply because I know I ultimately prefer to buy from sellers who can give greater value via postage discounts, so that's what I offer. I'd go nuts if I changed things every time someone said "buyers love xxxx and hate yyyy". :8}
