How to send things via couriers

[kitschkoven]

Hello knowledgeable Ebayers,

I have no idea how to send things by courier (specifically, Toll, who my potential buyer is asking for). Thought I'd ask you guys first as you probably have experience/tips from a customer point of view.

Do I need to open an account, or do they do one-off courier services? How do I pay. 

Thanks!

Thank you. I agree about stating in the listing that the buyer must arrange couriers if required.
But it isn't really worth waiting around all day for a pickup (and knowing couriers they may take longer) for a $30 sale. Ain't nobody got time for that

Well Toll was more expensive then postage so we are going the postage route.

I think we are almost at a sale. Buyer is having trouble purchasing so I'm thinking of sending an offer to make it easier for her (full price of course)

If I do this, can I add the postage amount on top, separately? Anyone know?

I'm answering this myself - yes you add postage later. When I sent her an offer Ebay stated it underneath the "send offer" button
