I want to use Australia Post

[silent_whispers]

Hi and thanks for any assistance you may offer. Firstly there were no keyboards when I went to school, so you can guess my age. I regularly buy items on eBay but I'm new to selling on eBay. Ok, my items are small, not expensive, and qualify for Australia Post regular letter which it $2.20. There's no dropdown menu postage for regular domestic postage, so I'm guessing there isn't one. .Also, I have a pile of Australia Post postage stamps that I need and plan to use.  Where and how do I tick the item as being sent without having used a printed postage label?  It seems like you have to print a postage label to activate the "sent" box. Is this the case?? Help

@domino -

Of my 400 or so listings, only approx 150 are untracked, so the majority of items are definitely tracked. On top of which, when people buy multiples of an "untracked" low postage cost item, the combined postage actually levels up to tracked.

I've been doing this for many years - I know my numbers and I know what people buy and how to price my postage. I've sold over 12,000 items across several platforms in the last few years alone and I can say that it is only the minority of items that end up being sent untracked, regardless of what their postage cost says on the listing. Besides parcel post,  I use the large domestic A4 green envelopes to send some of my cushion covers, fabrics and stencils. I use the smaller ones to send things like fabric tape, ribbon etc.

I did not realise this was a competition.

You are doing well.

I'll let you know if you ever get close.

At the moment I'm trying to simply edit one of my active listings and I can't, because I have to keep signing in and doing the security check, repeat repeat, and can't access anything.
Are you having any of those issues?

You should then be able to navigate back to the sign up section and enter the micro amounts.

Hi Sofie_cat.. I had this problem a while ago..same as yours, logging in with my password over and over..It turned out I owed eBay money and my account was kind of halted. Check your messages from eBay and see if you owe them any amounts of money..I paid what I owed them about, mine was just over $10, then everything worked fine.. If that's not the case then I don't know sorry.

@domino - definitely not a competition, but since you took the time and trouble to go and "peek" at my listings and then came back to tell me that according to you, the majority seem to be untracked (post#12) and that I should not offer advice before confirming what type of items can be sent in those envelopes (post #6). The insinuation being that overall I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm only clarifying that maybe, just maybe, after selling several thousand items, I do actually have a clue about how much I use these envelopes and for what purpose and can therefore give advice on the matter on this thread?

The insinuation as you call it was your take.

The truth is those envelopes while being useful for some items - do not cover all items - that should have been clarified.

Certainly not mine.

I had the same problem once...turned out I owed eBay some money, Just over $10, and couldn't do certain things in my account. Maybe check your eBay messages to see if you owe them any amounts ..
