Is eBays parcel post the cheapest way to post packages under 1kg in Australia?

[tropical_scene]

No, if you qualify for an Australia Post account (1,000 parcels per year) it is only $6.49 for a parcel 500g or under and $5.78 for local area 500g or under.

Good to know.

What about 500g - 1kg ?

As ebay flat rate box is $7.15

eBay Postage Labels is currently the cheapest for assessed parcels up to 500g.

You need to enter the weight and size dimensions when creating the label. The cost is $7.20 and you receive a 72c rebate from eBay the following month. Cost = $6.48.

I am pretty sure that the rebate program has ended.

No, it's been extended to 31 December.

I missed that update 😞

I haven't seen any announcement. I only happened to notice the extension date last night.

When using the assessed parcel rate, can you still use the ebay satchels and choose assessed rate rather than 500gm satchel rate?
