Has anyone actually used, or try to use one of these new ebay AP labels? And if so, was it successful? Any other comments?

Bumping this because I think it's really important given the current state of ebay.

I have used the ebay postage labels on occasion, there is no hidden trick,   sellers with more volume prefer Aust Post business because of the volume discounts.

Yes, I have in the past too, but back then the AP 'normal' prices were still available and Used to calculate postage.

Now it seems the AP 'normal' priced for 500g & 1 kg (not sure about other categories) Are no longer available:

Oh, and I forgot to add, postage showing on listings has gone from being over quoted to now being underquoted. 

 

And as postage costs when doing a listing is quoted by ebay as $8.36 - $10.93, how on earth are we supposed to know how much it actually is?

 

I would like to know what price actually shows when an ebay/AP label is used.

My best guess is that you are using calculated postage in your listings instead of flat rate postage?

 

If you were using flat rate postage,  i.e. the Aust Post satchels - extra small, small, large, etc, you would know the exact price to charge.    The below sample is what ebay will charge you for using their labels, you just add a small amount for the purchase of satchels, like 25c

 

Flat Rate Satchels

Parcel post

Express Post

Extra Small

$7.28

$9.53

Small

$8.36

$10.99

Medium

$11.44

$14.44

Large

$14.48

$17.85

Extra Large

$17.48

$23.85

Yes, but it's a huge job changing everything to flat rate. ๐Ÿ˜ž 

 

They really should give the choice of both ebay & AP 'normal' prices. 

 

I would really love to hear from someone who has used one to see if the cost correlates with what's now showing on listings.

Those rates are only for zone 1 and not Aust. wide.
