Hi all,
Having seen the postcode indicator on various listings, how can my husband put one on his listings. It is the one where the buyer puts their postcode so that approximate postal costs can be worked out instead of just putting a dollar amount - he has been out of pocket on a couple of his items.
Thanks for any help,
Di

Yes, that's what I meant - thanks for following up my messy question.
Will also point John to that link for AP.
Thank you and cheers,

Di you dont guess ANYTHING, just select CALCULATED postage, and put in the exact measurement of the parcel and the exact weight.. it is all done automatically then, calculated by the computer when an eBay buyer looks.... you do NOTHING but the weights
yes you should choose Registered Parcel Post as the option, to cover yourself in case of a paypal dispute.
once he gets the hang of selling, get hubby to check out CLICK AND SEND, it's an aust post delivery choice that is cheaper than registered, and provides paypal protection too.

If your items will fit in the ebay branded satchels, 500g and 3kg which are processed and paid for on line through click & send then that is the most cost effective way of sending with tracking that will give Paypal seller protection. You can also use the B1, B2 and B4 AP boxes with click and send.
As they are all sent flat rate to anywhere in Australia you can use flat rate postage and just enter what you want to charge including a small amount for packaging and handling.
If something is worth more than $50 you should use the signature required option which means you have up to $100 cover, anything over that and you have to purchase extra cover.
For parcels that won't fit in satchels then if you wish to be covered for seller protection you will either have to use click & send with your own packaging which costs $1.50 on top of the stamp cost or registered post.
Anything under 500g goes at a flat rate, it is only parcels over 500g that you have to worry about. For them you just choose calculated postage, select which service you wish to use and enter the dimensions and weight, add any p&h charge and then leave it to ebay.

Thanks phorum-junkie,
More valuable information for John to remember and he thought he had left school years ago.
Cheers,
