Re: Postage price increases

I must have missed something in their price increase info.

 

Some EU countries have increased by almost $6.00 for up to 500g parcel.  I think that has certainly killed my sales to some parts of Europe.  Luckily UK, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and France have remained low.  Have some good sales to Norway and Netherlands.

 

eBay's 10% addition to postage now puts many EU countries over the $30 mark, around the same price as my items.

Re: Postage price increases

There was definitely nothing about those EU countries on the pricing update notice copping an almost $6 increase for shipping, only NZ, China, US, Canada, GB, Ireland & NZ:

Very sneaky and not enough information for the public.
