Hi,
Im just wondering how sellers on eBay are providing items so cheap and offering free postage?
example..an iphone charger for $6 including free postage.
A normal postage cost for a parcel under 500g is about 6.60
How would you get cheap postage rates or even make a profit on items that are <$6? regardless of dropshipping

you dont make profit. ebay expects its sellers to fight each other until they make nothing. win for buyers. while sellers pay all the fat ebay fees.

A good seller will price their items to ensure that the buyers pay their fees.

my advice to you is stop whinging, stop whining, stop acting like a child, stop using PayPal, and stop selling on eBay.
Nobody but yourself can make to decision to eliminate eBay fees from your life. Grow up and make that adult decision to not pay any fees by not selling if the fees offend you so much.

when I sell a camera I offer "free postage" and build the cost of postage into my Buy-It-Now price. I even build in the eBay fees, the GST on fees and the PayPal fees.
That is how I make a profit on items with free postage.

I was told by one ebay seller,
when I asked "how do you sell it so cheap"?
His answer was:
"it's quantity"

And it took you 9 years to come up with that revelation.
