postage in FVF for an occasional seller

[alexpec]

I think  that your proposed addition of the postage to FVF is a blatant ripoff, and I will have to think twice about selling anything and posting it to anywhere in Australia through Ebay.

I  dont have an E store and sell personal items very occaisionally , the added cost takes the shine of selling  particularly when you sell something for $50  and it costs another 50 to post it to the other side of Australia, which I already have experienced.

Basically, anything that costs $50 to post needs to be listed as pick up only.  I don't agree that ebay should be allowed to charge anything on the postage.  They already had a rule in place that a  free postage listing had a higher chance of being noticed.

Unfortunately some sellers tried to make their selling price really small and their postage price too much, or else their item was only worth $5 but it cost $13 to post it and ebay didn't get their cut so they think.

Every time they do this stuff they lose the small sellers and that is exactly what they want.
