How to kill Australian business and price them themselves out of a market

Raise their Price yet again.

Any seller out here using the small 500G bags for cheaper items you are going to be priced out of business.

Prices here

I am not sure if C&S prices are going up.

500g satchel $7.85

3kg satchel $12.50

5 kg satchel $15.90

But its all fine to continue to deliver over seas parcels at a loss of $70+ Million a year and make Australians pay for the loss

only thing for it is to move o/seas to save on postage, GST and ebay fees to boot.

Thanks judy-oz that is the direct link, I suggest every seller signs it.

 I have bucked the trend and added the full cost of registered post to all my listings and started using auctivas my rewards where I can give my return customers a kick back every time they shop, to my delight, it is working well. I may be well back in best match but people will seek out good service and are happy to be a repeat customer when they are rewarded for it. Anyone else tried this?:^O

I sold a item weighing under 500GMS I SOLD IT FOR $100 EBAY TOOK CHARGED ME $10 PAYPAL TOOK OUT $3 auspost charged me $20 !!!??? I feel screwed

[straybooksoz]

Where does $20 posatge get it to?

The eBay and Paypal costs are advertised upfront, and AP should be able to tell you the postage upfront, so it shouldn't be a surprise. This thread is about postage price increases in 2012.

Don't forget ebay stand to win on this, as they charge a FVF on the postal charges.

I'm starting to think its just not worth the trouble for the return i get.
