now is it posible that the ebayers who go to the item have post box addresses,  and it shows free postage  , as this is courier only deliveries, just a thought .   because in galery it even shows me free postage but when i click on it   shows me a price,   only a very small posibility, but what the heck,

My guess is that the seller is using a postage rate table and has set the fixed base rate as 0 and added a surcharge for each area.

 

This will then show as free post in the gallery and the postage costs will only show when you go into the actual listing.

 

I just checked on my active accounts on my laptop. Every single one of his items is showing as free postage in the "see all items". When I clicked it it showed me the $15 postage that I mentioned earlier. I don't have a PO box.

 

I also just checked on my phone. Same scenario as the computer. Free postage in the see all items, charged postage in the listings. It's killing his feedback as that seems to feature heavily in the red dot department.

i think  you are 100% correct  now that makes sence

I get what you mean, I had not looked that far.

Same happening here and I don't have any PO box or anything.

 

I also looked at feedback. Most negs seemed to be for problems with the actual products but a few then threw in the bit about postage not free.

 

I think jensmanchester must be right when she says:

If this is so, is there another way the seller could list it so that the actual cost for every area will show? I like the concept that the real postage is showing without any work on my part as a potential buyer. I don't have to type in my postcode or go to any trouble.

That part works well.

What the seller needs (and what ebay needs to offer) is some system where a seller can auto set postage as 'varies' but have that surcharge app working.

Is there a way? (Sorry, as although I have sold on ebay, never had anything as good as that postal price to every area working for me so don't know the answer.)
