Don't give up on selling your collection of magazines individually.

Thanks for the encouragement and tips .. but I know when I am beat .. have done a test over the last two months with only 20% sellthrough anyway and with the upcoming cost increases am loosing the stomach for it all .. if I had to pay to list here would drop the place like a hot potatoe ..

Most of my items are letters, too, but I'm hoping that the price rise will encourage people to place larger orders. Buyers can get 1kg worth of items for $7.15 (most of my items will fit into a Bx1 box) which will be much better value than a 250g - 500g $5 letter.

 

I hate it when people buy one $3 or $4 item anyway. If only eBay stores functioned like other online stores and had an option to set an order minimum.

How do you get the boxes for free? I have to pay for mine, and the $7.15 only covers the postage.

Haha, I don't get them for free (I wish). The "handling" fee is in the item cost (I add an amount to each item to cover packing materials/10% fee on postage). I find that this works better than adding it to the postage cost, because the buyer is able to match the postage label on their shipment to what they paid.

What is a Priority Stamp??? And how does it work

A buyer asked me about this recently I looked at the Aust Post website and it said it had been discontinued as of May 2015

I bet the priority ones do not arrive any faster than normal postage just like there so called express delivery which on many occasions were no faster than the red satchels..................

Express delivery is dependent on both parties being in the Express Post zones.

There is no guarantee of next day or even faster delivery if one party is outside the zone.

Correct, but priority is just that -  prioritised. All mail will still be delivered as quickly as possible. If they can process 1000 letters in a day (obviously many more than that, but just an example) - if only 500 of those are priority, then it's possible for 500 non-priority mail to arrive within the same timeframe as priority mail.

I read this in Australia Post's documentation, although I can't find the link at the moment.

please verify how to get 1kg post for $7.15.....???
