Hey Guys

A friend of mine has an item listed that she listed postage as $6.20 click & send prepaid 500g satchel with tracking. She brought it around here to weigh as she does not have scales. She was positive it was under 500g she asked me to guess & I guessed 480-530g as I thought it may be just over or just under. To our suprise it weighed 620g bubled wrapped. My scales are spot on with local PO's.

She will be left carrying the can for additional postage & packaging cost (told her she should have checked weight before listing). As she now has bidders on item & auction still has 80 days to go so plenty of time for her to order the 3kg click & send bags. But she will be out of pocket around $6 on postage when you factor in a 5 pack of 3kg satchels as she does not carry then as she has only ever sold items under 500g until now. It is know major drama but when there is not alot of margin on the item given what the generally sell for at auction & then ebay/payapl fees it all adds up.

Do Aus Post gave you any grace on weight (in her case its like 100g)? She normally posts in red box. Unlike my self who normally posts over the counter as I like to get item scanned in plus they weigh it there & then.
