To certain sellers out there...do you realise that more people will bid on your auctions if your postage costs are reasonable??
I see so many auctions listed where I know that postage could be cheaper...I see items that could easily and safely fit into a cheaper pre paid satchel. To me in the long run you are just doing yourself out of making more money. What money you do gain by buyers paying more for the postage, Im sure would be far less then the amount you could make by more people bidding on your items.
I know for a fact that postage is one of the first things that determines if I will bid on something so Im sure it is the same with other buyers.
And then you get the seller who puts a really low starting bid but then a huge postage price..of course we all know the reasons for this.
I sell and buy on Ebay..When selling I always try and find the cheapest (taking into account the items safety) way to send the item to the buyer.
