As a buyer, we want to buy things for the cheapest price whilst not doing away with quality. Thats just human nature in some of us.

But as a seller, when we crunch the numbers, we realise that 'free postage' will either shoot our prices up as the post cost is included or will send us broke a lot quicker than we knew possible.

Big online stores or shop fronts often strike a deal with Aust Post that would never be available to us smaller folk.

eBay do what they must in order to survive and grow in the changing world and l guess its up to each of us to view our selling model towards adapting (or going under).

I haven't gone the free post road yet and can't work out a way to do so with still coming out ahead.
