so, if 20 people buy 20 items and you make no other sales that day/week, you operate at a loss?

(generally speaking, not meaning to be personal)

see, for me, that seems weird - you know, just in case that happened?

Reckon I'd approach that scenerio by listing with correct postage but emphasizing combined post discounts - encouraging multi purchases - even detailing "I can send up to 20 items for $8"

on one line I have a table in the listing outlining postage costs and details below the combine postage blurb - say it's a guideline to contact me for price etc or I would select the most suitable iykwim

ie

500g satchel - $xx

3kg satchel - $xx

Bx1 box $xx - up to 1kg

and so on

If I sold something uniform weight and size, might go as far as to say can fit up to 20 in this box/satchel - I see that last bit used by a lot of plant sellers - they say they can fit 8 or 40 or whatever into that postage price

Not sure - I guess i just like to play it safe and work on worst case scenarios within the system constraints. I don't wanna do all this for free or at a loss

I might have a few loss leaders or a few free post things to help out the DSRs a bit - but I personally couldn't operate like that 100% - I'd never sleep wondering if I was gonna go broke or not!
