The Royal Mail really don't want us to send anything do they?
I'm not bothering to change my postage since It's basically dead here right now
I've had a number of sales over the last week, so it's not that dead.
And your listings would be easier to browse if you opened the stores you are entitled to, as a platinum member.Quote:

I use the bulk edit to change UK, and then International, Postage so it appears on the Ebid sales page. Works fine.
I also have postage for bulk quantities in the description of each item, and I use the change description from old postage to new postage which does work so long as the old postage description is exact.
This time I found not everything changed and tracked that down to:
- pound is not the same as £
- £ is not the same as £
- 2022 prices were still is some listings and did not change - fortunately few buyers actually read the description
I started on mine yesterday, one page done, only five more to go ! So not too many, but I remembered how tedious it was last time and that it contributed to my deciding to under-charge on postage, rounding it down to the nearest £1/ 50p. So I haven't had to do it since Small Parcels went over £3 and Medium Parcels over £5. I'll be changing them to £3.50 and £5.50 and (fingers crossed) I won't need to do it again until they hit £4 and £6.
I only loose a few pence on each sale but I think buyers like round numbers when paying for the total and making a small saving on the P&P ?
It's certainly not dead here for me ATM, I've had the best start to any year I've been selling here. 22 sales so far, total for all of last year 24 but every year since Covid has seen increases so going in the right direction :)
In the USA, we have another rate increase.
More manually changes for me on my items.
