    Re: I really tried to buy from here :(

    I agree, I do not understand why there should be inflated P&P. It is immediately obvious and gives the impression the seller is profit-taking, or else grossly inefficient. You don't need to recoup...

    Re: General advice for a returning seller

    I haven't used Ebay for years, don't need to pay their prices as it would make my items cost too much.

    Re: General advice for a returning seller

    I would say that you could put lightweight items on international sales, if you can use an "airmail" envelope, otherwise the postage is too much.

    Post Office becoming irrelevant?

    I went into my local sub-postoffice this morning to buy some 20p stamps.

    I post stamp sales abroad and buyers like the bonus of some commemorative stamps on their envelope. So, 1st class...

  6. Re: To all those that say nothing sells here

    That is my experience. 4145 sales in 2023, but that was 10% of what I had listed.

    Re: "How I succeeded on Ebid"

    Yes postage rates are a killer, so selling items that are low in weight helps. Paypal allowed me some time ago to use micro-payment rates which are low at first and then rise steeply. I don't know...

    Re: IOSS number

    I think that IOSS is about being able to declare VAT on goods going to the EU.
    If you are not liable for VAT then you do not need IOSS

    BACS is an EFL, just like Paypal is an EFL

    Re: "How I succeeded on Ebid"

    Ebid want me to print and post on Ebid - give them some revenue, but the more I think about it, the less I like the idea of printing and the price of postage.

    Re: "How I succeeded on Ebid"

    Postage costs are key. You stand a chance with anything lightweight.
    Once you are sending a parcel people are sensitive about cost

    "How I succeeded on Ebid"

    Re: New Royal Mail charges from Oct 2023
