UK Postage goes up

[billsstamps]

UK postage prices going up again.
It could be that tipping point when the cost of posting things becomes too much, and sales drop off.
That happened when I first starting selling books on Ebid 15 years ago, and gradually increasing postage rates made selling books impossible.
Now £2.50 minimum to send anything overseas is prohibitive

Here is a run down of all of the domestic changes, looks like they are trying to discourage high compensation next day and they are helping sellers a little with the lower heavier large letter prices

Thanks Bill for the over the counter prices, I'd forgotten about the increase
Another 20 / 40p on the small / medium parcels

BTW the glitch that sends my ebid emails to Spam seems to be back again. I sold 4 items to a repeat buyer yesterday and I only found out because they paid for 1 item, probably forgot to wait for a combined invoice, only because I saw the paypal notification of the payment received.
