I thought I'd worked the postage out to 2 quid but then realised it wasn't so I changed it on whatever I could to $3.50, which is about 1.80, which is my usual rate for 1st class recorded. The reason I 'went international' as you put it, was to get maximum exposure and not have to list in the shitty UK ebay soul section!
January 28, 201015 yr Author not knockin it Pete, was just posting on here coz i've not seen it done before. (hence the 'fair play' & ). i spose you're right about the shitty UK soul section.... mind you, there are some goodies crop up occasionally IAN
January 28, 201015 yr Also, I do print this at the bottom (of the $4.50 ones): Seller's payment instructions Actual postage rates in UK Pounds - UK 1ST CLASS RECORD £2.00, UK SPECIAL DELIVERY £5.00, EUROPE £2.30, ELSEWHERE £2.50 (APPROX) OVERSEAS REGISTERED POST £6.00 trust me, I never set out to rip anyone off over postage

Quite a few other sellers are using this method and rightly so. For dealers relying on the income from sales as a part or full contribution to their 'wages' then free P&P is a significant hit - as if ebay don't squeeze enough as it is! As regards mayfairmenthol, I'm not sure how international Wolverhampton has become ;-) but fully support Pete's approach! ------------------------------------------ Regards, Greg.
January 29, 201015 yr yes ive started listing stuff on usa ebay as well and i havent got the hang of the postage thing either. i do deduct a bit tho if someone in uk wins the item . the free postage thing has made me do this and the better exposure for better quality stuff aswell but i still list bits and bobs and uk releases on uk ebay dave Edited January 29, 201015 yr by dave pinch

fair play, but the postage is rather high if it is the case
