UK Postage goes up
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

Re: UK Postage goes up
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

Re: UK Postage goes up
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.
