I see we have received a new message from E bay today. It now seems that on some types of goods free returns will be offered for up to 30 days. I bet many of you out their will be very pleased to see this. So if you sell an item for lets say £22 and the delivery cost is 10% from E bay and the charge from the delivery company is say £6.50 + VAT , what does it do to the the margin when you try to resell the item and have to pay another £6.50+ VAT to send it to the next buyer. What do E bay recommend the mark up should be on low value goods Do they understand you must buy and pay for the item before selling it and by the time you pay someone to pack it and you will need to check it an maybe clean it for resale, you don,t have much left. I am glade we are not selling very much in these category.
