Ebay randomly changing my postage options
I sell hand knitted baby hats (amongst other things). I charge between £3.90 and £4.00 and offer free postage as they weigh 60gms and can go as a large letter costing £1.55. I have now seen that ebay have randomly changed my listings to simple delivery charging the buyer £2.94. No wonder I am not selling anything. No-one is going to pay that price. Has anyone else had this problem?

·10 months agoWhen you monetise your hobby, as you have done with your hand-knitted hats, you need to have a business account to sell those items.
As stated, business accounts set their own postage.
You can still have a private account for selling your pre-owned clothes etc.

Do I need a business account?
If you plan to sell casually, such as selling items you no longer want, a private account is the best option.
If you want to sell large quantities, if you have items that you've made or bought to resell or if you already have a business outside of eBay, you’ll need to register a business account.

Mentor10 months agoCertain items in certain categories still have custom postage as an option. However this has to be selected at the listing stage.
Making items to sell is a business activity, ebay requires people who do that to have a business account. Business accounts set their own postage.
