Please help me, I am selling a large item and the postage options are confusing
Summary: warrickh is seeking advice on how to set up postage for selling large speakers on eBay. The issue stems from eBay's postage system not accommodating the dimensions and weight of the speakers, which exceed 20kg and are larger than the system's maximum allowed size. warrickh is considering organizing their own postage but is unsure how to proceed with the eBay listing and label printing. They find eBay's postage options confusing and are asking for guidance.
I am trying to sell two large speakers, 65cm x 45cm x 35cm. I originally listed the item as Collection only but no-one is interested so I want to offer the item with postage. The problem is that I cannot actually enter the item details into eBay's postage dialog boxes. The largest item it will allow me to enter is 45cm and up to 20Kg but the speakers weigh over 20KG. I also need the item to be picked up by the courier from my house I am not able to carry the items even from my car to a post office, they are heavy.
Maybe eBay is simply incapable of handling these large items BUT I can see that there are plenty of other items for sale on eBay larger and heavier than my item, so surely that cannot be the case. However 'Simple Delivery' for this item is definitely not 'Simple'!
So the question is how do I set up the postage for this item? Right now I have the item listed with a charge (to me as the seller) which I know is less than what it will costs because I have checked with Parcelforce online. However when it sells how do I get eBay to print the right label for this item or can I circumvent the eBay system and just organise my own postage and pay for it myself?.
Any help or advice will be much appreciated. I find postage a real pain on eBay I am afraid, it is far from 'simple'.
