·10 months agoYou could list as 'free postage/seller pays'.
Ebay will charge you for the cost of Simple Delivery.
Then, where required, you can buy Special Delivery from the Post Office and claim the cost of the Simple Delivery label back from Ebay.
You would need to include a postage cost in the cost of the item unless you are prepared to lose £5 or so on each sale.

·10 months agoIf you selected ‘Seller pays’ and offered free postage on your listing, you'll need to fill out the Request a refund for Simple Delivery form for the label that wasn’t used. Make sure to send your request within 14 days of your item selling.
You need to complete this (fairly detailed) form every time you use your own postage.
You have to use free postage/seller pays and a tracked delivery service.

Mentor10 months agoUnless your item is over £750 you don't need to (and can't anyway, these days). That is how much Simple Delivery covers sellers for loss or damage in transit. If a buyer opens a claim ebay will issue the refund themselves and the seller keeps the payment.

Mentor10 months agoBuyers will usually see an express postage option which they can choose when they pay. Other than that there's nothing you can offer.
