A potential customer who wishes to purchase a sandblasting gun with 1kg of grit asked me if he could add extra bags og the grit. No problem, I thought. This was until I came to simple delivery, I cannot adjust the postage to account for the extra weight. Previously it was a 2kg package, but when I add another kilo it pushes it up the ebay simple delivery postage up (from 2kg to 10kg, nothing inbetween) by about £3, but I the Yodel postage rate is a lot less even for 10kg. So if ebay is collecting the postal fees and then also getting a discount on the actual postage cost, where is the difference going. There is no actual free postage, it's always actually rolled up into the price of the goods involved, which raises the price of items, which in turn drives customers elsewhere. Still got to fill the shareholders pockets.
