How do I change my postage to ebay 'Postage Policy'?

stampsbuyer — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 16:30:55 GMT

I have always set each postage rate when I list something but this has been a problem recently as RM have changed their prices so often.

Howe do I change to the ebay 'Postage Policy' so that I can choose from a list of preset rates in a list?

TIA

You can create and manage policies from the business policies dashboard - opens in new window or tab in the Account section of My eBay.

If you've listed an item in the last 90 days, you'll see some ready-made policies based on your previous payment, postage, and returns preferences. You can also create your own policy templates by following these steps:

From the Create policy dropdown, select a policy type.
Give the policy a descriptive name and add a brief description.
Add your policy details and select Save.

I looked into this recently and came to the conclusion that it is far simpler and accurate doing it myself. Letting ebay suggest prices would be a disaster. The preset rates are ones YOU have used in the past, not much use for in the future.

Ebay were coming up with rates I have used in the past which were years out of date, and if they had got onto my listings I would have found that I was not even covering postage costs.
