Excessive postage amount

[gorras-62]

Bought a camera, charged £25 for standard UK to UK postage, other sellers of same item are charging less than £10, is the seller making a profit on postage, thanks

Not enough information to give a definitive answer.

Postage cost would depend on the value, size, and weight of the item.

The seller must also ensure they have enough insurance cover if the item is lost or damaged in the post.

For me, the important figure is the total cost of supplying and delivering the item safely to you in a timely manner.

Do you think that it represents good value?

There is no dispute for postage on ebay

When you buy you are agreeing to the terms and postage on the listing

If there are others with cheaper postage then you search before buying

You take into account all the charges of item and postage and if that is a good price then you buy

If not then you find one cheaper

It up to you

It is up to you to have some idea of postage costs. By buying you saw the postage cost quoted and agreed to it.

You should have compared prices before buying.  It is not just postage, buying a Camera at £20 with £20 postage is exactly the same as buying a Camera at £30 with £10 postage. It is what you receive for the total cost that matters.
