Increased Royal Mail postage rates don't show on existing items for sale

[andrewb5562]

Took a small (under 100g) envelope to post office this morning, stamped up with 85 p of stamps (2nd class) - told rates had increased from today - now 87 pence

Had a look at a number of items on EBay for sale - all still show 85 pence - do you think they'll update these, or do we have to do them all manually

If seller quotes the price, it is up to seller to edit. Ebay would only get it wrong if they made changes.

It used to be POSTAGE AND PACKING so a 2p increase would  be covered, but if using Simple postage, packaging has to be covered in item price and ebay can increase the buyers fee by a few pence, but millions of pennies increase profits.

Looking at your listings, all avoid simple postage, just use bulk edit to increase to 87p.
