Postage fees

[gee270]

Hi, I’m trying to get my head round postage as a seller. I’ve newly starting sellling my old clothes. So example. If sell a ln item for £10 plus postage say £3.15. The buyer pays this. I do my seller thing and buy postage via eBay in my ready funds and get a QR code and send via paper office. Seller receives item and I await payment via email. Do I get just the £10 or do I get the £10 plus £3.15. In my pending account I see only the £10 awaiting released. Could someone clarify this please. Thank you in advance.

The buyer pays the postage and you spend it on postage so you just receive the item price.

Hi, thanks for the update I wasn’t sure if I paid first and got the postage back later with my money. Thanks again.

You do not have to select buyer buys postage. You can still have buyer pay postage to you and you then buy.

In my opinion it is best for you to buy the postage as when things go wrong as they frequently do if postage is refunded it would go to buyer.

The situation where this happens is when the postage label is not correct and is rejected at post office. Seller then  has to buy postage at post office. When the original ebay label is cancelled, the buyer gets the refund, leaving seller out of pocket.
