Shipping a large poster

[superflydnt]

I am in the middle of doing my listing and i am at the part where it is telling me what my parcel dimensions are, now my size is not listed but if i was to post via royal mail website it has a postal option up to 90cm length wise (mines is 80cm)

Any help on what option i should choose? It only has small parcel, medium parcel, large parcel and bulky parcel. What should i use for a tube?

Just accept whatever e-Bay recommends.  If it's bigger or heavier they'll still honour the price providing the item is within the carrier's overall limit, which yours is.

I would select the medium parcel option. 

Royal Mail's website have an option to select TUBE. This costs £4.95 which is the same price as a medium parcel, only difference are the dimensions allowed.

Hope this helps

Only problem is, as soon as you take it to the post office they reject it and you either cannot post it or you have to buy a new label there and then. Ebay wont cover that.

Tried medium parcel, even though it's the same price they rejected it and I had to buy another label from them and cancel the old one. Now this simple delivery does not allow any of that and the only option is £12.97 with DHL which is a rip off.

Has this been sorted?

I spoke a representative and they said the only option is DHL £12.97

They say we cannot cancel the label and chose outside of ebay.

But I see some posters listed with £2 to £6 postage...maybe they are all less than 61cm.

Most of my posters are rolled and exactly 61cm wide and as soon as you put it into a tube it's over 61cm.

Unless I start cutting them or folding/creasing them I cannot see any point in selling them on Ebay.

Their excuse is simple delivery is still new.

You need to put the tube diagonally inside a mailing bag. Then it's no longer a tube and they accept it. Placing it diagonally allows for it being slightly over 61 cm.
