I am trying to get my head around today's latest announcement of changes and need some help in understanding how this will affect me as a private seller.
I am currently in the process of selling off a large portion of my postcard collection. Many items I list B.I.N. at £2.99, postage free (or "seller pays" as it says when you list). Buyers pay £3.83 including BPF.
As a post card is under 100g and listed at under £10.00, currently SD does not apply and it costs me £0.87 to post.
Am I correct in understanding that as from 6th August there will be absolutely no exceptions to SD and therefore all my listings that state free postage (or seller pays) will now be subject to Simple Delivery at a charge of £2.70?
I cannot see a buyer paying this, nor will I as I will be making a loss on each item!
Am I really reading this wrong or is it the final end for me buying and selling mostly low value post cards on ebay?
