eBay has just about killed off selling cheap low value postcards with their Buyer Protection Fee, but now to make things more even difficult when i try and list a military postcard in militaria they're only giving the Simple Delivery as an option, with no custom postage option to purchase Royal Mail 87p 2nd Class, unless I use a more generic category like photographs - although I'm sure they'll stop this soon as well.
So It now costs a buyer £4.47 to buy my 99p postcard, they get charged 76p Buyer Protection Fee (it's insured by the postal system anyway so why do they have to pay this) and then £2.72 for simple Delivery, which gives a total of £4.47. All for me to make 99p and this is before I deduct the price of the envelope, protective sleeve and eBays PayPal fees of 33p
This is an unsustainable model.
