Unwanted

So now we have to endure a tax of 76% on items we list, and maybe sell, for £1. How can this be justified? How will we ever sell items at £1 each whilst this inequitable tax is levied?

If the Post Office is your be-all-and-end-all for selling on Ebay

I fall into the category of Private Ebay sellers who only posts items I have sold to buyers through means of the Post Office. In other words, I parcel up the item, and drive in my car to the Post Office, and then get served at the Post Office counter...
