simple postage is leading to parcels being refused by the couriers or extra charges and fines.
That really shouldn't be the case due to the way eBay's contracts with the carriers are structured. Business contracts are based on averages so the actual weight/size of each item doesn't need to be exact. There was an issue in the early stages with Post Offices not accepting some parcels but that has now largely been resolved. Whilst eBay do say that sellers may be charged extra/fined if they select a size, other than that recommended by eBay, and the parcel ends up exceeding the dimensions of the size selected I am yet to see any actual examples of that happening.
