Selling on E Bay

How do you work out the postage rate when selling things on ebay, is there a set weight and price for parcels. I thought I would have a clear out of some ornaments that I don't want anymore

you chose the postage price yourself DD, you can estimate or put a price that you know will cover the cost of packing and the actual postage. There are no set rates for it on ebay

If your in any doubt, go to the PO with your items and have them weighed prior to working out the postage that way its as fair as possible. You want to charge a fair price because if you make too much of a mark-up on the postage, buyers will accuse you of dodging your fees

Thanks guys, I always check the postage rate and sometimes think it is a bit excessive.

I'm going to have a great time clearing out all my things, some are still in their packaging from when I moved 8 years ago.
