Removal of free Postage & Packaging polic
EMAIL JUST RECEIVED FROM EBAY:
In 2009 a mandatory free Postage & Packaging (P&P) policy
was introduced in categories where excessive postage
charges were a problem. Although buyers have responded
positively, some sellers indicated this is having a negative
impact on their listings and asked for alternative options
to prevent excessive postage. This is especially when listing in the auction style format with a low starting price. SELLER NEWS
Therefore, to help drive further sales, the existing free P&P policy will be removed and replaced with maximum limits to Postage & Packaging charges from 8 February 2010.
Buyers continue to respond positively to free Postage & Packaging. Sellers who offer it on their fixed price listings will continue to receive a boost in search results.

The eBay team
