Items less than £5 are costing me £2.95 to post - is there cheaper option on Ebay?
 

I'm selling some items which cost less than £5 but are costing me £2.95 to post as small parcels through Ebay when you go print postage labels through the royal mail option, is there a cheaper way to post small parcels through ebay print postage labels options?

If you sell a lot of items, postage prices rising, and if the petrol price keeps falling. It might be more economicaly viable to deliver them yourself. in very busy periods, I used to deliver my parcels in a 50 mile radius of my home and save some money.

You can save 23p per small parcel if you use a franking machine via royal mail, you have to spend £200 or rent one, so again you need to sell a lot of items to make it viable

PPI or franking will both save money. I would go with PPI personally

I've not heard of PPI method of postage?

Consider packing as large letter or letter

Significantly reduced price in comparison to parcel for Royal Mail

Were you deprived of oxygen at birth?

Why would they be asking about postage if they weren't posting anything...?

Does this mean my recently purchased microwave oven will not deliver through the mail slot affixed to my front door?

Sad!
