Tips for successful postage

These postage tips are designed to help you post like a pro.

Offer free or discounted postage.
Listings with free or multiple-item discounts encourage buyers to purchase additional items from you. Tick the Free P&P box when you list your item for sale. When buyers search for items, they can sort results by price plus P&P. Items with free P&P or low postage costs will rank higher.

Make sure your postage rates are reasonable.
If you’re not sure, check our selling practices policy. You can check the actual cost of posting your item directly from the Post Office.

Save time and hassle.
Save time with free package pickup services from Parcelforce . There’s no need to leave your home or office. If you sell valuable items, consider purchasing insurance. Check with your carrier for insurance options.

Stock up on supplies.
Always have postage supplies on hand. You can find postage supplies from the Post Office or sellers on eBay.

Print postage labels from home.
You can print postage labels right from your home printer. Look for the Print Postage Label link on the item page, or find out how to print postage labels.

Generate repeat business.
Include a business card or note with your eBay user ID to thank your buyer for their business.
