For UK buyers, my postage charge is based on £2.85, the actual cost at the Post Office, 45p for the new good quality padded envelope, but then a 35p charge for ebay. However, I can offer a substantial postal discount on multiple purchases. As long as you wait for me to send the invoice before paying, then for uk buyers I only need to charge you p&p for the first magazine, any extra purchases will be sent at no additional cost - you only pay for the first magazine. For overseas buyers, ebay will still take 10% of your higher p&p too. I promise though that I will try to charge just the postage cost, the envelope cost and ebay's surcharge, nothing more.
