Postage and packaging is not free! Postage costs
have risen significantly in a very short time, particularly on slightly heavier
items like books or long items like tubes. They seem to be targeting on-line
sellers in fee increases. The cost of strong, rigid packaging has also risen and needs to be
stronger than before as the PO sorting office automatic sorting equipment seems to damage more
items. All our items are rare and our
customers would rather them arrive safely, than have free
postage. Since EBay rules won’t let us set the real postage and we can only use their fixed rates, some customer may pay
slightly more for very light items, but we lose money on heavier or larger
ones. Thanks for your understanding.
