Ebay made postage free on certain items, DVDs/CDs and certain books all had there postage costs capped to a fixed rate or to be free. Similar to what Amazon does with there postage where they state that a CD cost ��x to send. Most people now add the cost of postage to the item price, instead of starting at 99p you start at ��2.50, 99p for the item ��1.50 for postage etc. They did it to stop people selling at really low prices but overcharging on postage. You see 1p listings but postage is ��14.99 for a book that would only cost ��2.00 to post, ebay lost money this way. They didn t include postage costs in the final valuation fees, so people selling at 1p weren t paying anything for there listings. We all know ebay hate losing money.
I don;t know where you are from but they have capped the postage limit on items because of excessive charges. People were charging $20 USD for shipping a CD etc.... it was getting out of hand. E-mail the customer service and see what they say, maybe you will have to list the price to include the postage or put the postage in a handling fee.
Don t understand the question, of course you can charge for postage!They do however discourage people pricing an item low but quoting high postage costs!
