Postage & handling – as a seller it’s often difficult to estimate the correct charge and as a buyer, it can be frustrating when listings don’t display postage cost or you feel it’s over inflated.
That’s all about to change.
We're introducing a new simple to use postage calculator that will automatically calculate Australia Post domestic and international postage costs. This cost will be displayed within the item listing and eBay search results. And the best part, as long as you're signed in, the postage costs displayed will be based on your registered postal address.
Calculated postage will help you:
- Increase sales - listings that include calculated postage costs are more likely to end in a sale.
- Improve efficiency - no need to manually research and calculate postage costs.
- Save time - emails from buyers about postage costs will be reduced.
- Speed up checkout - pre-filled postage details make it easy and quick for buyers to checkout.
- Build customer loyalty - up-front, accurate postage costs enhance the buyer’s experience, building trust and the chance of repeat purchases.
As you know, we’ve placed a huge emphasis on making your eBay experience easier and we’re confident you’ll find the new postage calculator does exactly that.
Happy shopping
