Hi.
As most of us buy and sell odd bits when needed it may be worth noting the new postal charges.Sent a saddle out this morning. Cost me £2.20 on a ten pound saddle. After the 2nd of April that would be classed as a small package and charged at £5.20.Add pay pal and you have just over £4 left.Those selling low value bits priced including postage need to beware.They are using a letter box type guage system so if your package is below 450x350x80mm I am told the rates dont change much at all.Above that you are in for a nasty shock.It may be that in some cases it would only work if the postage was split between buyer and seller. having decided to do this they still have no flyers with the new charges on and they take effect in a weeks time. Suggest you take a look at any listings you may have that include postage before accepting a sale or pricing an item up
Regards
Peter
