Selling on Ebay from Spain
 
Although I have bought loads on ebay, I have never sold anything. How do you work out the postage to send an item from Spain to the UK where I anticipate selling the item?

You contact whoever you will be using to send the item(s) and ask how they do things, ie weight, size or both and work it out roughly that way and add a little ontop just incase you're a bit off!

You will probably make a small loss here and there while you get used to it, but that's all apart of the eBay 'experience' just bare in mind the daylight robbery fees ebay/paypal charge you for selling items!

Use the Correos website.

Well I went onto the Correos site and put in International Parcels and the cost as far as I can work out is 22.60 euros fixed price with an additional 2.60 euros per weight. Surely this cannot be right. All I want is to send small items, i.e. am looking to send a costume jewellery ring!!!! Help!

For small items you can get away with the "documents" rates...the max. dimensions etc are on the website.

I'm sending you a pm Chiclanagir about how I think Our business can help you.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put the details on here as we don't advertise.

No, nor are you supposed to send unsolicited advertising pm's :D

If you posted that you could help then she could ask you to send a pm with details ;)

Sorry Mitzyboy I wasn't sure about what I should do, but have noted your comments.

If Chiclanagir or anyone else from her area want to pm me I'll be more than happy to give them some information that might help.

Hope that's ok!!

Hi,

no the postage goes on weight, I send a lot of the pet paintings I do to the UK, normally costs me around 13€ (recorded delivery) not sure on the weight though, probably about 1kg, but just sent 2 together last week, the weight was (only know cause ive got the slip in front of me) 2.6kg, it had to go as a parcel, cost 30€ and took 7 days, that was recorded delivery,

normaly the others I send take 3 days
