Ebay saddle question

[RLF]

Does anybody know how much I should charge to post a saddle on ebay, I am just listing it and haven't a clue how much it costs (roughly) to post.

thank you

About £15 for standard parcels, about £25 if it's going recorded delivery (which I would recommend)

When i have sold saddles on Ebay i usually put £22 for p+p.

thank you both

do you mean p+p?...take it to the post office and ahve it weighed (or weigh it yourself) and get the different prices off the cashier

I have put £20 when i sold mine, seemed a fairly average figure from others i looked at and covered my costs with decent packaging and I didn't make a silly profit on it either!

How funny as I have just sold my Albion saddle on Ebay to someone in Finland. Bet its the same person.!! Anyway it was no bother at all. I used DHL, they came an collected it form my house so I didn't even have to take it anywhere. It cost £46.55 5 day delivery door to door including tracking and insurance. The person payed by paypal before I sent it.

Don't know whether I am allowed to post this, but why not use parcel2go? Just type it into Google. You can send the saddle via DHL on that website, and limit the costs...

Sending out a rug via that website (to the UK) cost me just a bit more than £7.00 using DHL, so it's good value for money as the box was huge. I don't think it made a difference how much the parcel weighed either.

How much does the saddle weigh? According to their website, you can send a parcel up to 25kg for £24.99 + vat anywhere in Europe...
