Do you generally charge(extra) for items you sold online and send it using Royal mail or other service?


I never did, as i get cardboard from shops/dad brings some from work, and i always have selotape laying around..

I was gonna buy some side skirts of a guy, untill he messed me round with prices and wanted 10 to get them packed... So decided to make this poll ....

loads of people do it. thats why it's called P+P (Postage and PACKAGING).

If I was spending money to do it then I would pass that on, but I wouldn't generally buy packing. I've always got bubble wrap and boxes from stuff I've bought so I just re-use that.

Would never put money on if it didn't cost me that. Paying a few extra pound then something turning up in a tatty old box is utterly frustrating.

Yeah, I charge it if I've paid it. If it's lying around or whatever, I'll just charge for postage.

If it cost me then I'd charge it. Made the mistake once, when selling some stuff for my parents, of not doing so and one of the items cost a fair bit to pack up.

If I have a choice I would never ever ever ever use Royal Mail. The sooner they go bankrupt the better.
