Choose your postage options and costs

All sellers on eBay.co.uk are required to specify a domestic P&P cost for deliveries within the UK.

 One way to work out your P&P costs accurately is to use eBay's Postage Estimator.

Tip: Make sure you enter very accurate weight for the package you're sending and select the right parcel type (packet or letter). If you guess, you could end up under- or over-charging your buyer for postage.

 When working out postage, consider:

Note: There are limits to P&P charges in certain categories for deliveries within the UK. New listings for which P&P charges exceed these limits will be blocked.

When you fill out the Create your listing form, enter your postage options in the Give buyers P&P details section.

Select Flat: same cost to all buyers to enter your delivery service(s) and P&P costs for UK and international delivery. The cost you specify will be added to the sale price when the buyer pays for the item.

 You can also:

Note: You'll also be required to specify your item location and a dispatch time when you list your item. The dispatch time is how long it will take you to put the item in the mail once you receive payment. If you don't specify a dispatch time, we select a default dispatch time for you.

Below is a selection of postal services available to UK sellers with guidelines as to what you can expect to pay to send an item. Please note prices and service details quoted are subject to change and we suggest you contact the delivery company directly.
