Funny how that can sometimes be such a relief!
What I'm looking for is so specific that I slightly panic bid when I saw it haha

I wouldn't use the Post Office I'd choose EBay's Shutl service & specify insured & signed for. You get these options when you select "Print postage label"Got an old driver I'm after selling because I don't get on with the stiff shaft.
If I put it on eBay and post using the labels you get from them and print out, would the post office give some sort of proof it had been sent? And would it have to be signed for by the person receiving it?
Asking because I've heard some stories about people saying they haven't received items when they have to try and scam you out of it

The problem is the length of the parcel with a driver. It has to go by Parcelforce which costs a fortune but will be tracked and traced.
Personally I use Myhermes but it has a maximum parcel length of 1200mm so drivers need a bit of ingenuity (ie packing on the diagonal) to get within this. The cost is way way cheaper than and it includes track and trace.
Buyer pays postage don't they so not massively bothered about price. I just don't want them to be able to lie and say they've not received it and try and claim the money back and keep the driver[/Q
I do not know about others but when I see high postage costs I am simply put off bidding. Lower your postage cost and you will probably get more bidders.
parcel force £12.12
Myhermes about £4
If you have never done it before note ebay and paypal charge commission on postage charges so remember to factor that in on your start price.
Yeah will do. Can eBay just pay straight to a bank account? Or do you have to use PayPal?
They would but at extra cost. I take mine to a local parcel shop. There are lots of them, you should have one near you.Thanks 👠so would eBay collect the item then?
Not worthy of a new thread but here is an odd one. I have been following a putter on Ebay, starting price £40. No bids up to yesterday, it finishes around 6pm this evening. I check it out this morning and it states £40, 12 bids . How does that work? 12 bids yet the price doesn't change.
Wow, so the one and only bidder has been on 12 times to increase their top bid?I think it's whoever made the starting bid going back on and increasing their maximum bid
I use Myhermes for all my eBay stuff as well, the local garage that is 200 yards from my door is a collection point. Usually only costs £4 odds with signature since if it's just a single club it's under the 1KG.The problem is the length of the parcel with a driver.

For drivers, I just use the wrench tool to take the head off, stick the screw back into the hole then bubble wrap it. Then I bubble wrap the shaft and cut down the cardboard box to be under 120CM (if required). Works a charm, sold 3 drivers like that.
Can only be the first bidder placing increasing bids x12. The price will stay at £40 until someone else bids. The implication is that the first bidder's maximum bid is a good bit more than £40.Not worthy of a new thread but here is an odd one. I have been following a putter on Ebay, starting price £40.

Very odd to add 12 times. They must really have wanted it but couldn't make up their mind as to what their top bid must be. I left it alone, as you say their max bid must be quite high.Can only be the first bidder placing increasing bids x12. The price will stay at £40 until someone else bids.
