...This time on Gumtree because the set weighs nearly 800g and eBay won't let me charge anything like the correct amount for postage. It's the complete Thunderbirds in a Dutch boxed set.

I'm asking £12.50; this does not include postage, which would be very expensive.

Ebay have gone mad with regards postage, particularly now they take a 10% cut of the P&P charge in fees. I think they're trying to force everybody to do away with P&P charges and sell everything with free postage. Or at least roll the postage charge into the asking price.

To be honest the way things are going I suspect Royal Mail price increases and Ebay hostility towards small sellers to pretty much kill the platform over the next few years.

They really don't seem to be in touch with what vendors want at all.

They've geared it towards big name retailers like Argos and Tesco, and the rip-off Chinese mass market merchants. And everybody else can go hang.
