I think that people should add on something for postage...as if they were going to sell for money they definetely wouldn't have the double postage costs even if they would have to pay single...and then they would charge extra for postage one way.

SwapitShop isn't the only way for people to sell their stuff...and if they're going to get a better deal elsewhere then I think anybody would take that opportunity.

But there is postage costs for anything...even if you sent a tiny envelope 2nd class with nothing in it it would still cost postage. Therefore whatever you are selling there is postage to bear in mind and if it's not worth it for the amount of swapits you're getting because either you're not convering postage or you can get a better deal elsewhere then you may as well.

Because some people send in lots of swaps and so the postage costs add up because they have to put stamps on all the envelopes and then on the main one to SwapitShop as well.

I'm not necesarily saying it's something to whine about...but people should definetely work out postage and then add that onto what they want minimum to make their lowest cost and add it onto an ideal price if they want to set a buy it now.

Otherwise you could be selling something for 100 swapits, for example, that costs the equivalent of 270 swapits for the postage and that's not worth it... you may as well throw whatever it was away for that as you are paying to get rid of it.

because when you add all those pounds up and you're sending lots of swaps it totals up to a lot of money! and the very purpose i joined swapitshop was to save on money!

Aye, i normally sell like 6-7 games a week. Which is about £1.50 per game 1st class. 7 x £1.50 = Not cheap. Think aye?

with a rating of over 2k, and you say you pay like £1 per postage on an item it totals out that altogether the minimum amount of postage you've payed is £1000, for me.. that's something to whine about lol   you must be very rich if you don't think that's a lot of money to spend on postage!!
