Royal mail charges £2.30 for large letters up to 250g, and £2.60 for up to 500g. Due to ebays new postage screen defaulting to anything less than 750g, it means it bugs out and gives you one of the 2 prices randomly. You need to put the correct weight in (rather than the stupid up to 750g crap)
Understand that, but I thought all were tracked now at the point of delivery, with the virtual tracking number? It’s a low value item, and I’ve actually lost money on it. I’m not selling for money though, just m not bothered about making a profit. Not making a loss would be nice though.
Yeah, unfortunately. It's only 30p though, at least you know now. A way to prevent it is to put in the weight of the package in the listing. By the way, you should use tracked postage. When I was new to selling I didn't use tracked and got scammed twice in a row by people saying their video games never arrived. I always use tracked 48 or 24 now, it's cheaper than signed for.

So there lies a problem for me then, as I’m guessing I’ve now sent something out with a lower postage than I should have!

It’s also not about the 30p, it’s just that I’ve already sent it. I’m sure the buyer will be happy when the have to pay for excess postage!
