    I've 100% positive eBay feedback, always used an post, had to make a few claims for missing items but I found the service good and all customers were impressed with speedy deliveries to the uk & Europe

    A courier to the uk will set you back about 20 euro, an post would be as good as any if the postage price is under that, i used registered post the whole time as there high value goods which have a tendency to go missing, insurance was essential for me! If i was you I'd register everything. Just make sure the price your charging is correct for postage.

    If you've already put postage cost in the auction, then you ate tied to that. If it turns out to be more expensive, then you can't go asking the buyers to cough up. They agreed to what you asked, and if you got it wrong then you either pay it yourself or risk negative feedback from irate buyers.

    You can also check www.anpost.ie for postal rates.

    yes i understand i would pay the costs myself if it was over the cost but as im only getting use to it i will make a few mistakes

    but i think i have myself covered :)
