EDIT, bollocks my quote thingy's gone AWOL. Anyway Jon (bassassin)........
Two reasons that postage quotes have gone up massively on FEEBay.
1. Attempt to get collection only and minimize/negate fees.
2. Since September, FEEBay charge you 10% of the postage, then PAINPal have their 3.4% of the postage if you choose that method of payment. Hence, the more astute sellers have increased their postage costs to cover the new charges they incur.
SO, FEEBay gets even more expensive!! Then daft buggers do a FEEBay search, see how much a similar bass to theirs is and put it out at that price. I could go on for ever................
