With sites such as Ebay and Facebook, it has now become even easier to sell products online. You do not have to have your own website as you are able to list items on third party sites to sell.

This can also be a great way for members of the public to earn a little extra money out of their unwanted items.

When you list an item on Ebay for example, you will be asked to select a postage cost. It may give you a guideline of how much you are likely to be charged for an item weighing up to a certain amount and certain dimensions.

It is very important o make sure that you post out these items on time and using the method you stated on the advert. If for instance you offered first class delivery, then you need to adhere to that. If you find that you have charged the buyer too much for postage, then you could contact them and offer to refund it. If you don’t and it is quite a bit cheaper than quoted, you may find that you are left bad reviews.
