eBay has made changes to how we define excessive postage and handling.
The changes outline what we believe to be reasonable charges, which a seller may pass on to a buyer for postage and handling.
We have made these changes based on Community feedback and our own research which confirms that excessive postage and handling prices drive buyers away, which ultimately impacts sellers.
Over the coming months, eBay we will be taking increased steps to monitor listings that are in violation of our policy. These efforts will also include following up on member reports of excessive postage and handling. Sellers who violate the policy will be educated in the first instance and repeat offenders may face suspension.
We believe that an increased emphasis on enforcing this policy will benefit the vast majority of honest sellers.
If you would like more information about the policy, please visit the Excessive Postage Charges Policy page.

The eBay Team
