No Provision to List Courier AND Economy
There is no option that in listing 'own postage costs', to add a Courier rate, as well as a standard Economy rate.. IE on an XS NZpost bag, that is a $2-00 difference currently $9-10 Courier or $7-10 Economy, plus bag costs to be added when listing.
This may be the deciding factor for a purchaser, especially where the price of the item is maybe less than the same price as postage anyway, and then again adding rural charges, the cost of post can well exceed the purchase price.
Yes there is a box to tick for signed or not,.. but there needs another to distinguish between courier and economy.
Also it is a right pain in the proverbial, to not be able to relist groups of items without having to go and make unecessary updates to individual postage listings... which can require hours of time to relist items individually.. sellers either wont have the time, and wont relist items, and basically be turned off all together.

flossy63 Community SuperuserWhy don't you use Trade Me Book a courier?, or are you rural, cannot get them picked up?
As their courier rates are better than NZ Post Economy, and if booking NZ Post and print your own labels, you can drop them at post shop to get scanned in, Just use their address as pick up address,if you cannot do it from your address as Rural etc. just book them for a day later than when you drop them off, and as soon as they pick up parcels, they will get taken, even if a day before booked pick up date, if post Shop does not scan them straight away, which will cancel out the courier pick up and show collected from sender,

Callum Community SuperuserAnother option is ishipping, It has Trade Me integration. If you are paying walk in store NZPost prices, you are being silly :P
These are next day target courier prices, including GST, and a pick-up from your home or business.
DLE/XS $4.35 Aramex, $5.09 NZPost
A5/ Small $4.57 Aramex, $5.49 NZPost
etc.....

AJ Community SuperuserIts important to note the Post Shop prices include $1.50 for their bags. If you pack yourself, the XS (very small) price is $5.60 and Small is $6.90. Trademe book a courier is only slightly cheaper
Ive also looked into ishipping as they are quite a bit cheaper, but unfortunately they dont work for me.
