If possible split into multiple less voluminous parcels as couriers will then be able to take probably

If within same city, $8.50 would pretty much cover a stamp album. Can only see the reason for asking extra shipping if you paid urban shipping but are a rural address "with his courier", then $6.50 is ok for the rural extra price

It seems you have already identified what "may" be the issue, ie thet they have more than one of that item to sell. If they only had one and they put it out for bidding, and it did not reach the $$s  they had hoped for, they may be tempted (against TM rules) to relist at a higher price and abandon your sale. If they are selling it at the same price as you bought for, there is no benifit in them relisting, if only one item.

Can understand what S says. While not involved in coordinates at all in past, there can be numerous delivery boxes at one gps coordinate, so could easily be the wrong box it was delivered to.  You are not able to get signatures for rural delivery however  so how can a seller ever produce evidence of correct delivery there? They cannot if TM only accept a signature. The other issue with signatures is couriers forge them, or some other person at the delivery site signs for it, either under their own name, or under the receivers name(and of course then that's a false signature and not valid pe...

Lorayne.  Yes, every bodies shipping costs have gone up, unfortunately like everything else we buy. In reality unless you increase shipping, you will be making less and less on each sale. Also at present the general sentiment from sellers is that sales are going down generally. Mortgage rates, fuel, food and infact most things have seen considerable rises so people have less disposable income now after paying for essentials.  When setting your shipping price, be aware shipping cost is not just the courier ticket price, it includes all the other costs involved in the shipping activity.

I have had  2 buyers just tonight send me wrong address. It is happening most days now wheras in the past it happened once every 3-6 months. Obviously something in the TM system has changed recently to either send incorrect addresses automatically or is not properly prompting buyers to  select the correct address. No idea if this is a TM issue, a buyer issue or both. But certainly if TM members all deleted old addresses from TM , it must go someway to helping this situation rectify itself

Exactly as Gary says

Also if it is going to a rural address , often when it says delivered, it means delivered into the rural contractors depot, not delivery to the rural address. Delivery at rural addresses does not get a delivery scan

Aramex and Courier post are max 1.5m I think. Freightways group couriers go to 1.8m I think

I hate with a vengance HVL fees, I never used to have them at all but since the last 1.5 to 2 years when sales have been terrible, I have to live with it and take the 10c hits.  For shannon, another way to avoid maybe to run multiple TM accounts on here so each has less listings so you dont hit the HVL. You need to get approval for this from TM, and the products in each store have to be different
