At Small Business 2.0 this morning Richard Kanareck, Communications Director from eBay has just talked about what’s happening on eBay in the near future and it’s free postage.

Richard said that buyers love free postage, but it’s a pain point for many sellers as it squeezes their margins. He hinted that although currently free postage is mandatory in many categories that this is about to be reviewed.

So the end of compulsory free post is probably just a couple of weeks away. In all likelihood eBay will want to continue to keep postage prices down and so will still give a boost in search for products with free post. It’s also likely that postage caps will be expanded in categories which currently are free post.

Is removing compulsory free post good for your business? Will you continue to offer free post? Will you add postage back to listings that you were forced to offer with free postage?
