Buyers and sellers will see the cost of postage through Royal Mail go up next month.
Ebay has issued a warning to customers over a big change to postage in DAYS - in a blow to Christmas shoppers. Buyers and sellers will see the cost of postage through Royal Mail go up next month.
Royal Mail has said it will be increasing its prices for individual customers and marketplace sellers from October 6. Royal Mail has announced that it’s updating its consumer postage prices, effective from 6 October 2025.
Royal Mail will be adjusting the inclusive compensation level for consumer Tracked services. As of October 6th 2025, the compensation amount will be reduced from £150 to £75.
eBay said: "In ecommerce, transparency is key, with a whopping 80% of consumers preferring at least four tracking updates throughout the delivery process. These updates give buyers confidence that their purchase is on its way, reducing anxiety and building trust.
