Selling crafts on eBay is simple, but there a lot of crafters out there doing it. So you need to set yourself apart from the crowd in any way you can. Offering great postage discounts is one way of doing that.

With so many crafters selling crafts on eBay it is often the little things that make the difference between which sellers a buyer will use. Discounted Postage Some sellers use low listing prices and high postage fees, eBay is trying to put a stop to this so I wouldn't recommend that system.

A much better way is to provide a simple postage system that also gives great discounts when buyers purchase multiple items from you. This is very often what buyers are looking for when differentiating between sellers items. Here are some great tips to utilise your postage system to increase your craft sales:

1. List a low postage price

I suggest setting your postage price based upon a cheap delivery tariff. This then allows you post a good value postage price in your auction. If buyers want a faster and more expensive postage you can offer this as an option after they buy.

2. Provide a postage discount on multiple purchases.

If a customer buys three items, set the second and third postage prices at a big discount. For example if the first item ships for $1.00 set any further items at just $0.25. This will easy cover the increase cost for you but will give the best deal for your customer.

3. Advertise your postage.

Make sure your fantastic postage discount is advertised loud and clear in your auctions. You want your customer to know that you are working to save them money and you are offering great postage deals.

These simple tips will provide small but significant changes to your auctions that many eBay craft sellers don't offer. It is these little extras that make all the difference when it comes to selling crafts on Ebay.
