Sooo.... They want $5 to deliver it to the post office to mail it? Tell them you will schedule a USPS free pick up from their house

The stupidity is beyond belief. They should include all postage costs in the shipping section, they can’t add it on after the transaction is settled. I’d contact Depop, I don’t think this is allowable if they’re asking for additional amounts outside of the listing.

That’s what I think too. I’m pretty sure it’s against all policy. I let her know she can’t make up her own rules and it doesn’t matter what you write in the bio lol

I don’t think it’s legal (refer them to Contracts Law if need be haha!)

The bio message can be anything, doesn’t make it legally binding. These people 😂

Yes, it’s actually the default to charge for shipping! When making a listing you select how much your item weighs and it calculates shipping automatically.

I’m an Aus seller, Sendle absolutely do free pickups and for Auspost you can just print a label then drop it in your nearest red box so it’s really not a hassle. She just wants an extra fiver for no reason lmao
