For UK sellers, if you have any auctions running, remember to take into consideration the new Royal Mail postage costs.

As of Monday 7 April 2008, new prices for Royal Mail products and services will come into effect. Price increase will affect domestic UK mail rate as well as Airmails rate

For more details of these new prices you can download the PDF format price guide at the Royal Mail site.

A glimpse of the new rates for the majority of domestic UK mail:

First Class Large Letter
0 – 100g = 52p
101 – 250g = 78p
251 – 500g = 108p
501 – 750g = 157p

First Class Packet
0 – 100g = 114p
101 – 250g = 145p
251 – 500g = 194p
501 – 750g = 251p
751 – 1000g = 308p
1001 – 1250g = 430p

Smack! I hope this will not affect our own local postage rates though.
