It depends where i am buying from, but either flat fee (if it is reasonable, i wont shop if a flat fee is £5 or over unless they are using a courier) or actual (plus a little for packaging) which is harder to quote, but definitely better in respect to feeling ripped off.

I wouldnt buy a single item if there was a £3 flat fee, i would either go without, check ebay or find somewhere else - but in the same respect i have paid £5-£8 knowing that they have probably paid a lot less for a courier (account holders get GREAT deals for sending out a lot of items) but i dont mind because, well its a courier, and usually quicker than RM!!

I prefer a flat rate of postage, especially on ebay. Doesn't matter what the postge is because I will then buy accordingly,
