A question about : How do I set up Argos freepost on eBay

Hello and can anyone help me please with the following;

I saw that it was possible to list my eBay items with FREE POST using click and collect at Argos.

I can also see and read the help page on eBay but they do not tell me very clearly how to make listings compatible with this service. Does anyone know how to do this or what search words or phrases to use in Google or YouTube!

I completely stuck and just cannot work it out title=Mad

Also my attempt to get help on a Forum so here's hoping it's in the right place!

Best answers:

  • Think you may have been a bit confused somewhere down the line. A buyer can select "click and collect" where you post their item to their local Argos store and they can collect it. You can charge postage on top of the purchase price or offer it to them from "free", but you still have to pay the postage to the Argos store obviously.
  • As above, the buyer collects from Argos. The seller has to send it to Argos sorting centre to be distributed to the shop of the buyer's choice.
    The seller will still pay postage.
    If you were just confused with the terminology and wanted to offer click and collect as an option it will be one of your postage options, if you can offer it. When last I heard it hadn't rolled out to every seller, whether it now has or not I don't know.
  • As RFW says I don't think irt was rolled out to everybody.
    However, if you have a qualifying listing, ie 1 day dispatch and free postage then if you are eligible the option appears as a tick box under your normal postage options.

  • Thank you for all the replies.... but Yeap I am still confused...!
    Surely it is NOT freepost if you have to pay to post the item to Argos?
    I understood that I could take my items to my local Argos (in Plymouth in this instance) for 'free' internal distribution through the Argos store network anywhere in the country, hence FREEPOST, clearly not?
    How about that though as an idea?
    There is absolutely no info about this anywhere, I even called the Argos eBay helpline and they could not help me either!
    So in short, it's not free at all, just a way of getting eBay customers into Argos?
