eBay helps save Royal Mail
The London Sunday Telegraph reports that eBay traffic in the past two years has led to a two-thirds increase in business at many post offices across the country.
Post Office managers say the money spent by eBay users, who send up to £4 billion worth of goods through the post each year, has played a vital part in turning around a loss of £1.5 million a day into an annual profit of £537 million.
Almost 70 per cent of the post offices surveyed said that they earned between £1,000 and £3,000 a week extra from eBay sellers.
As a result, the 6,000 post offices across England and Wales that were facing closure may now have been offered a life-line.
