Wild Edibles User ID: 79156981 United States 04/06/2021 07:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Knowing how much to charge for shipping is the hard part for me. Is there an easy way to do shipping? Flat rate Priority shipping boxes from usps. First class is too slow anyway. Back when we sold on eBay I got the free flat rate priority mail boxes. It cost around $5.00 to ship anything that would fit in that box. Now it cost $19.00 to ship it !!!! I’m not using flat rate now Learn something new each day,,,, And love your country!!! FJB |

Is there an easy way to do shipping? Anything over 1lb HAS to ship Priority Mail. Also, make sure you weigh your item with packaging prior to listing so you know what to charge. Get a free pirateship.com account and it will save you tons on shipping. You just have to print your labels from there. Last Edited by MarkInMichigan on 04/06/2021 08:03 AM |

EBay stopped using PayPal. Kinda sucks because eBay sends funds directly to your bank account now and it can take several days before they release the funds, then several days for the funds to show up. Sometimes the customer will have our product in hand before we even get paid |

The small flat rate boxes don't fit much, but if you have small items, it is a great way to ship. Also, the flat rate envelopes are larger, and can be folded into a shape of a "box", and is economical too. Just be super careful about shipping fragile items in the flat rate envelope. |

Sometimes the customer will have our product in hand before we even get paid Thank you for your info. I have not sold anything in a while. I see they changed their sales terms. Making things more complicated. Shipping is indeed costly, even local, much more so if international. I am only dealing collectibles/memorabilia. Facebook comes up with really good trade/sale groups sort of like "meet your own kind of people" groups. Items we have can make other people happy. I came. I saw. I Concorde.

Is there an easy way to do shipping? Yep box it as you go. I keep all the old amazon boxes my wife gets and reuse them. No need to inside out them or anything either. get a good scale, and an account with ups. they even give accounts to low volume folks. saves a lot. buy the bubble roll from wally world. saves a lot.

Also, go on nextdoor and ask if anyone is giving away bubble wrap or other packaging materials. Same on FB groups or FB Marketplace. We got our scale with the separate display unit for $26 at Sams Club about 3 months ago. |

Be prepared for a 1099 now even if lower volume and price accordingly. Last Edited by Hadriana on 04/06/2021 08:52 AM |

Praetor of Olea User ID: 80001690 United States 04/06/2021 08:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I buy and sell things based on if I need to use them. I don't just have piles of shit lying around because I'm not a hoarder. I'm glad you were able to make some cash but this doesn't apply to most people. Sure I do have a lot of 'stuff' but it all either has a purpose or it gets tossed in the trash. (I've had a lot of success selling old hobby stuff before so this is a good method, I just don't like your premise :D) Last Edited by Praetor of Olea on 04/06/2021 08:57 AM Dave Talbott Wal Thornhill Comparative mythology is the key to understanding all of history. |

Man Bear Pig User ID: 78494304 United States 04/06/2021 09:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was told on FB Market, they send you money and you put your item on your porch... and they come pick it up I sure as heck dont want ppl on my porch. I think people have always done that, sell something on Craigslist or what ever.. and they come to your house and pick it up. I am not worried about someone coming to my house. I have security systems, camera's, I am a huge dude and I have 2 huge house dogs.. that goes nuts when people walk down my street. |
