If you sell on eBay

[mrsg123]

Do you list things you won't make much money on? Do you relist things? How long do you wait before just donating the stuff? I have done pretty well selling things but it's a pita to go to the post office with my two young daughters all the time.

I figure out the size and weight of the items and print the labels from ebay. I usually sell stuff that I will make money on and then just drop them at the UPS store.

Do you print your labels at home? That makes drop off at the post office super easy.

No, I have not found ebay's weight estimates to be super accurate

You can change the weight. I made the mistake of trusting theirs once and that didn't go well but now I just enter the correct weight.

Do you have a scale?

I try to ship in the flat rate boxes. You can have the flat rate boxes sent to your house for free, print the shipping label with postage at home & just drop them at the post office. Much easier!

Do you find the flat rate boxes to be kind if pricy to buyers? Seems like there is never a perfect size!

No one has ever complained about the shipping. I try to squeeze stuff in the smallest box/envelope available lol
Usually I can fit a shirt into the envelops which is about $5-6 bucks. I fit a jean skirt in the envelope. It can be bulging & the PO doesn't say anything.

That is good to know!! I usually grab the boxes from my local PO. I'll have to look for the envelope next time.
