Shipping tips to save money on ebay sales Choose wisely!

Check out my ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Vickis-Little-Jean-Shoppe
There is a HUGE difference in price by the type of shipping that you use! I picked up these yugioh cards at a garage sale for only $8.00. Please check with your kids before you sell them so you can find the good ones and tell the buyers about what you have, I was lost haha

    @RubberWilbur ,

    @RubberWilbur ,
    You do realize that is 9% on the sale and another 9% on shipping!
    You don’t net a profit on shipping,and sure ebay saids offer free shipping!
    I went down to my post and asked them for free shipping they told me *^%$#@$%^*
    There is no free shipping! someone has to pay!

    @MRWAYLAND Yea but …
    @MRWAYLAND Yea but it’s worth 9% because you have access to the whole country at one time. The power of diversified population statistics is very powerful. There is no other forum like Ebay that you can get to that many people with your item.

    You could try media mail. It might qualify and you’d save a lot.

    Priority Mail is usually cheaper for items under 4 pounds, especially when you consider the box is free. Gotta love those free Priority boxes! 🙂

    I don’t know if this helps, but if I am not mistaken a company known as Eldon Industries made a brand of slot cars known as “Selectronic” in the 50s, 60s or 70s I want to say. Maybe the mystery toy is a toy manufactured by Eldon for slot cars.

    Careful with those rubber bands, they can be damaging and effect the values.

    shrks1fan is …
    shrks1fan is correct….You can save up to an additional 50% over and above what you recommend by using the Regional Rate Priority Box A, if the buyer is within a couple of zones of you – For Buyers further away evaluate using Regional Priority Box B…..You need to CONSIDER the Regional Priority Boxes A & B when evaluating your shipping costs….The only problem with the Regional Priority Boxes is the limited sizes that are available.

    Keep an eye on the regional rate priority mail choices too. If something is small but heavy that is often the better choice. Oh and you can also go online and order a supply of the boxes, they will ship them to you free.

    Nice tip. Even …
    Nice tip. Even without the flat rate box, priority mail is often less expensive than parcel. Typically 1-2 pound items its less and 3lbs or larger parcel is the way to go. If its going across county, the flat rate boxes are awesome.
