What is the best way to ship on Ebay?

What is the easiest way to ship items sold on eBay?

  • I'm looking for a little extra income so I'm thinking about selling used textbooks and some new, unworn designer clothes and bags I have, but I don't know what the best way to ship would be, especially books. Most books I get when ordered from ebay come in sealed plastic packages. How can I ship books that way and how much should I expect for it to cost?

  • Answer:

    Sell your textbooks on Amazon...its free to list on there and you just pay a small percentage of the selling cost to amazon. Amazon also gives you $3.99 to ship the item. Then you go to the post office and ship it media mail which will generally cost less than $3 to ship a book. If you need packaging, then try http:/www.uline.com They have the largest selection of boxes, bubble wrap, and every other type of packaging you could need. They ship super fast too.

Text books are somewhat heavy. You can expect to pay 10 to 15 dollars per book for shipping. For text books bubble wrap would be best. You can buy a lot of bubble wrap cheap on Ebay. Don't waste you're money on shipping products at the Post office or even Walmart. Buy everything you need on Ebay.

For textbooks, try USPS media mail. When it comes to shipping other items compare UPS to Fedex ground. Fedex is usually a little cheaper than UPS. US postal priority mail is also an option. If you ship clothes and bags like you mention, you can have the post office deliver boxes to you for free for priority mail shipping. Priority mail is pretty easy to use and relatively low cost. Don't forget to figure the shipping charges into your selling price on eBay.
