If you are planning on selling something and wish to get the most money out of your sale, then read below!
If you are offering free shipping, here is the info you are looking for.
Please use the shoe box sized flat rate box for a camera! Flat boxes without using padding inside may cost you to lose the camera...........yes, the seller not the buyer!
I send this guide to many of the sellers I buy from and they often ignore it and pay way too much for shipping, they also use boxes too big and pay extra for that.
Print your own labels using paypals shipping service, then use a clear plastic sticker bag from USPS that you got for free online, its the customsenvelope holder 2976E. Hand the box to your postal carrier so you do not have to drive and wait in line at the post office.
Flat rate priority mail is one of the best things to take advantage of, its a flat rate to anywhere in the USA Take a look at the USPS website, and get their rates, it will save both sellers and buyers money.
You can open an account with to USPS, order shipping boxes and materials for FREE, yes FREE!If shipping by USPS flat rate, you can use wadded and balled up newspaper without worrying about the weight, wadded and balled up newspaper makes for excellent padding and packing, use lots!
One of the best deals is the 11 1/2x 8 1/2x 5 1/2 size box, the limit is that you can fill it up to 70 lbs. The 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 x 5 box is perfect for shipping many things, and costs around $10.50
Tracking is required by paypal if you get into a dispute with someone.
If you do not have a confirmation or tracking number, you lose the dispute.Sellers that state continental US only, and 48 states should consider that adding that to their auction only limits profits and is a bad practice.If you sell something to someone, its out of your hands when you hand it over to the postal carrier or shipping gepany...........its out of you hands! There is no difference where it goes to in the USA??? Once you ship and its gone, and its a done deal. I have shipped to Puerto Rico, Guam, APO
