Shipping HELP!
 

Hey what's going on guys, I sell items on Ebay that only weigh less than an ounce.. The least I can send the product out for is $2.04 at 1-3 ounces. I've been using regular envelopes and purchasing $0.71 stamps to ship these products out but they end up getting lost in mail or returned sometimes due to the item being identified as a package although it meets the requirements to be sent as a letter mail. Is there a cheaper alternative to send out my products or am I stuck with the $2.04 price tag :/?

At $2.04, are you losing a lot of your profit? The risk with $0.71 cent stamps is that you don't get tracking which is a big deal to Ebay and customers.

No more $2.04 mail. Cheapest is $2.60

Welcome to the forums OP - all the best as you read through posts and learn about stealth.

USPS increased their prices some weeks ago now.

Yeah, it wasn't working on one account cause the mail keeps getting lost and delayed which led the account to be below standard ;/(other factors too). So i just made a new account and started selling again yesterday. Yeah -_- I thought it was just because I was a new member so I didnt receive a discount but it really was $2.60 fk. I make close to $5 on every product but sell more than 50 pieces a day so the close to $2 increase is making me lose out on more than $100 :/.
