i agree, it's funny that when i lost my legit selling acct i was gutted obviously (er, hence being a member here on stealth lol) but since i'm up and selling again its like i've remembered all the bad things that i totally forgot about when suspended, the top of the list being packaging up the blooming items.... from stock place, to in front of me to describe, to back to stock place, to waiting for payment, then dragging out all the packaging from the stock place, putting the unused back, oh my goodness.... yep, it's certainly the packaging up then lugging to post items that does it for me too- i totally agree with you theyscrewed_metoo!
Everyone does or did packaging and posting. I have 4 days that I ship all my items on.
Quick questions though. Do you buy your boxes or get them for free.
Particular size's I buy but the rest I try to get them free from people that have moved recently or
small shops that get wholesale deliveries and don't need the boxes anymore.
I try to box up everything as soon as it arrives, and then just slap a shipping label on it so when I sell it I just drop it off where appropriate on my out.
The Following User Says Thank You to First Edition For This Useful Post:
Because of my location I try to sell only small things. I have one size envelope that i use for nearly everything. Grab the item, stuff it in the envelope.
Then the fun starts.
For every single item i sell I must produce 3 customs docs and a declaration sticker. According to international potal regs I do not have to do it for low value items - but try telling that to the people in the post office
Still - as Ebayorbust said Cha-ching!
