<p>[QUOTE="vision, post: 1497938, member: 2775"]Via USPS. I was thinking of sending off the heavier items with the "flat rate" mailing option, and the rest with regular boxes... but if I do that, the boxes (should I have to purchase them) will add to my shipping expense, so I'm thinking I should maybe just use the flat rate option for most/all the packages? I have a $3.99 fee listed for shipping my packages, but I'm pretty sure that will pay for less than half of the total shipping fees (with boxes + packaging material) for the vast majority of my auctions. It seems most people are discouraged from even considering bidding due to the shipping fees alone, so I tried to keep it low.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can obviously tell, I am not well experienced in shipping things off for eBay. Shipping personal items to family/friends is not the same because I could care less what the fees will be, but this is for-profit shipping, so I have to learn all the options available.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the info and help guys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
