[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 984462, member: 4791"]Didnt read all the post here but here is where I am at with what the OP has asked. I have been active on ebay since 1997. Coins ship in a padded envelope. WHY? because they get there in one piece.. Cost Walmart .44 cents each. Delivery confirmation is a MUST with the new rules on ebay. ship without it and your asking for problems. I USE the shipping feature with Paypal because its actually cheaper than the PO.. a 2 ounce bubble wrap with DC generally runs $1.58 add the cost of the envelope and your there. I print the labels on my laser printer on plain paper and use the wide tape to secure the pkgs. Takes about 18" of tape off the roll so they last a LONG time. My total costs to ship 1 coin is right at $2.02. Now if you get extra coins or the weight goes up slightly just at 20 cents a coin and your golden. Insurance is another cost that you may get.. Generally I self insure (GAMBLE) that the product doesnt get lost if its under $100.00. Goes over and I do insure them. ALWAYS use delivery confirmation when selling on ebay.. Don't and all the person has to do is say I didn't get it.. and you lose! Been down most of the roads with ebay, like I said, I have been on there for a while. Free shipping does get more attention on sales! but be prepared to eat that cost. Most people who purchase coins on ebay take into consideration the cost involved with shipping, however there are a few that dont pay attention! Always bid with the shipping in mind![/QUOTE]
