Thanks for the great tip. I’m trying to severely limit my use of plastics. This should really help.

Another great video. We, my husband, sister and I, are starting ebay (used to have a store 4 years ago) and previously we would get those nice flat cardboard from costco that is placed between layers of various products. Some were lighter and I would make inner boxes and the sturdier ones I would make shipping boxes. We are not about $peed but just getting it mailed to $ave money (we’re all advancing seniors).

Bubble can get expensive when you ship a lot!! Great money saving tip!

Great idea! Thanks.

Love it

cool - you may want to call it "slitting" instead of scoring, as scoring is actually the technical term for the indentions or creases that are used for assisting in folding the flaps and panel folding areas, that are not actually cut through some of the layers.

I appreciate these shipping tips! I'm a new ebay seller and not experienced at shipping. Do you have any videos of how you ship boxes/packages cheaper than flat rate boxes?

USPS padded envelopes will hold a lot (like 24 pounds of hammer heads) for a relatively reasonable price. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/1p8nzJzSbFE/w-d-xo.html. My previous video about making lightweight pseudo-boxes for shipping First Class: th-cam.com/video/yf6uI6c4qBQ/w-d-xo.html Are you using the USPS regional rate boxes? You can save with those sometimes. I rarely list with "free shipping." I put in weight and size and let Ebay figure the cost for the customer. They usually figure high so I end up making a little on postage. For example, Ebay calculated postage for the headphones I sold in this video at $24.35. Actual cost of postage was $14.50. Here's wishing you the best with your Ebay selling.
