One of the best things you can do for yourself and your customers is find the cheapest way to ship your items. If you are shipping heavy items a flat rate box will be your best option. If you are shipping media you can use media mail which has a reduced rate.
I usually ship clothing items. I like to ship these items in white poly mailing bags. The bags are thin and hardly weigh anything at all. They are waterproof and puncture proof (for the most part). I also wrap my items with tissue paper or bubble wrap. You also want to include an invoice or something to remind the buyer of who you are. I like to order business cards. It has my eBay store name and my name. The best thing about it is that it weighs virtually nothing.
Why is it important to provide cheaper shipping?
- Customers will give you better feedback.
- Customers will remember and come back.
- Customers are more likley to buy your item.
- It allows you to make a little money for handling costs without the buyer feeling overcharged.
