Ebayers...anyone buy a postal scale for shipping costs on Ebay?

does anyone have a seller they can recommend?

I'm tired of losing money on "estimating" shipping costs

Re: Ebayers...anyone buy a postal scale for shipping costs on Ebay?

I TOTALLY feel your pain! it took me a WHILE to get the hang of what to ship via what method.

ie: I spent $1.50 on a pouch to mail a men’s shirt that I sold. when I brought it in to ship first class it came out to $4... which was 5 cents less than it would have cost to send it priority! so I could have saved the $1.50 for the bag and just shipped it priority (free boxes) Chat Icon I made that mistake quite a few times! Chat Icon it definitely is a learning process. I ship almost everything (especially clothes) priority mail. at least the boxes are free.

depends on what you're selling, but I usually use USPS Priority Mail Shipping - the flat rate boxes/envelopes go from $5-$8.

I've gotten burnt so many times on shipping also. I really try to stick to the flat rate Priority packaging.

I agree the flat rate is the way to go...I order the boxes online, they deliver them and the labels right to my door...free
