I'm a first time seller, and I'd like make S&H cheap and easy.

What kind of envelopes should I use?

Would this be okay? Priority + flat rate?

Oh and Flat Rate or Priority Mail? Which is better for the customer and cheaper for me?

And whats the difference between flat rate and priority mail?

Answer 1

Flat rate is everything you can fit in that envelope, regardless of weight its all the same price. However, that's not worth it for something light like a T-shirt. It costs about the same as priority, though.

I think it'd be a lot cheaper for you to use First Class because priority always costs a minimum of over $4, no matter how light it is. First Class would just take an extra day or 2 at almost half the cost.

I just entered it from California to New York so you can assume the cost would be that much anywhere else.

A padded envelope is great for a T-Shirt. Boxes are much heavier and more expensive.

I just buy padded envelopes at any drug store. They even have sales sometimes where they're 50% off and I just stock up. It's so much cheaper than buying it from the post office.
