If i sell something, say a textbook, on ebay via USPS?

Question

do i just bring the textbook up there with the shipping details and they package it, or do i have to package the book and then birng it up there

Answer 1

USPS sells packaging materials, but they won't pack it for you. The UPS store will, as will many other pack-and-ship operations.

Answer 2

If you are sending by Express Mail or Priority Mail, USPS will provide a box for you to use. You will still have to package it up for mailing.

Pack and Ship stores do charge for doing the packaging for you. Be sure to ask for the cost up front to avoid an unpleasant surprise.
