Help with Ebay / Paypal shipping!?

Question

Hi. This is my first time mailing something for someone after I sold something on ebay. It is a poster and I am trying to post it via a tube. I purchased those shipping tubes at Office Max and the size I had to get cost me 4.99 +tax. I just got home and I see that on the USPS website, it says that the Priority mail tubes are 'No charge'...does this mean that I don't have to pay for the actual tubes and just the shipment? If so, I would be saving SOOOO much money. This is the link to the USPS website: http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10152&storeId=10001&categoryId=13354&productId=26002&langId=-1

Answer 1

Yes, you would save alot!  I have sold on Ebay also and use USPS supplies as well as shipped thru FedEx and used their supplies.  Most sellers if they have to buy special supplies pass that on to their buyer.  I try do to anything possible to keep that cost down so use the free supplies when ever possible.
