Selling things and packaging them?

Question

I have a backpack that I want to sell on ebay. I have some other things as well. I want to ship all of these items. Before I start listing them how do i ship them to the winner of the listing? Where is a good place to bring the blower to. DO they package them?

Answer 1

i used to work at fedex, this is good, you can sign up as a small business customer with them and get discounts on your shipping, and yes they do offer packaging at a minimal extra fee.

Answer 2

I have found a very simple and effective website that offers free tips to different legit ways to make money online. They always keep these programs updated so that there is never an "old" or "sour" program. For your purposes I would recommend the Ebay option that they have listed. They also offer a book to a marketing system that is unlike any I have seen. They teach you how to find the RIGHT products to promote (not the most popular), the way to track it's credibility, and then discusses ways to market the product using genuine marketing techniques. The website is called: Online Money University.

I hope this helps you out.

FedEx DHL etc make it easy, but can be expensive.  Its always cheaper to package things yourself, but they will help you do it there for the cost of the materials which cost more in their stores.  Your best bet is to get some boxes, envelopes on your own from someplace cheap, and the smallest box or envelope you can fit an item in will be the best.  Postage is calculated by sizes, weights, or a flat fee, depending on what it is.

You should really package them yourself.  Any Staples has a great shipping productions sections with bubble wrap, packing tape and boxes! DO NOT go to the UPS store they are allowed to charge 300% more than what it actually costs to pack and they also rip you off on the shipping. You can call UPS (or go to www.ups.com) to arrange a pick up at your home and its only a $3.00 charge. Again DO NOT go to the UPS store
