So you have gone through a few closets, cleaned out the attic or garage and have a pile of items to list on ebay. The next step is to be sure you have boxes or other packaging supplies to get them ready for shipping. Unless you already operate a brick and mortar store and already provide mail order services, chances are you will need to find some empty boxes, packaging tape, address labels and other materials. These can be expensive, but what if you can have items like these delivered to your door at no cost to you?
The US Post Office makes this easy, if you plan to ship your items via USPS Priority Mail or Express mail, almost everything you need is available from them for FREE. Boxes, packaging tape, address labels, envelopes of all sizes, all delivered to you within a few days.
Visit shop.usps.com and click the Priority Mail image. You will need to register (this is also free), browse the online store and order the items you are looking for. Enter your address and they should arrive within a few days at no cost to you.
Other ideas for package protection are white tissue paper from your local card shop or the dollar store. Use this white oversized tissue paper to wrap items or fill empty space in the box to further protect items during shipping.
You can also save the Styrofoam packaging peanut material from items you buy through the mail, store them in a garbage bag until you need them to pack items you have sold.
