Well, have just listed my first two items and am praying that everything is straightforward (have read some of the annoying things that have happened to people here and was really having second thoughts!)
Anyway, just wondering if anyone had tips on where to buy reasonably priced jiffy bags and packing materials?
Any help appreciated :T

people will probably say ebay
they are on there and it would also get your feedback up. otherwise the supermarkets sell padded envelopes etc, also try the stationery shops on the highstreet. anyone in your family work anywhere they get lots of items in packing like bubblewrap and such - always a good freebie

depending on what your posting jiffys are good for smaller items but if your selling stuff that is boxed or can be boxed(you will be suprised what you can use from around your house)then use brown heavy duty wrapping paper(50m rollabout £4) to cover the boxes(you can wrap everything in it)

Hi
Cheap jiffy bags from the pound shop
Packaging materials i get from the local paper mill or tool trade centre.
Free bubble wrap can be obtained from asda.

By going to any Asda, Tesco, Etc, and helping yourself to all those lovely sheets of bubble wrap that are used to seperate layers of fruit and disguarded.The MSE Dictionary
