Posting Loads & loads & loads & loads & even More loads of Items

On a good day I can have as many as 25 -30 parcels. I mainly use plastic mailing sacks in various sizes and just print off my addresses and stick them on the bags.

I write out a COP before I go to the post office and just weigh each one, pass it through the hatch and do that over and over.

With SmartStamp you get one with each label you do so that saves some time as well. If you need to claim then you send the print out of the transaction with the claim form. Again, saves loads of time in the post office and as ours only has one counter. We used to use stamps and just a few heavy or International parcels would clog up the counter for 15-20 minutes. This is why Smartstamp is better for us - you can even add 5p onto your postage costs if need be as you are charging P&P and the monthy Smartstamp fee is part of your postage costs.

:beer: Have a bitter ......... because you sound it! :mad:

Instead of hoping Ebay gets shut down because YOU no longer like it how about you keep away from Ebay? No one forces you to use it or look at it ............. do they?

That way everyone can be happy.

when i used to sell records on ebay i always ended on sunday with the dear stuff ending last and as they were ending i would be relisting for the next week and as some buyers would use paypal right away i would do as much a i could that night sometimes up to 50-60 packets also i had a po box for £1 a week which was a god send as no payment or stock came to my house so no leaving on the step in rain or sun or being stolen and as buyer used to send cash,monery orders etc i used to go to the sorting office which was very quick post and pick up at the same time and they used to stick the stamps on for me after i had gone

I actually buy mine on ebay, they were slightly cheaper than any other online store I could find. However, watch the various sellers as some are much cheaper than others.

I got my large size ones down to about 8 1/2p per bag and the small ones to about 10p per bag (the small ones are dearer for some reason). They also have the advantage that for some of my 'lines' they are light enough to save me a whole postage band, which means I can save 22p per parcel on the postage.

When I was doing ebay to pay off my debt I was taking amybe 15 or 20 parcels per day to the post office. Now it's only about 2 per week. I've seen people with black bin bags full of parcels waiting in the queue though.

I'm a black sack gal sometimes, especially after a good Sunday finish. One of the other regular ebayers at my post office uses a workmans trolley as he has so much stuff he can't physically carry it. He parks his manual pick up trolley outside and brings in the parcels a few at a time. He's had upwards of 100 before now. If I see him with that many I usually give him a wave and go home and wait an hour or so before going back.
