Just started my ebay shop & low cost packing

Hi all, I've just started selling on ebay and I hope it will become the online shop I've always dreamed of! I sell vintage computer parts, sim cards, computer games - all small things.
I charge as little as I can for postage because the items all fit in a small jiffy bag and I know from experience as a buyer that I won't pay £5 postage on a small item.
I've found that the shop Poundland sells 10 x branded jiffy bags for £1! This is saving me a fortune - since I can send most parcels out with 2 x 1st class stamps on to cover postage.
Since 1 jiffy bag from the post office can be 75p, I just thought I'd let you know because it really has saved me loads :beer:

Thank you KittyKate and good luck with your store. You might also want to check out 99p stores if you have any of them locally as they do 12 slightly larger brown jiffy bags at (wait for it...) 99p.
