    Just a little note to re-users.

    I do appreciate that re-used bubble bags are good enviromentally, but, they look very un-professional when they land on your customers door-mat.

    Also, your customer pays a postage and packing charge - if you're going to re-use packing materials, please make sure your p&p reflects that, ie make it cheap.

    I know that will make me unpopular, but 30+ % of my feedback comments on good packaging.

    Always re-use mine, never had any problems doing so, best way to save money and been enviromentally friendly at the same time ^_^.

    True. I've seen people get neg. feedback before because buyers have felt ripped off that they've paid packing and got a recycled envelope.

    If you're going to do it, make P&P cheap enough that people haven't got grounds for complaint.

    I always try to make my P&P charges as cheap as possible anyway. I sometimes use recycled jiffy bags. I used to sell loads on ebay, so when I stopped I had loads left over! I saved these (about a year or so), and used them in my recent ebay sell!

    I used to get them from cheap shops, like Wilkinsons, Home Bargains, pound shops.etc
