Ebay & Posting

Options
As its free posting this weekend and I'm in desperate need of money, I'm going to clear my room out and do some serious ebaying this weekend.

However, what is the cheapest and more effecient way to post things?

I'll be *hopefully* selling things along the lines of boots, shoes, various clothing.

Does anyone know of the best place to buy packaging for these types of items as I want to be prepared :)

Thanks

    You can buy plastic posting bags quite cheaply on ebay. Worth a look, you can get all different sizes.

    it might be easier to get your entertainment items and sell them in bulk to some of the people out there -

    cds and dvds to musicmapie
    and games to tradeyourgames.co.uk

    It takes a long time trying to sell games on ebay..

    Ebay have set a £4 postage limit for clothin. Be really careful and weigh stuff, add a bit more for packaging. Hadn't ebayed for years and put a few things on last week, lost money re. postage! Sigh! Good luck

    It's not free posting, It's free listing this weekend. Clothes can be difficult now they've put a limit on. I re-use envelopes and boxes I receive, otr if it's too big, Black sacks.
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T
