Soolin has trouble flattening items enough to fit through magical plastic holes, which seem to live by different rules, depending where she goes.
I have had the pleasure of avoiding these holes by making my items into rotund, bulky packets. So I have found my postage prices have fallen, yey. I am however having huge problems with the 1000g to 1001g step in first class. So I keep finding myself spending 2.70 instead of 4.74 after charging buyer £5-6... Packaging items before listing would solve this problem, if I was organised. I have enough problems wrapping stuff on time after it sells.
Any views/solutions/experiences?

Agutka I have no solutions
I hate packaging before I list as I always end up getting questions I need to unpack the things for. All I can think of is trying to shave a few ounces of the packing, I've even cut unwanted flaps off envelopes below now to try and get within a rate limit.
