    Where I can I buy the packaging bags from - other than ebay? Or is ebay the best? Its just my listings end tomorrow and I have kind of forgotten to get some. I do have 'old' jiffy bags - what do you reckon??


    These plastic packaging bags, am I right in thinking this is something to go inside the parcel? I always feel stupid using a carrier bag :(

    The plastic mailers are the outer bags, the sort of things you get clothes in if you buy from a catalogue or online store.

    Going back to your original question I would suggest you use up your 'old' jiffy bags first. I usually tape a printed address label over the front to make it look less scruffy. As long as you are not loading up your p & p much above the actual postage cost most people will be fine about this.

    At a stretch I have used good quality carrier bags turned inside out and cut to size, as packaging. I am talking about eg Lakeland kitchen shop bags, or bags for life, etc, the ones that are of the same quality as mailing bags.
