packaging bags?

i usually package ebay stuff to send to seller in brown postage wrap and parcel tape. however, i'm selling off baby clothes at the mo and wrapping is taking ages.
what sort of wrapping do you use? i'm thinking of getting some posting bags so i can just fill, rip off seal and stick down.
where do you get yours from?

    I would be carefull using some of the Packing Bags with Clothes. Some of the bags can have a strange smell which, in turn, can make the clothes smell.

    Oh, just thought, you may have meant big Envelopes.

    Don't get the grey ones and you'll be fine. It's certainly less expensive than buying packaging, and you can get good deals on eBay itself.

    My grey ones are okay. And they are cheaper. For clothes, also buy some plastic see through bags from ebay, they cost buttons, as an inner wrapping. Looks a lot more professional
  • I only use grey now, but they are not cheapies. They do not smell and the labels do not pull off. I do buy in the 10k, so it is a huge box weighing enough to use a forklift thing to take them off the lorry!

    look on e-bay.

    We bought 100 clothes bags for very little money which is far cheaper than a small pack from Wilkinsons. They don't tear and you just stick a label on and go.
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!
  • i have bought clothes box in grey too. cheap but useful on e-bay. good luck and regards!

    I have just bought 50 grey bags from ebay.
    They do smell though so I am also using clear sealable bags also bought on ebay, they do look good as someone else mentioned and hopefully keep the smell away!
