Ebay Shipping Advice

Options
Hello,

Ive just made a tidy £109 selling some old clothes and am going to send them off tomorrow. I will be packing them is evening after work and was just wondering what you lovelies think the best think to pack them would be?! Its mostly tshirts and jeans, so I was thinking wrap and tape up some heavy duty bin backs and tape the address on?! :A

    if you don't have the plastic mailers, then that sounds fine. A word of caution, don't use too much tape, if you do then the only way to get into it is by cutting, not very good with clothing.
    There's a whole ebay thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=40
    You'll generally get a pretty fast response over there.

    I use plastic mailers for my items. To begin with you could go to pound land and see what stationary they have. Depends on whether you sold bundles of single items etc. keep proof of posting. zoe

    Id say pack them in a mailer bag and 100% send via recorded and signed post or a cheap courier (collect+) well worth a look.

    Make sure you send it so you get a signature or paypal will favour buyer in a dispute.

    Proof of posting isn't enough...and paypal will not accept it.
