How do you weigh the big things you sell on ebay? For instance I am going to sell a Britax Eclipse Si carseat and I will get it delivered by one of the services such as parcels2go or someone but I have no idea how much it weighs? Hope its not too stupid

    If you are strong enough to lift it how about standing on the scales you use to weigh yourself with the item and then subtract your weight. That way you'll be left with the weight of the item.

    Most of these couriers charge for up to 31kg so you will be well within your limits with the car seat .
