Selling vinyls on ebay - postage

cdeane

Hello

I have a few vinyls I picked up for pennys in charity shops near where I live. I was looking to sell them on ebay.

Could anyone tell me roughly the postage cost within the uk are? and also how you package them for postage?

Thanks

It all depends on the size and weight, but they would probably go as a second class small parcel for £2.60

I have sold vinyl on eBay in the past and would say that vinyl buyers are very particular about the condition of both the record and the cover, so take care to describe carefully and wrap really well to post

You can buy record shippers but I always add extra cardboard

Is 8 cms going to give enough depth for real protection though?

OP, the Royal Mail wesbite will show the data you need for postage, never ever guess it- weigh and measure item when packed and quote accurately.

Also check out completed listings on ebay for an idea if any of it has a value or not.

I pack with really rigid card and it would be well within the 8 cm. I use the card that is used for making picture mounts.

Yeah i've checked. The ones that I will be putting up are selling at a decent price; considering what I payed for them.
