Cheap packaging for online selling

Hi everyone,

I've recently started selling in Etsy and also occasionally use eBay to get rid of old stuff. I get through a fair few jiffy envelopes of various sizes, so wondered if anyone had tips on where to bulk buy them for cheapness?

Thanks!

    I buy mine from eBay in boxes of 100. My latest ones , DVD size cost me £9.05 delivered for 100, but always check prices as sellers vary them sometimes.

    I bought some smaller ones from Amazon last month for £6 a bock of 100.

    ebay are the best!

    Jiffy bags are great, although Mail Lite seem to be around 10% cheaper but I don't like them!

    Could try asking on your local freecycle for packaging - if you're happy to reuse old packaging, that is. The people on there would be happy to see it reused rather than binned.
