I'm a cheapskate and hate paying for packing materials (also means I only have to charge the buyer the actual £3.30 posting fee) so this is what I do:

1) Save any and all cardboard boxes (like, sturdy boxes not cereal boxes)
2) Cut out 2x 12" cardboard squares to go either side of the record (or 7"/10" if that's the size you're mailing)
3) Wrap the package in 3 bin-liners. 2 of them I cut along the bottom seam to open out and put either end then wrap like a present, and put the third one along the middle. Tape to oblivion (you should find that the 2 opened-out liners will cover the whole package. I just put a third one over the middle for a bit of extra lining)

Record mailers are just cardboard sleeves, so sticking it between 2 bits of cardboard does the same job. And mailer bags are just plastic like bin liners so y'know. I've never had any complaints.

If it's particularly valuable or you're extra worried, you can wrap some bubble wrap around it if you have some lying about.

This is my first record sale but that is exactly how I was planning on packaging it x

Made £2.15 on Prolific today but the one didn't give me a completion code so I'm not sure if it will go through, takes me up to £394.42 if anything goes wrong I'll deduct it off next months total x

it will probably arrive Monday, but you could use it towards December's target and smash that before you start :rotfl:

well done on tax refund. I like those kinds of letters.

Thanks - I could also smash January's target and I'll see you all in February :rotfl:

I always worry when I see the brown Inland Revenue envelopes but this was a nice surprise!

Talking to someone about selling £17.50 (and potentially more) worth of stuff so fingers crossed that works out.
