EBay: - Posting breakables & easily crushed items

Options
Hello,

Does anyone have any advice for posting large amounts of breakable objects, e.g. a set of teacups & saucers, jars or vases?

Also, for a long time I've thought about the advice on the main site about boosting income by selling things like toilet rolls. What are good ways of packing them so that they don't end up being flattened during postage?

    Having sent breakables sold opn ebay before i use an overly large strong cardboard box that is much bigger than needed; wrap every item in plenty of bubble wrap, a card reinforcing board at top and bottom of the box and as much paper packing as it will take to stop anything from moving around in the box, along with lots of "Fragile" branded tape so the P.O. know its fragile.
