General EBAY process for sellers

[Ischgl99]

Anyone who traveled by air (and read the airline magazines) in the 80’s & 90’s would know about the Karrass negotiating seminars. When I worked for Hershey they were large enough to have an inhouse seminar that I attended: the biggest takeaway was that you don’t get anything you don’t ask for.

Exactly, business is all about negotiation.

First I pack an item to survive the trip. This is the step most sellers don't take. Flat rate boxes are not always large enough for that. Not everything can ship in a padded envelope. Then I measure and weigh and let ebay calculate the shipping.

I’ve been amazed at what Oakland Steel can fit in a FLB and not have the box arrived destroyed.

However, when I ship I usually go up to the next size FLB to have adequate padding (USPS used to specify 3” of padding on all 6 sides and no shifting).

Thanks for the comments, we pack well, shipped things all over the plant back in the day, all of it made it well.

Do any of the carriers have special ebay rates directly to sellers, or just via their calculator?
