I thought to ask here for reasonable advice on how to keep cost low and protect the materials. Some opinions on  what is a general idea of shipping costs that may or may not affect your willingness to bid. More importantly is the opinion on how to package, I would like to do my best to see tue modules make it there in the same condition they left. I have not used my Ebay account in years, so I have  0 rating, I would like to use this advice to improve  the feedback. I dont plan to make a career out of selling on ebay but from time to time  if I want to sell I would like the feedback to be positive.

Thanks in advance

I'm a big fan of USPS Priority.  It's fast, dependable, and relatively cheap.  As far as packaging, I find it best to put the shipped modules in some kind of plastic bag (for moisture and contact protection) and then put that between two pieces of sturdy cardboard (to make them semi-rigid).  Good luck!

Seriously!

I've been selling quite a few items on the Facebook RPG page, and I always try to sell via Priority Mail (either envelope or box). So I lose a couple of dollars... I don't have to buy packages, they come pre-sealed, and the post office does the rest.


RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord
