How do you ship the things you sell? Do you go down to the post office with each item or buy shipping supplies from somewhere and have the post office pick up at your house? I always wondered how people dealt with the shipping part of selling online.
I also do this. I sell light items that are less than a pound so that I an ship via first class mail. I have a scale and supplies at home - I use lightweight self seal poly bags from Amazon to make the package as light as possible. Ebay lets you print postage (often discounted) that comes with delivery confirmation. I then leave in my mailbox for the mailman or if I have a bunch of stuff take to my office mail room. I found that the best items to sell on ebay are designer.
For large lots of clothes, I sell on craigslist. I also sell my son's big ticket toys like scooter, bike, play kitchen, etc.
It is great to be able to clear out the house and make some cash.
