- Today I share how I'm shipping 5 different items. I show you how I create a box for a bulky large item and how I pack and ship it safely after it sold on ebay. Then I show you how I package and ship fragile items like porcelain plates and breakable items like a music box so that it arrives safely to the buyer. I also show you how I pack and ship plush stuffed animals and smaller items like Christmas ornaments and LEGO that sold on Ebay this week.

Sometimes, I'll wrap cardboard around a small flatish box and ship in a bubble mailer. It's good to know how to frankenbox but it may increase the weight and shipping cost. Having the right packing materials available can be a challenge, especially for everything sellers like us!
Not sure if you’ve seen or tried this handy helper… but Lowes has the large brown rolls of paper, used for painting or carpet/floor protection. I think I paid 10-14 dollars a roll last time I purchased it. It’s awesome for shipping and last a long time! It saves me
Being a new reseller, I appreciate all the wonderful tips and ideas you share on how to do things, like packing for shipping!
You are so welcome!
I would have sent the boxed ornament in a bubble maler, wrap in 1 layer bubble, viola!
Love the Tardis box😄
Nice demonstration!
Thank you!
Thank you for taking your time to show us how you ship items.
Thank you for making this informative how to ship video. I was wondering if you could do a next step video of the input on ebay site with how & what to type in your ( mine) account to the end where the shipping label is ready to stick onto a package.
New subscriber here from the UK. Loving your content 👍
@ABLReselling, :) Thank you very much!! :)
I also have cut boxes down to help decrease shipping, esp. if its not a breakable item.
Yes, I saw a YT’ber cut down boxes to cut the cost by using a tool that makes little holes (sorry, Idk the name of it), then scissors.
Don't you have to know the box measurements and weight before hand? Otherwise how do you know how much to charge for shipping? Sorry if this came through twice. Thank you
I am a beginner. I know EBay typically assigns a weight and box size when I list an item. Do you go back in when you are boxing for shipping and change it to what you are actually sending and the weight? When you do that does EBay change the amount of the charge for the shipping label? Thanks for the video Margaret. I had never heard of Frankenboxes.😅
I was wondering about this as well
I do. I put it in when I make the listing, but sometimes change it when it sells.
Could you have shoved a couple of straws in the tea kettle spout, then tape to keep in place?
And I get all my bubble envelopes from Dollar Deals 😃 May be able to get them cheaper online, not sure
Don't you have to have the box dimensions and weight before hand? Otherwise how do you calculate your shipping?
I did guesstimate the weight pretty well, then eBay asks for the dimensions once sold. I now try not to do that tho.
how do you know what to charge for shipping if you dont know what packaging your using until the item sells?
This subject would make a great video!
I made a video on this just recently! :)
Watched it😊 thank you!
😊
I just had a glass cake pedestal smash and had to give a 100% refund. How would you have packed that? It was about 12” across and 5” high. I did 3 layers of 1/2 inch bubble wrap, padded around it with bags and marked as fragile! It broke still! Would love you thoughts.
Anything breakable, especially anything with a stem or protruding parts, I would bubble wrap until the item is unrecognizable, put in a box with padding all the way around. Make sure that box is full of padding, then put it in another box full of padding all the way around. Get it to where you can throw it off of a roof. If you have one inch styrofoam available that works great for cushion between boxes, used bubble wrap, or packing paper. You want no movement of the item inside the box when you shake it.
😁❤️
Do you use USPS priority boxes?
sometimes
