Thank you. I'm an occasional seller on Ebay who is just trying to sell my closet clear out stuff periodically. I've been using Ebay for a long time and the USPS shipping changes have affected me. I'm grateful that you made this video.
When it comes to flat rate envelopes it honestly doesnt matter to a certain extent. Regardless of the weight or dimensions they will charge you the same "flat rate". But if you look down by the barcode on the envelopes it will tell you the exact dimensions and it also says up to "70lbs". So basically youll be charged the same price up to 70 pounds, anything over 70 pounds you cant use the flat rate anymore. Hope this helps.
Hi Kyle, when using a poly mailer and if you stuff it with a jacket, would that change the dimensions with it being stretched in thickness? For example I'm selling a pair of ski pants that weigh two pounds. It won't fit into the priority flat rate envelope. How would you ship it?
Great question. It will change the dimensions but I only ship items less than 1 pound in poly mailers so as long as the dimension isn't 24 inches it doesn't matter and you will be chargedon weight only. . I personally just shipped 2 pairs of ski pants. Anything that will not fit in the flat rate envelope I put in a "padded" flat rate envelope. They are poly material and stretch a bit so can typically put oversized clothing in those. Hope that helps.
Yes it does, thanks.. the padded flat rate envelope is it more expensive than the regular flat rate envelope? If I wanted to use the padded one how do i select it on ebay?@@pineywoodspicker

Thanks for the kind words and good luck cleaning out the closet.
Thanks for showing the ebay shipping screen. I was overthinking it lol
Most people overthink it. It's easier than it looks. Thanks for watching.
EXCELLENT!
Thank you!
Glad to help a little. Blessings
Thanks, Kyle. You've helped to simplify what seemed to be a rather overwhelming process.
Glad to help as always
Good job, teacher! Blessings.
Just starting and this is a great vid, when you use a priority flat rate envelope what are the dimensions for that?? Thank you in advance
