Where can I purchase a suitable scale for weighing my items and what kind of scale do I need?

For heavier items use digital bathroom scales.

Weigh yourself first then weigh yourself again holding the parcel and subtract the first weight from the second.

Staples sells real shipping scales but for the casual seller it is not worth the expense.

It depends how heavy your items are going to be.

I bought kitchen scales from Canadian Tire they were under $12.00 and handle up to 5kg.
