hey. Can you help me with this confusing thing about my selling limits?

[vintagetonow2134]

following are two screen shots

here it says I reached my limits for this month

here it says I have 41 left Active

[vintagetonow2134]

how do you print your own label?

[vintagetonow2134]

oh and when you print your shipping labels through ebay. Do you not pay anything when you take the box with the label to the post office to be shipped?

[lachnrd]

I’m also interested in that VHS shipping for under $13 just to break even.

[vintagetonow2134]

Rude

[momcqueen]

Pardon?

[vintagetonow2134]

On Second thought. I will use bubble mailer. When I said No. The one I had in mind is the Yellow envelope with bubble wrap inside it. That can be ripped easily. But the bubble mailer that I saw at the post office Says resistant to water and tear. So maybe I will use it. After all that's what everyone on facebook tells me. They ship VHS Tapes with bubble mailer and never had any issues. So why not? Now my problem is how long should I wait for payment before I contact ebay? And how do I contact eBay regarding that. Is there a link I use to contact them that is specific to the item that hasn't been paid? Or should I just use their email or phone? What do you think? Also I decided because of that I will not do auctions again unless there is absolutely no way for me to decide on a price. And so far the sold and completed listings give me plenty of ideas. But I wanted to do auction style because I liked the idea. It's always fun. But If I Have to deal with people winning and forgetting about it. Nope. Fixed with a best offer option when I am not too confident. And I will be accepting the closest offer to my ideal. Thanks for all your help guys.

An unpaid item reminder can be sent after four days.

How many kilometers will the bubblewrapped VHS tape travel?

[femmefan1946]

I had in mind is the Yellow envelope with bubble wrap inside it. That can be ripped easily.

The paper can-- the plastic bubbles themselves require a box cutter or scissors.

The poly envelopes are 'more' waterproof (the paper is the weakness on the others, but again the bubbles are waterproof plastic). And they are VERY hard to open without scissors or cutter.

Remember that rates change with dimensions and bubblewrap is bulky.

(The VHS tape will have to go parcel rate, so not a problem, but if you have something that is 1.5cm thick which would travel LetterRate and put it in a bubble envelope, it will be 2.5cm thick and must be sent at the higher Parcel rates.)

Yes, you can access your eBay account at the library and print your labels there.

My library charges 10 cents a page for printing. Another cost.

Ontario to Alberta I think

For the titanic set?  That doesn’t sound right. How did you come up with that number?

How are you going to mail that camera case?  You’re charging $10 with free shipping and shipping will likely cost more than that. You should have measurements of the case in the listing, there are many different sizes of camera cases.

You should also give measurements of the statue you have listed...that would be more accurate and more professional than comparing the size to a coke can. 

[vintagetonow2134]

I didn't have anything to measure Now I do and I will revise tomorrow. But I still can't weigh. So putting the dimensions won't make any sense

[vintagetonow2134]

regarding titanic. Thankfully I just found a small box and I will go and see again tomorrow for a rate. Whatever it is. It will probably be less than if I were to buy it from them.

[momcqueen]

Until you have a ruler to measure and kitchen scale with which to weigh, you should not be listing items. You will lose money on postage if all you do is make WAGs. Guess too high and no one will buy. Guess too low and you’ll lose money.

This won’t work for you in the long term unless you invest $20 on some basic tools: a ruler and a scale.

[vintagetonow2134]

I got one ruler now. And in my plans for next month is the scale.

and what do you mean by WAGs?

[momcqueen]

WAG =
Starts with ‘wild’ and ends with ‘guess’.

[vintagetonow2134]

what is the closest thing to USA media mail rate? any idea?

[momcqueen]

Check Find a Rate at Canada Post.

p.s. Canadians don’t have a Media Mail Category so any advice you’ve gotten from YouTube or Facebook about it is not helpful.

[vintagetonow2134]

item paid. it tells me to ship now. But it's saturday. Post office is closed. Besides as I said in the listing item will be shipped within two days . Does that mean I am ok to ship monday?
