How to ship my ebay package?

Ok so I sold an iphone on ebay and i went through PayPal and payed and printed my shipping label. Now I was just wondering what box I put the phone to ship in? Just a random box at my house or a flat rate box at the postal service

You should buy flat rate box from the post office. Because that box is safe. Put your i phone on that box. Then your iPhone will not be damaged and you will get positive feedback from buyer. Hope this will help.

You did this backwards. Without a box, how did you know that to put for postage?

If the box is smaller and lighter than expected, you overpaid. If the box is larger or heavier (and not flat rate), you will have to have the post office weight it and pay the difference.

Priority boxes are free at the post office, BUT you must pay priority rates. The post office has other boxes for sale which could go first class (if under 13 ounces) or parcel post.

I'm an ebay seller if i was you i would buy a box from the post office thats just big enough to fit the phone its looks better and you probably have less chance of it getting damaged they don't cost that much either
Hope i helped x

  • What's the latest that I can ship something I sold on ebay? So ebay recommends that I ship my item (an iphone) within 24 hours, but the post office isn't open until three more days, is it okay for me to ship it then instead? Please help. Thanks for all the advice guys! And I actually did contact the seller this morning but he hasn't answered, oh well…
  • USPS lost my package from eBay and the seller refunded me, should I still file a missing package claim? I had ordered the iPhone 7 for my birthday last week and I never received my package. I went through a whole ordeal with USPS (who was no help at all). Eventually the eBay seller was happy to issue me a full refund but I'm wondering if it's worth my time to file a missing package claim.
  • SHOULD I SHIP MY ITEM TO THIS SUSPICIUS BUYER ON EBAY? Today I sold and Iphone 4s on Ebay and everything was working out just fine, the buyer payed like usual. Then, the buyer messaged me and said "I accidentally put the wrong address. Can I change the address?" I replyed and told him/her "NO". I then went to paypal to see if it my funds were pending and they was. I also looked at the buyers buying history and he didn't have any. He joined August 14, 2014. Do you guys think I should ship the item or contact ebay?
  • How to ship items sold on Ebay? I want to sell a video game and iPhone 4 on ebay but this is going to be my first time selling something over the internet and i'm not sure if i'm gonna know how to mail something after its been bought. When an item is sold, does ebay automatically give me a label to print out and put on the box or do i have to make the label myself? Please help, I really want to make some money and sell some unwanted things.
