Free Domestic Shipping on Comics

Hi Ebay Lovers!I recently Send 2 guitars the same day (1 guitar and 1 electric-Acoustic Bass)one went to france and the other went to Germany, I put the packages on the same USPS Post office at the same time,both were in the case with doble box and peanuts.
When the buyers receive the packages those where broken,the guitar that was a vintage gibson archtop was separated in 2 parts and the electric acoustic bass has a 18 inches crack on the front,here is the weird thing:
Both boxes and cases was in perfect condition.

Does somebody know what happens?

Can anyone recommend a good source for Necklace boxes. Or is it better to ship jewelry in a organza bag? Cant decide, opinion anyone?

Did you know that 30% of all comic books are damaged during transit? Due to sellers not packaging books correctly. Here are some tips for sellers to use when shipping comic books:
Always use 2 pieces of hard cardboard on both top and bottom of books to be shipped. The cardboard should be larger than the books by at least 1/2".
This will help protect the corners. Use a peice of paper when taping the cardboard together, this will help to avoid tape sticking to the comic book. Stamp the package do not bend. Also the buyer can help the cause by getting a larger mail box and talking with their carrier.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE SHOES...

I don't understand how sellers can include shipping? This falls into the catagory also of bidding at .99 how can you possible sell something for any amount of money and then include shipping. I have recently been adding a note to my items to buyers: Due to the high cost of shipping I am sorry I can not include this in my prices.
I did do this a few times when I recently started selling again and was very disappointed when I hit that shipping button to find out that I made a dollar or two.
And what type of shipping have you found is the best? Thanks so much for any and all your advice.

Hello,

Nik Naks Vintage has just placed some great items for the "BUY IT NOW" option. Prices are low and the garments are great! Shipping is also fast!

Today is the monthly billing invoice day. going threw and reading it I was amazed and astonished after all the sales i had I count my blessing only $7.63 was credited to my account.I follwed with a call to silver powerseller billing and wanted to know why is it they spend so much on promoting the double insertion fee and free shipping when at the end only ebay gain from it. he started and reply what do you mean? I reply if i spend from my pocket over $200.00 in shipping and you return only $7.00 back where is the common sense here.this promotion is designed well after the changes they enforce here and jumped the commission and fee now it bring more costumers to spend but ebay is the winner here.he reply it's in writing we only return 10% back i said its like reading a contract with fine print that only those who knows the laws can understand it. I am recalculate to remove all the free shipping now after all i do not own the UNITED STATE POST OFFICE .

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Here is a chance for us to share tips and recommendations about shipping products out to our customers. As a community, helping each other with information like this should aid each of us with lower costs to ship. And happy customers getting their jewelry safely and quickly makes the 'eBay experience' better for the customer, too.

Here's our first tip to start things off. We use 9x6 inch (#0 or #1) silver color plastic (poly) bubble pack bags. Smaller than 9x6 inch size makes your shipper 'non-standard' by USPS definition and subject to a premium fee for being too small. And a smaller size will be too small for PayPal/USPS mailing labels.

Our poly bubble pack bags are extremely lightweight, extremely durable. We pack our jewelry wrapped in more bubblewrap and a silk jewelry pouch.

We have not had 1 piece of damaged jewelry in over 3 years of shipping this way. Our shipping weight is almost always below 2 ounces.

We buy our 9x6 poly bubble mailers from eBay vendors. If you are starting out, you can buy as few as 25 or case lots of 500 to 1000. Prices, even with shipping fees are so dramatically lower than shopping for them at the 'Office' or 'Mart' retail stores that there is no comparison.

OK - What's your jewelry shipping tip you will share to help all of us start a profitable and successful 2008?

From- Sept - I had found out about a week or more ago the following are retired. Ganz has not fully updated there site with this information. Most of this is on there now, when I first wrote this alot of it was not on there.
Retailers trying to order these you can not, and some orders have been shorted.

NOW OCTOBER 18th - This is Now POSTED on the WEBKINZ site

Black & white Cheeky Dog ( on site retired last month)
Albino Horse ( Aug release)
PINK & WHITE DOG (October release)
Toucan
Crocodile
Leopard Lizard
Samoyed
Rhino
Elephant
Beagle
Collie
Chocolate Lab
Black Lab
German Shephard
Dalmation
AMerican Cocker Spaniel
tiger Snake
Striped Snake
Cocoa Dinosaur
Fantail Goldfish
Sheep
Floppy Eared PIG


Alot the above webkinz can be found on ebay, and bigger hallmark stores still have alot of some. I personally have only seen 2 toucans in my travels, and each store varied. One had a ton of Crocodiles but no samoyeds or rhinos. Another had a few samoyeds and rhinos but none of the beagle collie or older ones. Both the Crocs, toucan, Samoyed and rhino are very interesting to have been retired since they were released and then retired. The albino has been retired before it was even released. Nuts

Good luck out there, I do have most of these available in auctions. Check out my auctions and if you mention this post or my blog I will give you a free lil kinz with your purchase. ( can be any purchase not just webkinz) If you want a link to a few sites that confirm this just email me, i don't know if I can post it here. I think i can on my blog so i will have it there. It is also on my about me page.

I have a lot of 3, plus many other wonderful items. most are free shipping with buy it now or make an offer. Auctions start low, and I do combine ship. Feel free to inquire about deals in your offer if you purchase more than one lot or item from me. I am flexable and have over 300 webkinz in stock looking for new homes. I listed some of the best of the best below, but you can look at see sellers other items. Or find me in the blogs by clicking on my world. I give BONUS items for people who tell me they found me on ebay!

I know there is a lot of good advice from this group so I would like to ask for some of it.

I am thinking about adding international shipping for the holidays. I have looked at the places to add it in listings, Ebay help, etc. But none of it makes any sense to me. I have my listings set up as 1 standard USPS 1st Class shipping rate with a discount for additional items. So how is the best way to add international? How do I know what to charge? How do I show it in listings, etc.? Do I ship everywhere or just certain countries? PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Karen
