Ebay and Paypal - Page 2

I remember when I sold a lot on ebay, sometimes I had the simular situation where my item would not fit in the priority boxes. The soultion is simple, make your own box, I always save large boxes for this purpose alone.
With some imagination, box cutter, tape and a 2X4 you can make a box to fit any need. Have done this many times and with great feedback for how my items were packaged.

So, I walk in, point to a priority box and can get one for FREE? Maybe that was the issue that time then..

PTS, you would not believe what I walked into at the local Post Office, I actually thought I had stepped back in to the middle ages, and would not exactly been surprised to have seen the Pony Express ride up.

I would believe anything in OK. You all do live in the middle ages. JK I love OK specialy the buffalo ranch outside Enid that sells the 1 pound buffalo burgers the size of plates.

Yes any box you can get online for free and shipped to you, you can get that same box at your local post office for free. The cost of the box is allready calculated into the cost of the postage.

regular flat rate boxes can be loaded up to 70 pounds, the regional flat rate boxes have lower weight limits

Thanks to the mailman at my local post office, he straightened a few things out for me, so I will be better prepared next time around.

He and I believe that 1 or 2 of the FREE boxes would fit the laptops, but if nothing else, one of their "ready post" boxes he said is ideal for laptops. It only costs $2.99 so I can always add that into the cost when selling laptops.

All unions are not bad. Being in business yourself I garuntee you contracts are not bad. You cant run a business without a contract. Every sale by definition is a contract. When management wont follow a contract they signed that is breaking the contract. Anyone who knows me knows im far from a left wing tote the union line person. But I would have to say your wrong on this one shendog.
