Most helpful video I’ve found so far. I just got an assortment of boxes, my scale, a box resizer tool and have about 30 items drafted ready to go minus inputting shipping because I’m so lost on what to put. This helped me a lot! I might just get those drafts published soon. Thank you

[@GrinderCB]

One thing the local post office workers told me is that for an item to go as a "package" as opposed to a "letter" was the 3/4-inch thickness. I sell a lot of flat items like collectible magazines, comic books, etc, that often go in envelopes. They advised me to insert a couple pieces of cardboard to make it over 3/4 inch thick without adding much weight.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Interesting tidbit that I did not know. THANKS!

[@jeremiahblundon4877]

As a Postal Employee I can confirm this. The reason it matters is I believe tracking for a flat (magazine)/letter is a fixed rate; usually around $8-$9, as it's not based on weight but putting tracking on something that doesn't normally come with tracking. So making it thicker to qualify it as a package could reduce shipping costs. This is my understanding as a Carrier, a Clerk would be able to give you a more specific on prices for a letter/flat. To my understanding the only options for tracking on letters/flats is Certified which needs a signature for $8 or a small envelope that has a tracking number on it and you put your letter in the envelope, which costs around $9.

[@historyhunter5215]

Ha! Now my wife can "Eat My Shorts Man" 🤣😂 She gripped at me and said I was a hoarder for keeping foam padding😊

[@madmax8620]

But WHY do you want to change your letter into a "package "?? What is the purpose of it?!?

[@jeremiahblundon4877]

@@madmax8620 tracking for a letter is more expensive. You’re paying a flat rate of $8-$9 as a letter for tracking even if it’s going down the street. Making it a package can make it cheaper to ship by almost half the price.

Ive watched this video 3x and will probably watch it another 3. Its very helpful. My main issue right now and choosing the price for shipping on my listings. I saw you last video where you talk about different weights and pricing, but how do you know how much its going to weigh ahead of time, if you dont know which box you are using. Also, do the flat rate boxes always have the same price for their assigned size? Thank you Scot for all the help. Because of your channel, I am actually taking the plunge of starting my resale journey.

[@TheChaChingKing]

You are so kind! I truly appreciate it. I know a lot of the weights just from experience. But you can always weigh the item and add some for the box and packing. It won't be exact, but it will probably be very close. There are two types of flat rate USPS boxes. The true flat rate ones, like the padded flat rate and the medium flat rate, have a specific charge regardless of where they are going or how much they weigh. The Regional Rate A & B boxes charge 2 pounds and 5 pounds respectively. So, they vary some depending on where they are going. So, if you have an item under 15 pounds that fits in a Regional Rate A box, it'll get charged at the 2 pound rate. And, above all else, it WILL get easier with more experience. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. I still make mistakes. But I'm smarter with every one.

Hey Scott, thank you for all your great info. Question though, what is a regional A box for? How do you use it? I've always seen it but never knew anything about it so I never considered it. Help!!

[@TheChaChingKing]

It ships at a flat rate based on distance instead of weight. I think it is the 2 pound rate regardless of how much it weighs. So, if I had something that weighed 7 pounds shipping to Hawaii and it would fit in the Regional Rate A box, it would be far cheaper than just shipping in at the regular weight. Does that make sense? It's not always cheaper, but really can be.

Hey Scott, I have to say you create great learning videos. So helpful! Question - when creating your shipping fee, how do you build that price? My items are? Or do you truly just guess and learn as you go? This is the part of the process that keeps boggling my mind? Thank you for any help!!!

[@TheChaChingKing]

I have 2 videos that talk about shipping. The first one covers some of the costs more in depth. But, keeping it short, if it's under 8 ounces, I ship it first class for about $4.99. Between 8 ounces and 16 ounces, I charge $5.99. If it's over a pound but fits in a USPS padded flat rate envelope, I charge $8.99. If it doesn't fit in the padded flat rate, I usually aim for the Regional Rate A box and charge $11.99. I'm not trying to get them exact, just close enough to be fair. Does that help?

Hi Scot! Thank you for the video. At what point do you decide to refund shipping overcharge to the customer? I've heard people say if there is a $10 difference but I've refunded a customer for $5 before. I never want anyone to think I'm trying to make my "fortune" off overcharging for shipping. Thanks!

[@TheChaChingKing]

For me, it's more about the percentage to the overall sale. Like the example in the video. The overcharge was close to 5% of the overall sale. If it had been a $1,200 item, I probably wouldn't have refunded anything if the overcharge was $6.

[@TheThriftedTrunk]

I was wondering the same thing...

[@TheChaChingKing]

I probably just wasn't clear. It just would not fit in the smaller box. So, I cut out all of that trying to keep the length of the video watchable. But, it just wouldn't go in the smaller box, at all. The bigger box seemed cheaper because it weighed one pound less than my estimate.

[@jag4442]

@@TheChaChingKing Next question: When you create a listing, are you entering shipping weight for a more accurate amount or just guesstimating at the approximate cost?

[@TheChaChingKing]

Most of the time, we know the shipping weight just from experience. The rest we make an educated guess. For example, i know if an item fits in my 12x9 ziplock, it will fit in either my poly mailer or the priority padddd flat rate. So, ultimately, on those items i only need to know if it's under or over a pound. If I really can't estimate it, I weigh it.

Thank you for your videos! Its been a long time since I've sold on Ebay and you’ve given me the incentive to start again. The shipping looks easier than it use to be since you can go thru eBay . Found your instructions are easy to follow and understand .
