      He does have a point you need to mention that the priority needs to be weighed and measured so you can get accurate price. To use when printing out your own shipping label

    THANK YOU. I’ve been searching everywhere for basic info on regular priority shipping and have been only seeing stuff about flat rate, regional, etc... I just needed to know if I could use my own boxes, now I finally know!

    Been a viewer for a bit but my first time commenting. If the post office doesn’t accept those packages, I would look for alternate drop off locations. I drop off my packages at a grocery store that takes USPS packages. It’s quicker, no hassle, just drop off and go.

    Found a red nintendo wii at goodwill today for $60. It came with a bunch of other things such as balance board, wii fit, and extra nunchucks. Not sure if I will sell it though because I have another one that broke today that I played games on. Selling off some of the nunchucks, controller, and the wii fit and balance board as I already have all of that. For some reason it also came with an old mac charger and a lenovo computer charger.

      If it is just "Priority Mail" that means it is measured by weight and size of the box. It can be any box or package.

    Thank you very much for a very good explanation on how to ship on eBay. I have one more problem that I got myself in to... in short I visited a SELLER HUB and I didnt Like it at all, and I'm not alone in this.
    Question I have : how can I switch new seller HUB to the old version.? I think Ebay did they best to force sellers in to it promising an easy way out , but they forgot to show sellers how to do that.
    Can you please help me to get back to old version.
    Thank you.

    So if you use the priority mail option to send and you use the ‘priority mail package’ and use your own brown box, do you still have to fill out the dimensions and weight?

    • @TheRadicalReseller
      @TheRadicalReseller  4 роки тому +2

      Yes Brandon because on eBay the package price is determined by weight and dimensions or they also call it Zone.

    • @TheRadicalReseller
      @TheRadicalReseller  2 роки тому

      You can as long as it is first class weight. I don't know that putting an envelope around the box would make first class cheaper. If anything it would add more weight.

  • @Westcoast10
    @Westcoast10 2 роки тому +1

    It’s ridiculous how much more they charge just to use the flat rate boxes. Same height and weight of 2lbs was $10.96 to ship out an item today vs $19 to use a large flat rate box 🤦🏾‍♂️

      eBay has a deal with USPS to allow up to 16 oz for first class when printing an ebay shipping label. If you walk into the post office it is 13 oz.

    When selecting Priority Mail- using your own box. This is the phrase they say..."Up to 70 pounds and 108 inches in combined length and girth. Girth is the distance around the thickest part of the package". How do you figure this with your box?

    • @TheRadicalReseller
      @TheRadicalReseller  3 роки тому

      just put in 3 measurements of the box. If it is too big with the 3 dimensions it will tell you. If your box is that big though you probably will want UPS.

    FYI if your not shipping a gallon or more of liquid or concrete do not use large flat rate boxes.............RIP OFF
    Also Priority Mail stickers are FREE at USPS.com to use on your regular boxes so that it is noticed by them easier.
