Another option from Australia Post is the Padded Mailer (PM1). They are $1.39 each from retail stores (69c if you buy them in bulk off website), and they incorporate the bubble wrap in the mailer, so you have some protection. I also think it seals it in so you dont get water damage into the Dvd. The PM1 are the correct size for a single Dvd and you can still use the stamp method for postage. I'm thinking Courtney -> Court (for short) -> The judge -> Chief Judge is my submission for Courtney's new nickname. Anyway, Have a happy.

Great series. Ill throw my 2 cents and suggest that she might want to target higher cost higher profit items since her storage space is limited. $10 DVDs arnt going to do much if she cant store 1000s of them.

Yep I second this. You have to buy in bulk of at least 100 but you save min 0.55 cents + the cost of the envelope when the weight of the large letter is over 125g. You are also allowed to put up to a max of 500g in weight meaning box set dvds can go in there too which can save you up to $3+ on a postage when the weight goes over 250g. Finally they have no expiry so when there is a price rise, stock up and you can maintain the same cost of postage for longer.

that postage envelope is a nice hack to make a profit on a $10 DVD you have some good postal staff on the Gold Coast... I wouldn't normally consider any DVD worth less than $20 resale as I assume at least $5 postage

My suggestion would be to take terms like "free postage" out of your titles, your items won't show up on Google shopping with those terms in the titles. Doesn't matter so much when not running promoted listing's but it's a bad habit to get used to for when you do turn promotions on

Hi Courtney I notice in this DVD you have listings with lots of item specifics required. I was led to believe that if you don't fill them in then you don't get the items out there in public view. Again things keep changing with ebay so that may not be true anymore. Does anyone know the story on this as I do keep all of mine up to date now?

Quick question. Does eBay not put a defect on your account in Australia for not showing tracking? They do here in the states.

yep. ebay provides millions of customers. facebook is very limited

Is your store doing no shipping or something because all that goes into the shipping cost and the customer pays that. Well at least here in Canada the only thing the shop owner pays shipping wise is the eBay total value fee which is only 13.25% + 30 cents which eBay takes out of the sale before the shop owner receives it so no out of pocket except for the posting fee and inventory. That is unless they have no shipping and in that case you add that with the price of the product. Because of this she should be getting the money for shipping at the end of the week when eBay pays her so why is she going for the cheapest option where the product could get lost in the mail and she has to give the money back. I am doing research for it here in Canada and most people use flat rate mail here because it also has insurance on it in case it does get lost at lest then she will get some income if it gets lost in the mail and she has to return the money. That is if your country does have flat rate mail.
