Self promotion is GOOD! You weren't kidding about those low start prices--I'm salivating. But s'up with the shipping and handling?

Now I'm shaking in anticipation! Here's what E-BS-bay has for your listing:Haven't looked at what BS eBay inserted there, but its $5, $1 more for another disc in US.
rough as it may sound, all ye U.S. based QQ-ers, please do spare a thought for those of us in the UK/Europe (i can't speak for our members in Canada but maybe you are all suffering too?) i know at least over here we've long been getting import-a-mentally shafted with this Quaddiction, i can't take much more long distance postal punishment fo'sho!
As folks can vouch who have bought from me, in the US it is $5 that I charge....that is for Media Mail, in a USPS padded envelope that cost me about $1.75, with extra bubble wrap inserted. It's break even at best. Overseas or Canada, I charge you what it cost me, there is no Media mail outside the US from my understanding, so until Rump changes the postal rates....
If you sell even casually, you shouldn't be buying mailers individually - you can get 25 for about 40 cents each, with further savings at 100 (about 20 cents per): https://www.amazon.com/Mailers-Seal-Shipping-Envelopes-Secure/dp/B076XBJ8QN/. They also don't need additional bubble wrap (and it's actually a mistake to use it IMO). And use Paypal for shipping - you get the discount even if you didn't sell through eBay or them directly - Create Shipping Label - PayPal. Your total cost for shipping a CD shouldn't be more than $3 if you do that.As folks can vouch who have bought from me, in the US it is $5 that I charge....that is for Media Mail, in a USPS padded envelope that cost me about $1.75, with extra bubble wrap inserted.

Totally fair! I'm just pointing out where there's places to save. Paypal shipping isn't connected to eBay, it's just a way to print labels and get the same discount you get when shipping via Amazon/eBay. I picked up a box of 100 CD mailers (7.25x8 Kraft Bubble Mailers) for $16 shipped in 2013 and I'm only now finishing going through them, so I do get the clutter issue.I'm sure its great advice but I'm downsizing and don't need 100 mailers hanging around, and I like my lady in the local Post Office so I don't ship anything via Ebay/Paypal e....if anything the Global Shipping Program is criminal. Call me Mr. Old Fashioned.
Yeah, I've got a shipping materials problem at my house (a constant battle to clear out or decide to save for re-mailing) or the mailers can be reused as just extra padding. But to be fair I think the onus should be on the buyer to inform the seller if they prefer better packaging and compensate the seller for the extra effort.I just use the mailers from the zillions of albums I've bought...
