Hi Becky,
I have never bought any boxes to ship items in. I breakdown boxes that I receive in the mail or from UPS and save them in my garage. When I need to mail stuff I just reuse one of the old boxes. I also use the FREE priority mail boxes for the USPS.
Some of the items I shipped last year were too big, so I had to create my own box by cutting and putting two boxes together.
When selling on Ebay, you shouldn’t have to pay for any of the shipping charges, you can pass the costs onto the buyer. You can even charge a little extra to pay for your packing supplies too.

Christy,
I was reviewing your selling on ebay tips and noticed that you mentioned that you had to resort to making most of your boxes for shipping. Please elaborate…I have a few target clearance items I want to sell on ebay and the shipping cost can really add up.

I bought a bunch of toys at 50% off, then shopped again and purchased the same items at 75% yesterday. I just returned the 50% off items last night. So, I agree, keep looking! There may be more items available in these next few days!

I was at the Bonney Lake Target today and after going through the 75% off aisles, going to check on a few other areas of the store, and walking by the toy aisles on my way to the check-out counter, I saw a Target employee putting more toys on the shelf straight from boxes she had wheeled out from the back. Different toys than previously on the shelves–All 75% off!! You may want to check back.
