The Exquisite Death of NK Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 For Ebay listings, the format still only lets you put in a max of 4.00 for media mail when selling items. Will they make the increase available too? If media + tracking is 4.22 the lost money adds up after a while. Just add to the item's cost You can't do that if its an auction though.

UntitledRecords Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 You can't do that if its an auction though. Right, and if it is a buy it now listing and you are trying to stay competitive with the other sellers with the same item, you end up losing either way.

horrorbusiness138 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I just sent a record to someone yesterday via media mail, weighed 1LB 1oz, used paypal to print the label. Total cost = $3.40 A record for someone to enjoy forever = priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 You can't do that if its an auction though. print postage through paypal, which ebay makes really easy... it's still under $4.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtcohenour Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Holy Balls! That's ridiculous!! I agree. I sold a few singles on discogs while I was out of town this weeks so I bit the bullet to get the records to the buyers faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a 7" it's cheaper and faster than media mail! kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You could have shipped it First Class man. For a 7" it's cheaper and faster than media mail! I never thought of that. I like to have tracking when I ship so I can protect myself but I guess I could have added it if I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure tracking is free with First Class. The number will print out on your receipt. If you print your labels online, tracking is 100% free.
