Thanks for the advice:-)
Since I'm new, I'm still testing everything on eBay. Can you give me any advice if you have experience in shipping items on a regular 1$ post?
Does Australia Post strict about their 5mm thickness. Do they really measure that at the post office or do they just take eye measurements?
As others have said, you can't post for $1. The best you can hope for is the phone case in a padded bag for $2. There is a seller on eBay that sells bulk padded bags of all sizes at really cheap prices. They are good quality.
With the cleaning stuff is $8.65-$8.95 depending on where you are posting to is what it's going to cost you, plus packaging.
My PO will look at a padded bag and if it looks iffy, they'll put it through the gauge. It has to slip through the gauge, not be pulled through. Some of my stuff will get away with a $1 stamp, but most are $2. If I'm not sure, I ask them to put it through the slot and add an extra stamp if needs be.
I made my own letter gauge to ensure mine don't go over 20mm. Once they go over 20mm, they are parcel rate. As Dave said, some thick cardboard, a ruler and Stanley knife. I actually made mine 19mm just to play it safe.
Even if your phone cases come in at under 5mm, I still wouldn't post them in a regular envelope. If you do, they will go through the automatic mail sorter and get crushed. Being in a padded bag, they are hand sorted. They go as a large letter. Under 5mm at $1, between 5mm and 20mm, $2 if they are under 125g, including the packaging.
I can see you've added photos to the description of the cleaning gel. You need to make them a bit smaller because they go off the edge of the page. It could be hard for app users to see them. As time goes on, more and more people are using the app, so you have to make sure they get the most out of your ads. If it's too hard to look at, they go back and find someone else.
With your new ad for the shockproof iPhone covers, one of the photos in the description didn't take. It looks like an expired website address or something. I think it's the first picture. You also need to alter one sentence in your description. You have written, "you will definitely buy another cover from us when you see how thick and protective our iPhone cover". You probably should change it to ".........how thick and protective our iPhone covers are".
I like how you have an introductory offer giving an end date. It could be a good incentive for people to buy. I don't have an iPhone, otherwise I'd probably buy one!
