I've purchased a lot on ebay, but when selling only sent in 8.25 prepaid satchels with Aus Post.
I have received many items with cheap postage (e.g $2) just sent in a letter, mainly children's clothing, so I thought I would offer that option for my buyers to save money.
I did my first one a week ago at the post office, lady told me to stick two stamps on it, no problems. So since then I have posted more stuff (just in my local post box) in envelopes, and I affixed 3 stamps to each (they probably only needed two, but I wanted to be sure I'd put enough).
Today I was at the post office again, and had one to post with me, but the lady said that it was too thick (didnt drop through their little template, but because clothing gets air trapped etc could have squashed it down and it would have fit) and I had to pay parcel post rates.
Now I am super freaking out about the ones that I put in the post box, I'm worried they'll either send them back to me to be resent (meaning I'm going to lose a heap of money resending them all as parcels) or even worse that my buyers will have to pay something before they pick them up (which of course I would refund, but it wouldnt look good for me as a seller).
Can any experienced sellers out there give me any idea of what might happen? They were all very light, definately under 250g, probably under 100g actually, its just the thickness I'm worried about.
