Hi all, I am new to eBay selling, and I'm not sure how to go about this.
I am selling small items and it can fit an Untracked Letter with 2 stamps.
However, if the buyer orders 2 (or more items) and chose the Free Postage Domestic Regular Letter Untracked, how do you send it to them?
Do you send the 2 items in separate envelopes?
Also, is there a setting that I can set to my listing, to make it only Free Postage if 1 quantity and then other Postage methods when its more quantity?
Thanks and appreciate your inputs.

......Just to add - sticking a plastic cover in a large envelope - going through AP's system - crunch.
I'd revise my idea of sending safely - and arriving in the condition sent...
would certainly test the "shock proof" and "anti-shatter" features.

Perhaps check out SuperFlat Mailing Box Large Letter Size Rigid Envelope 15mm and 20mm - there are several versions and sizes. The 140 x 85 x 15mm are designed to fit in a medium AP pre-paid green tracked envelope. The largest box size may be big enough to fit several side by side if you are happy with an untracked service for that value.

Thanks for the explanations. It makes sense to me now.
So if someone orders more quantity, I can use the โpostage moneyโ for stamps to get a bigger box instead.
i just initially thought.. if buyer chooses Regular Letter Untracked, I must follow and send it as Regular Letter Untracked haha.

How a seller posts is always up to the seller.
I realise you are new, but a simple cost-benefit analysis might be in order.
If you want more information than already furnished, I only charge $100 per hour, paid in advance.

Well almost.
If I paid express post and they used cousin Joes Camel via the black stump. They would get a negative from me.

OP is selling at around $8, any registered service is going to hit their bottom line. Given they are getting no more than $4 less purchase cost.

I hope you didn't buy 100 or 1,000 of these things, because by Christmas, they'll be completely outdated.
I'd also be removing the watermarks from your photos. They scream Chinese seller, so turns a lot of people off. If you are in Australia, people assume you will post with Aust Post. You don't need to plaster it on your photos. As for your location, that is also in your listing. Chinese sellers will put AU seller or whatever on their listings, when they are in fact in China, posting from China. Savvy buyers know that, and avoid.
As for the postage, what the others said.

Sadly they do, and Ebay seems to be a magnet for them. LOL

Yes, exactly. In fact, it may be in your favour as a proper box or satchel or container with tracking is always going to be more impressive than something just stuck in an envelope.
Customers won't complain about stuff sent better than they expected, only if it is worse or sent much cheaper than they expected.
