Postage Question

[digital-top-range]

Hi

I am new to ebay business, I am planing to sell micro usb kind of products on ebay, But I am not sure how can i minimize the postage cost. how much postage to ship one micro usb cable? how much does the package cost me?? can i just use the smallest letter to ship one cable?

A small parcel is around $6.75 to send.

Take one to the PO and ask the cheapest form of postage as with out the dimensions and weight of the package we can not advise of the cost unless you use the satchels that are the same cost to post Aust Wide and again ask at the PO for the prices.

Thanks, some sellers are selling one micro usb cable for 1 dollar with free postage.  I can not believe that there is any margin for them.

They are either Chinese sellers or the seller is using them as loss leaders to get buyers into their stores to make other purchases.

it's actually 20mm thickness and rate is $1.80 for large letters between 125g and 250g.

$1.20 is for under 125g and $3 for letters between 250g and 500g

If it is less than 5mm thick and under 125g rate is $0.60

And prepaid C5 envelopes are $1.40 with a maximum thickness of 20mm and weight of 500g. So they are the way to go if weight is over 125g.
