More info required.

Normally Australia Post, at least within Australia.

But that depends on dimensions, weight, level of seller protetion required...

The site map, and the eBay postage calculator should give you the information you need.

Depending on what the game is, of course. A game on a DVD will be cheaper to post than a board game, for example. Google board game if you have queries. Things like, Scrabble, Monopoly....

thanks for the reply my friend. the games i wish to sell are ps3 and psv games. because this is my first time to sell things on ebay so i wish to make sure everything is clear. the postage is the one i worried about the most.

How big are the games etc that you wish to sell?

How much do they weigh?

As Dave said, Aus Post is our only way to post things, otherwise it's a courier.

It really all depends on how you need to package the games.

If bubblewrap and satchels work, there are a few flat rate options

there are also flat rate bgoxes available.

Other than that, it's cubed wieght and measurements, so use the calculated postage

Will they go as a large letter? can't be more than 500g or 20mm thick (including packag9ind

there are a number of stiff cardboard mailing options - either have a look at your post office and play around with what they have, or eBay search 16mm mailers

International, look at Pack and track for things under 500g - was $20 last time I used it. no idea what else there is or iof that is the same price now

remember when posting as a letter though there is no tracking so no protection for you. if posting as a letter, consider registering the mail

Albert, Australia Post has some handy "easy guides" which give a summary of services/prices. Here is the international one:

and a link to various domestic ones (you can select parcel guides based on your posting location - click on Parcel Post: pricing breakdown by state)
