Thanx for the suggestions.   I dont think I would feel good about sending items out in ziplock bags,  although if it were a personal mail out,  its a great suggestion.    I dont have a problem sending clothing out and tacking on the 7 dollar postage fee as I feel people expect clothing to be sent in larger packaging and expect the postage rate.  But for a pacifier they dont expect to be paying 7 dollars in postage,  in fact if I tacked that rate on to the item I would be priced far above everyone selling the same item and noone would buy from me,    The pacifiers are all silicone no hard pieces so they would bend in the mail,  I just dont want them to get stuck in the sorter,  although the other sellers dont seem to have a problem with damaged goods as all their feedback is quite good.  Oh and I should add I know the other sellers are sending them stamp mail because i bought from them to see.   IMO the postal worker at the desk was being an ***     I wouldnt be surprised if he was owner of the shop or if they are just briefed on getting more money from us.
