Ok I just been looking around at some different posts talking about shipping. See some people asking for $6 some asking for $6.20.
Here is the deal. A small flat rate box ships anywhere for $5 bucks. Yes $5.20 if you pay at the post office, BUT when you buy your shipping label on paypal it comes with free delivery confirmation and only costs $5 bucks. Then you tape the label to the box and it is ready to go! Can even ask for a currier to pick up your packages for free. I do not understand why people are asking for $6 and more shipping when 5.50 covers the paypal fees leaves you with 5.05 and then pays for shipping when a shipping label is purchased through paypal.
I screwed around and used very old priority boxes I had left over. ended up paying 6 bucks shipping to some folks in the ventrata deal but that was my fault. The post office is pushing the flat rate it seams and it is now cheaper. I was never trying to make a buck even minuscule on it. Shipping is shipping and flat rates to my understanding are the same nation wide. Are they not?? It is not difficult to figure out what you need to ask for to cover paypals fees if you are truly just asking for shipping. It is 2.9% plus 0.30 cents.
Also being kind a gesture it may be. When sending money to someone for shipping do not send it as personal so they don't pay the fees. Then they cannot print a shipping label and take advantage of the discount and getting the box labeled very simply.
Ok that is my rant for the day...
