Shipped an item by GA that I had expected to weigh 8 pounds with a
package size of 17×17×6 inches. eBay calculated shipping cost: $15.14.
Weight ended up being closer to 9 pounds, and the package size an inch
smaller at 17×17x5 inches. Actual cost to...
Sold an inexpensive book with Media Media as the only shipping option.
Shipping page shows MM as "Buyer Selected." So far, so good, BUT eBay
has populated the Priority Flat Rate Envelope option and grayed out the
MM selection. No way to change it bac...
Sold an item (on another ID) and buyer messaged a few hours later asking
for shipping to a different address. Item is pricey and a target of

unable to ship to an address other th...

@brightlightbookseller Can't help with the value, but the spine
decoration is Britannica's thistle logo. (The thistle representing
Scotland, where the encyclopedia was first published in Edinburgh.)
I always assumed MM was cheap enough that USPS did not negotiate better
rates like it does with other classes of mail. It does seem possible,
though, especially with MM prices up substantially in recent years.
Probably a question best answered by eBa...
I started reading an Easyship page that had the $2.80 price, but it
seems to be outdated since it also mentioned First Class rates. Most
booksellers aren't rolling in money. It would have to be the best kept
secret ever if there was a site offering M...
