Reducing Shipping Costs on Small Items as a New eBay Seller

Question

Hello fellow eBay enthusiasts! I'm new to selling on eBay and would love to hear your advice on keeping shipping costs low. Suppose I'm shipping a small, lightweight item like a 4-inch glass hand pipe. What strategies or shipping services do you recommend to minimize costs without compromising on service? If you've had similar experiences or challenges, how did you manage them? I'm eager to learn from your insights and experiences!

Not much you can do, as you probably want to put that in a box to protect it. Many will list multiples of the item to ship together, and/or make separate shipping show the cost of the first item cover the cost of a single item with additional items shipping for free or for a small increase.
