Where do people on eBay get packing materials for little or no money?
Hello!
I have been selling (and buying) on eBay for years but lately it has become too expensive to buy bubble wrap and boxes. Uline charges too much for the size of boxes I need. Any suggestions on ways to cut down the costs?
I appreciate any hints or tips you are willing to share!

Reach out to family and friends and let them know you would be interested in their boxes from internet purchases. We get a lot of boxes that way and I typically make them the size I need. I also reverse the boxes so the exterior is just the brown board. Its easy to do and takes just a little glue.
Where do you buy your rolls of bubble wrap and how much do you pay per roll?

Mentor2 years agoLots of good deals right here on ebay.
Might be also worth getting a store for the number of listings you do, which has extra discounts and a small allowance for shipping supplies.
What size boxes do you need?
