Haven't sold vintage toys on eBay in 10-15 years. What should I know before I get back into it? | Toys & Hobbies

Hi, this isn't necessarily a toy-specific question, but most of the collectibles I'd be interested in selling are toys or models, so here I am.Has a lot changed with regards to shipping charges and how eBay calculates that and takes its percentage?Many years ago I purchased a postal scale with the intention of using it to accurately calculate shipping prices for eBay listings, but I never really sold anything on here after I made that purchase.Is it still a good and viable practice to weigh and measure my items in their boxes and then plug that info into eBay in order to generate an accurate shipping cost for the listing?Any pitfalls I need to be on the look-out for if I do that?I'm not trying to do this as a business or a side hustle. I'm just a lifelong collector, mostly of science fiction and monster toys, and I figure it's time to sell some of them.Thank you for whatever input you might have.
