New Seller Help: Is it ok to ship/post items in branded boxes (LG etc, microwave, toaster etc)?

[moremania]

Hi there. I am a new seller to Ebay, so I don't know much (if anything) about the Ebay selling world. For those that have been selling and shipping/posting items for a while on Ebay, do you think it is okay to ship/post items (of any size, big or small, depending on the item and space in the box) in branded boxes? Such as those you would buy at a store for microwaves, toasters etc with a company logo on them? Or shoe boxes as well? I am thinking of doing this myself.

If you think it is, would I need to cover any logos or anything else on the box, or would it be fine as is with just the shipping/posting label attached?

Thank-you guys! 😄

Just to let everyone know, I should have mentioned that I am not from the US, but Australia, so I'm unsure if USPS and Australia Post rules and regulations for shipping/postage is different or not. I'm very sorry for not making that clear in the original question.

I'm also not sure if we do have a Walmart in Australia. I could try going to Big W and Bunnings and see if they sell or have free boxes or packaging for me. But as per many answers here, I won't be using any boxes displayed in stores. Thankyou for the warning.

Hi

Is a shoebox sturdy enough? Some on here say no but it seems as sturdy as other boxes I have.

Thank you
