Really depends on what you are selling. Can you give examples of what you are planning to sell?

@peshalidistribution_online This might give you some ideas. I don't bother with the tissue paper and fluff part.
Large bubble wrap is a must for fragile items. Also REAL styrofoam peanuts and not the cornstarch ones as they get smashed in shipping.

Consider if you want to insure the item. Insurance is for the seller and the seller is responsible for the item arriving safely and ON TIME to the buyer.
Priority mail comes with $50 insurance

Your location is listed as Sri Lanka.
The reason I checked is because your posts don't quite sound like a native English speaker. They are very good, but a little off.
If English is not your native tongue and you plan to sell on the U.S. site then you may run into translation problems with buyers by not using the correct English. The most common example of this are the many Chinese sellers on eBay whose English can be comical.
eBay farms out its customer service to countries like India. Although they can speak good English they often have no clue what I am talking about when I use native American expressions. If you don't correct translate a concept form your own language to English that could lead to misunderstanding with buyers.
You'll need to contact someone with experience shipping items via Sri Lanka's postal system.
Packaging the item can involve dozens of questions.
Is the watch is its retail display case? These are typically made of cheap clear plastic that might break and / or damage the watch during shipment. It might be a good idea to take the watch out such a case and cushion each one separately.
Paper tissue is an abrasive and should not be placed next to anything that can be easily damaged.
I shipped hundreds of loose pieces of jewelry using 3/16" cell bubblewrap which I typically purchase in large rolls. Crumbled newspaper, which is free and costs less than bubblewrap, is used between different bubblewrap encased pieces of jewelry and between the outer box wall and interior items.
Packaging peanuts are a waste of money! They and the items that surround them can shift during shipment. If you tightly pack them into a box by shaking the box as you add them in, an effort to prevent settling, items can still be damaged as peanuts are very dense. A shock to the outside of box will be transferred through the peanuts to the contents of the box in the same manner as energy is is transferred from ball to ball in a Newton's cradle. They also weigh more than the amount of crumbled newspapers required to duplicate their volume.
Shredded paper is waste of weight. Unlike crumbled newspaper it provides no crumple zones to protect the items. Squeeze a hand full of shredded paper and one hand of crumbled newspaper in your hand. One provides resistance and the other does not.
