a couple of ebay questions

[Dznypal]

first off we have a couple of those large blue and white very heavy pickle crocks I would like to put them

on ebay but how in the world would I even pack and ship it-theres one on ebay already that's close to the

ones I have listed for over $200!!!

next does anyone know why sometimes theres a discount for shipping when you print your label

in the last few months Ive sold quite a few things in all different catagories sometimes theres a discount and sometimes not

lastly we got a lot of the china cup and saucer sets (the collectable ones not the ones you use)
Ive listed and sold a few of them but sometimes I get a message that ebay does not recommend shipping them using there shipping center--what does that mean--it says the category Ive selected doesn't recommend it

thanks for all the advice

First do you know if you clicked the global shipping center box? It easy to do and this is where you ship it to eBay and then they ship it out to the buyer. This could perhaps be what they call the shipping center but I dont know for sure.
You get a discounted rate of you are a top rated seller. Or if it's over a certain weight limit then you get discounted shipping. They are doing this to keep ship prices somewhat inline with places like Amazon etc. hope that helps somewhat

thanks for the reply--and yes it helped a lot--I have sent things internationally which went real easy--but now 2 things I listed said that ebay doesn't recommend sending through the shipping center I never got that message before that makes sense about the discount shipping rate--its funny cause sometimes I would get it and not other times

thanks again--take care
