Know your postage sizes

Check the size and weight limits for the postage options you use, then buy packaging to suit.

Weigh before you list

Weigh items in their packaging before listing so your shipping prices are accurate.

Stock your top three sizes

Most sellers can cover the majority of orders with three satchel or box sizes.

Add a thank you

A sticker or small card costs little and helps buyers remember your shop.

FAQs

Marketplace seller packaging questions.

Can't find your answer? Call 03 8689 9344 or contact us.

What packaging is best for eBay and Etsy sellers?
Courier satchels suit soft goods, padded mailers suit small items, and Australia Post sized boxes suit larger or fragile orders.
How do I keep postage costs down?
Use packaging that matches the postage size you need and keep parcels as light as possible. Satchels and mailers are usually lighter than boxes.
How do I ship fragile items safely?
Wrap them in bubble wrap, pack them in a box with filler so they can't move, and seal the box well.
Do you have plastic-free mailing options?
Yes. Paper mailer bags are a popular paper alternative to plastic satchels.
Can I add my shop branding?
Yes. Custom stickers are an easy start, and we also offer custom printed satchels and mailer boxes.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Yes, we deliver Australia-wide. Stock orders typically dispatch within 1–3 business days, and we offer Click & Collect from Thomastown, VIC.
