What I can’t do , is to create the madia mail label from the usps page, without the eBay account. I’ll love to hear from you about this matter đđđ
Does media mail come with tracking when using eBay to print off the label? I am an new seller, and so far have only shipped priority and first class, so I am able to see when a shipment has arrived with those services.
Another question can I ship them in a dvd shipping box or does it have to a bubble envelopes. I have a few SteelBook blue ray listed and I donât want them to get damage on the way to the my customers.
Can i resuse Amazon boxes for media mail?
Very helpful and straight to the point.
Ive been doing it wrong this whole time, ouch!
This was very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you! Clearly the most intimidating aspect of the whole reselling venture. I appreciate this greatly & subbed. đ
Great job and straight to the point nice video I’m subscribed
Nice info Steve, very easy to understand how to use Media Mail. thanks
you also can NOT send USB drives or MP3 players in media mail. Great video.
I have another question đ do you know what Changes when I sell a book to puerto rico from here the US? THANK YOU đ€
awesome Thanks !
Great video right to the point thank you!!!!!!
I have a couple more questions. Can you prepay for media mail postage online to print at home? Or do you have to ask them for media mail shipping and have them do it at the post office? Does Media mail get shipped slower than regular mail?
I’ve heard MM can be really slow. Is it possible to also include another shipping method as a faster alternative? Say, if a buyer wants to pay the extra bucks for Priority, can I make the listing reflect that?
Is this a common practice, or do most of buyers opt for the cheaper Media Mail shipping?
Thx!
disc of any kind is readable media dvd cd video games especially disc based games are readable media or computer based its common sense if its not then wtf are they if they cant be read they would be paper weights i build pcs even IT technichians know that lol
Great info on this topic. Thanks for the info.
You they say dvds that means movie right? What about blue ray
I’ve been having a problem with my local post offices, and I’ve seen others have this issue as well – the postal workers are saying that to qualify for media mail, the context must be educational in nature. I know that’s a crock, but why are so many USPS offices saying this? Is it some new "rule" they’re trying to enforce? The guidelines are clearly stated on their website and other postal service providers’.
Does eBay care if you send non media media mail to save money and collect the difference on shipping
Thank you!
Thank you Steve for this concise video. You just saved me at least $20 in shipping fees. đ
Iâm assuming coloring books would also fall under the category of video games and blank media.
I am getting conflicting answers from USPS, do you know if a USPS first class package is eligible for the free USPS âSchedule a Pick Upâ service. I have done this service once for a Priority Mail package, but I canât figure out if a first class package is eligible for this service. Thanks
Can I ship a loose leaf text book without binder
sir video games classify as readable cd or dvds it does not specifically say no video games
I send magazines through Media mail all the time. I’ve never had any problems. I send video games this way too.
Hi Steve — What about portable hard drives? I’d like to use media mail to send portable hard drives with video and audio files on them recorded from live events… Would this be acceptable for Media Mail? Thanks
Great thanks
What about calculators??
Dang. I had a bunch of video games ready to list using media mail shipping until I seen this video. Saved me a lot of money and headaches. I simply just went back and listed them in first class. Thank you!
I just sent 10 wii games via media mail . I screwed up
Great explanation.
Great info, as always đ
You laid this out so well, nobody has been this descriptive and clear on YouTube in my opinion!! đđđ€©
What I dont get is why do you even get a option for media mail on a video game listing if it’s not allowed? Ebay can easily
Remove media mail. I personally dislike media mail too rough on parcels
Maybe a dumb question but do you have to create your own labels or does the post office do that for you?
Thanks for getting straight to the point and actually saying them outright. The only channel that answered my question. I somewhat understood USPS about the "Pre-recorded DVDs" but really they need to actually say what you just said so that even the dumbest person can actually comprehend without any question.
so you just mention that it’s media and it’s cheaper?
Radio???
Thanks for the video – I’ve been doing some searching because I’m trying to sell a large lot of (30) VHS tapes and the answers so far have been confusing. I noticed other ebay-ers selling lots of VHS tapes through Media Mail so I assumed that they qualify..
I asked at one post office today in person and they said that it had to be educational only… BUT then I called a different local post office, and the main USPS call center, and both said it would be fine since like you said it qualifies as a video recording (but the first guy didn’t know what a VHS was, ha.).
Maybe because VHS tapes are obviously outdated so they aren’t spelled out directly on the USPS website for Media Mail, which adds a little to the confusion. And the USPS website also doesn’t say it HAS to be educational only – it says, "Media MailÂź is a cost-effective way to send media AND educational materials."
I think that I’m probably fine, but there seems to be a disconnect between the different post offices and I’m worried about getting billed (or the buyer billed) more than twice what I am selling them for because some random USPS worker decides it doesn’t quality because they aren’t educational :/
I’ll let you know how it goes..
Selling 30 to 60 year old comics, any advertising in them is no good. Have shipped them Media Mail before. Was I just lucky?
Thanks!
