That's a cross border problem though. If you are trading within canada, I imagine it is much cheaper.

Re: Bartertown becoming a cash only site??
I used to have a description of using multi-order shipping on the paypal site in my signature, but too many people have not left me feedback and I had to cut it.

Re: Bartertown becoming a cash only site??
Damn. I just checked. I've shipped about ~240 packages and paid over $1,000 in shipping in 2017. Which goes to show you, my average shipping price is around $4.
Edit: and that's without going to the post office. Although I did just splurge and buy a label printer.

Re: Bartertown becoming a cash only site??
Canadapost is a funny thing, it can get a little cheaper 10-12$ range for boxes but it can also be higher than shipping to the States or the UK. It really depends on the region you are shipping to.
info about shipping: Lower ratting pays/ship first and I live in Canada.
thank you

I'm almost close enough to the border that I could drive across and head for the nearest post office in Canada to mail things, but I'm not sure that's an acceptable practice.

Re: Bartertown becoming a cash only site??
I've seen a lot of Canadians with US po boxes so it can't be that frowned upon.

Re: Bartertown becoming a cash only site??
But with trades, most of the time both sides are paying very close to the same amount for shipping. If not I usually remind the the other trader difference in size or weight and try to get compensated in the trade for it. But I would rather not deal in money, because don't want to sale off
my hobby stuff. When I get cash, it goes to a join account and ends up getting spent on boring stuff like food and rent.
By trading I am allowed to replace hobby stuff with hobby stuff.. And not have to worry about having to plea bargain months later to be able
to buy something to replace the thing I sold.

Re: Bartertown becoming a cash only site??
Well, I won't rehash the reasons for a lack of small item (1 or 2 pieces) trades/sales [shipping costs], because I feel it's been thoroughly enough discussed.
As for boxes, though, I like trading card boxes. Those little white beauties are inexpensive, and are STURDY AS HECK for shipping.

Lower rating? You ship first.
