Thanks I just want to add to where they charge for using stuff for shipping as in boxes/tape labels and such, now if anyone has been to USPS website you can have them deliver shipping supplies for $0 and i have asked myself if they(USPS) deliver shipping supplies for free and sellers on bricklink are charging an added fee for them most times i have seen a added fee of $2 - $5 for supplies. I myself have went to other stores that didn't Nickle and Dime a person and most stores are getting out of hand with added fee's You can get Priority Mail boxes for free but most orders will go through Ground Advantage. And even with Priority Mail the rate is generally lower if you use your own box. So ultimately the boxes aren't free. That said I don't think sellers should charge for supplies (boxes, envelopes, tape, gas, ramen, Mt. Dew). This might be true for the US but here in Canada (and probably most other countries) we need to pay for our shipping supplies so yes I will add a flat rate of $1 per order for shipping & handling, which in my opinion is very reasonable. Tho shipping supplies are still rather cheap so $1 can be a bit overkill. For example a bubble envelope is about 11 cents, bags are about 5 cents per order and shipping labels are about 3 cents so working that cost into your base shipping cost can make things simpler

[...] for bubble mailers it might be a bit high but when you're using boxes the cost can really add up and dont forget bubble wrap for sets etc (11 days ago, May 22, 2024, to Selling)
