Judy:

Most of my eBay items ship in an envelope. Because the USPS has a real need to fold bend curl and rip envelopes I have to place a stuffer in each envelope to prevent bending and folding. I use 6 3/4 (regular personal sized) envelopes for about 85% of my shipping needs. Then I have Monarch, 6x9, 71/2x10 1/2 and finally 9x12 preprinted envelopes. I have my local printer friend cut chipboard for me (the stuff on the back of notepads) to fit each size. The majority of these are the 6 3/4 size and then some for the other sizes. Each chipboard stuffer is printed with - Aquila eBay Tips For Collectors -.

1. Always read descriptions and be wary of vague references to the item(s) and see that the photos match the description
2.Any seller welcomes questions so when in doubt email the seller with your question
3. When you email always add the sellers email address to your allowed list. If you have problems doing this your ISP will have directions on how to do this
4. Add us to your favorites list and sign up for our newsletter to keep informed of our latest items for sale
5. Feel free to contact us for any special stamp collecting items you want or need. We also will accept your want list.

I admit these are rather narrow "tips" and in most ways are narrow to my customers. However, anyone could edit them to make it fit their customer list.
