Question by melon_rose: ATTN eBay experts!! I’m selling a small item on eBay for the fist time, and confused about shipping types?
It gives 2 options if shipping thru the USPS:

US Postal Service Priority Mail® $ 4.05
Estimated delivery 2-3 days

US Postal Service Express Mail® $ 18.80
Overnight to many areas

US Postal Service Media MailTM $ 1.59
Estimated delivery 2-9 days (restrictions apply)

Now of course I would want to do Media Mail, b/c it’s the cheapest, but the “restrictions” are confusing:
“Media Mail
You can use Media Mail to send books, film, manuscripts, printed music, printed test materials, sound recordings, play scripts, printed educational charts, loose-leaf pages and binders consisting of medical information, videotapes, and computer recorded media such as CD-ROMs and diskettes.”

I’m just sending a couple of small, light makeup items. I was hoping not to have to charge people more, but should I just go for “Priority”? Is that typical for eBay shipments?

Thanks!!!!!

Answer by The one and only
I’ve never sold anything on ebay, but it seems that the media mail is only for things related to the media such as books and computer wear. i think you should stick to priority.
