I'm looking to sell a lot of older PS2, Xbox, DS, and PSP games.  Most of them are 100 or 150 points.

It is pointless to goozex these as it's $3-5 dollars to ship (with or without confirmation) and I'm only getting $5 in goozex credits.

I'd like to sell a group of them at once and get 400 or more points and that way it would be worth it.

Is there a way to do such a thing?

 

Thanks in advance.

No.

 

How are you shipping?  First class with delivery confirmation, even if you go to the post office and not use paypal shipping, starts at 1.16, plus something like .17 per ounce. Plus .75 for D/C.  I just sent out a full package 360 game at the PO because my printer broke, and it run me a total of 2.43.

Tinsel:

I've tried multiple post offices in my area and they all cost the same.

This is expected as all post offices use the same rates.  The key to getting cheaper rates is to buy postage online from the USPS website or through your Paypal account.  This is referred to as the "electronic rate".

Tinsel:

On USPS.com a priority padded envelope with delivery confirmation is 5.60.

You should be shipping using First Class Parcel; not Priority Mail.  Both are essentially the same service and speed, though First Class Parcel is limited to packages under 13 ounces.

Even if you were shipping Priority Mail, packing materials are provided for free.  The USPS will ship them to you, or you can request them at the counter.  They provide DVD-sized Priority Mail boxes that provide adequate protection at no charge to you.

Tinsel:

Still asking: is there a way to do a bundle?

No, unless you happen to be matched up with the same user for multiple games.  Any other method would allow the buyer to unfairly jump their position in the queue.

Stop overpaying for shipping, and it might be worth it then.  It really shouldn't ever cost over $3 with delivery confirmation to ship a game in the US.

On USPS.com a priority padded envelope with delivery confirmation is 5.60.  I'd like to see how you are getting it for less since that is the official price on the web site even (and what I'm paying).

I advise you to go to Sam's Club / Costco and grab bulk mailers, which would make them <$0.25 each, then shipping total should be <$3 including delivery confirmation.  If you are really concerned about weight ship disk & manual to eliminate the weight of the case.

I've already purchased the bubble envelopes in bulk (like 100 for $15).

I'm looking right at the USPS.com web site.

Priority Mail is 4.95. Delivery confirmation is 0.65.  Total is 5.60

First-class is 1.51.  You CANNOT get delivery confirmation with first-class.  If you get certified mail (blech) it's 2.70 extra, for a total of 4.21.

Please tell me EXACTLY how you are shipping this WITH delivery confirmation to get it under 3 dollars.  Thanks in advance!

First class parcel can get delivery confirmation.  Exactly how you do this is go to the post office and tell them you want to ship first class with delivery confirmation.  The D/C labels even have a check box for first class parcel.

I wonder if this is a State or County thing then.

I DO see that there is a check box on my delivery confirmation tags that allows First Class to be used (didn't even look at it until you mentioned that), but I just called 3 of the ones in my area and they all said that they cannot do that.  It must be Priorty Mail.

I live in CT. and get first class with DC all of the time. You may also want to consider PayPal shipping then DC will only be 18 cents.

That is absolutely false, as evidenced by the huge amount of games I have sent here using first class with delivery confirmation.  Not only that, but I've done it from ~6 or 7 post offices in three different states!

They need to reacquaint themselves with their policies then.  Clearly lists deliver confirmation as an available add on for First-Class Mail Packages.

This is false information, not sure how you came up w/ that.
