i dont know how to get those bubble mailer things, does goozex send me one after someone wants a game on my request list?
you go to your local supermarket, office supply store, or discount department store and buy 1 (or more). then you put the game in the mailer and write the address of the buyer on the mailer. take the package to the post office and ask to ship it first class w/ delivery confirmation
alternatively, you could use the bubble mailer you received from the game you received. then follow steps 2 & 3.
Yes devyanks is correct, although another place to get bubble mailers is the post office.
Ship the game using a bubble mailer such as...
Or get rather cheap mailers at...

Amazon is cheaper (for some). They seem to have the 100 pack for the cost of the 30/50 pack
Avoid using the post office to purchase supplies as they usually mark up the prices quite high compared to most other places. If I can buy a bubble envelope at Walmart for 80 cents, the post office will probably charge 3 bucks for it.
Also, the more you buy, the cheaper it'll get per envelope.Look on the envelope for the size. Size 0 is the perfect size to ship games in a standard DVD style case, though it never hurts to go bigger in the case you need to ship a thicker game.

what should you use for postage? regular stamps?
Slap enough stamps on there and you're fine going domestic, but a lot of users find it easiest to use the paypal shipping label generator. I don't have the link handy but it's all over the forums. Just print it out, tape it on top, and stick it in your box.
yea i found that i think.. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now&info .. which is better? usps or ups?
on a side note? how do i stop it from emailing me when i post? :| i only want to know when someone else replys, not when i send my own message. D=
Personally, I have yet to have anyone complain...I get an old cheap cardboard box (like pop-tart box thin), turn it inside out, fill it with leftover Wal-Mart bags for padding...didn't cost me a dime (more than I was gonna spend on the Pop-Tarts anyways). Boxes of that general size are perfect for the printout label Goozex makes, and it doesn't seem to increase postage. It's an amazingly light material.
so basicly i could take some cardboard (like from pop-tart box) and pad the game case with plastic bags, and wrap that cardboard around it?
That's kind of what I personally do, I turn the box inside out and pad it. Taping it back together brown-out. I also go by the rule of "is this how I'd mind getting my games" when I'm padding it up, and compare it in my mind, saying "is this as protective as a bubble mailer". If I can answer "yes" to both, that's how I send it.
thanks for the idea ...would it "need" to be brown? what about solid white?(think white poster board)
cause i got a load of that stuff lol.
p.s. i hate the face....it looks creepy :|

Deffinitely USPS. It takes much longer with UPS.
