Lately I have been selling stuff online alot more. I even got into eBay. My first sale I ended up overcharging,the next one I undercharged. My third sale was an undercharge as well. I have the difficulty of being unable to call up the buyer and say, “Hey I goofed, send me 10 more dollars.” Not only is it totally unprofessional but I am pretty certain eBay would be unhappy with my actions.
If I were to make online retail a full time thing, I would most certainly have to purchase a shipping scale. If I had shipping scale, I could weigh my items and have an accurate weight for my products, allowing me to properly determine shipping costs. This would make things easy for me , and profitable.
I should certainly look into the Shipping Scales over at QuickSupply.net.
