Hi Kate, First of all you need to have a certain number of posts before you can sell anything. Not sure how many though. Admin can help you with that. Look at the instructions on the home page
I sell on ebay and may have a few tips.
People love free shipping! But of course that's your call. I'm just telling you what attracts some people.
A lot of people here on the board show fabrics with little cards on top of each piece with the price and yardage or size. I've bought from the board and I like to know the maker if possible. As long as they are neatly folded and photographed clearly I don't care how they are shown. But theme may be a good idea.
Unless you sell a ton of fabric to someone you can ship in those flat-rate Priority envelopes pretty cheap.
First Class goes by weight and I don't have experience selling fabric first class, sorry.
Money orders are easy to buy but you may wait. Ebay now only allows Paypal but that's a whole different story :D
Hope this helps a little!
OH- I do all my shipping online- so convenient! I have a scale that weighs up to 50 pounds. Saves me a lot of time and money!! And they are inexpensive to buy.
I don't sell fabric on ebay (in fact I buy it haha) but if I did I would sell it here instead. No listing fees, final value fees, etc.No fees here!
