Ship It Like You'd Want to Unbox It
The fastest way to turn a good sale into a short story is a ceramic lamp in a grocery bag. Shoppers will forgive a scuff you photographed. They will not forgive a scuff you created in transit while calling it "packed with love."
Double-wall box. Fill the voids. Tape like you mean it. Put the listing title on a slip inside in case the label has a day. Tracking is not optional theater. Tracking is how you prove the universe delivered the toaster and not a pile of crumbs.
Shoppers: if the seller offers tracking, take it. If they offer "I'll throw it in the mail this week," you are buying a vibe. Vibes are not insured.
We do not take a platform cut on the sale. The chain takes its slice. Your job is not to donate the rest to the pavement. Pack it. Photograph the sealed box if you are nervous. Sleep.
Comments
If there is no tracking I am buying a vibe. I can get vibes cheaper.
The grocery-bag lamp was a true story at my house. Not anymore. Double-wall or it stays on the porch.
