Shipping small electronic items

Hello,
How do you recommend shipping small electronic items?
For example, I have some DDR memory sticks for PC that I’d like to sell, and I was wondering how I should ship them.
I’m basically worried that the shipping cost could end up higher than the profit.
Browsing Ebay for similar items, I see that most sellers ship these items for free, meaning they don’t add shipping costs to the price asked of the buyer. But how exactly do they ship them?
Thanks

·1 year agoIn the past I have shipped memory sticks, phones and HDDs with the BRT courier by buying the shipment through eBay and I have never received any complaints. The cost for shipping a relatively small package suitable for a memory stick is usually just under 5 euros; for the items I planned to ship this way I always set a shipping cost of 5 euros and I never had to take a loss on it. It’s very convenient because you can print the shipping label immediately, pack the parcel at home and choose the time slot when the courier will come to your place to pick up the parcel, without having to go to the post office.

OP1 year agoI just looked up the rates. It doesn’t seem like there’s a shipping cost lower than 5 euros, at least 5.11 euros apparently. Am I missing something?
Thanks
