    Hey everyone, I have done my far amount of research but I was wondering how tacoma world goers sell there stuff. I have never actually sold anything online and then shipped it. Would you suggest pay pal ? How does one calculate shipping and boxing costs. Can anyone give me some insight on there experiences.

    It's fairly straightforward.
    1. Read what's in this link: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/buy-sell-trade-rules-revised-9-30-2016.166075/
    2. I use PayPal. Yes they charge about 3% but that's the price of doing business.
    3. Weigh and measure the item. Better yet, put it in a box and weigh the entire package.
    4. USPS, UPS, etc have shipping calculators. Pick a zip code on the other side of the country and price it out.
    5. Personal preference but I like to put up one price with shipping included. Makes it easier to sell and you don't get a bunch of replies asking for a shipping quote.
    6. Post plenty of pictures and an honest description of any wear, scratches, etc. I prefer to over describe so the buyer is fully aware and expectations are met. I'd rather have the buyer be happy in that the part is better than expected than unhappy thinking they were screwed.
