    Default Re: eBid parcel tape for money?

    Good Idea.........and of course some of us sellers are happy to advertise ebid & use ebid tape even if parcel contents were not sold via ebid! LOL

    You could get quite a few of them in a small parcel. My comment re the postage cost was referring to them on Buddy point auctions where eBid generally do them post free, the postage cost maybe the reason they no longer appear on Buddy points.

    Nice to know that it is not just me. I'm now on my last roll of the stuff and will soon be using plain tape, reducing the number of people who hear about eBid.

    While you're doing it, Brunwulf, see if you can explore a market here for Royal Mail size guides as well, if you can source them in bulk cheaply enough to make a profit. I'm astonished to find there's plenty sold on other sites, yet none here.

    Admittedly it's not repeat business the way parcel tape is, but there must be a lot of sellers who'd make a one-off purchase.

    And what about gaffer tape (duct tape)? The only choices for me (i.e. in the UK) here on ebid are buying one roll at £5.69 or TWENTY FOUR rolls!!! Blimey! I should be so lucky to send out that many parcels! But obviously I'm going to go elsewhere and buy a modest number, say 3 or 5, at a much better price. Even for one roll I can get a better price elsewhere than £5.69.

    Admittedly another aspect of duct tape is its quality. What recommendations do other ebidders have concerning quality of parcel tape and duct tape? Good brands, or sellers? Ones to avoid?

    The eBid tape is good quality....

    Now, to be serious. Really cheap tape is not worth it. I buy a decent brand often from a mail order supplier who sells the board backed envelopes which are my main packing requirement.

    I only use duct tape in small amounts (relatively) for keeping coins in their box when sending to the coin broker (I process non-UK coins for a charity) and I'm still on my first roll so I can't compare brands yet.

    ...
    Absolutely. Usually the cheap stuff is according to description, i.e. it's the right length and width, but tears too easily, or more often is worryingly lacking in real stickiness.

    Since I don't have any buddy points I guess I have to go to Amazon, where at least I can read reviews. Ebid must be truly mad not to be flogging their tape, a massive lost opportunity.

    Recently I've been selling several items per day on ebay. I do mention ebid in the little flyer I enclose in each parcel, but I'd love to be wrapping the parcels in ebid tape!
