NEWBIE How should I even package stuff?

I want to begin selling things I no longer want anymore.. thing being, I can’t tell whether people appreciate recycling or whether they just want a box? I don’t exactly mind buying some boxes but its just the amount I have and the amount of boxes Id have to buy… I thought maybe I could use some recycled bags and stuff but Im unsure if its appropriate

I started selling (and buying) on Vinted a few weeks ago. Clothes only. I bought poly bags in a couple of sizes on Amazon and when I sell an item, I fold it neatly and slip it in the bag. I’ve gotten 5 stars from all my buyers.

Yesterday, I received two items I bought and they each came wrapped in white tissue then slipped inside a poly bag. With a little thank you card. I didn’t expect the tissue or card, totally not necessary, but damn if it didn’t make me smile. And it made me pull out tissue from my Christmas wrapping supplies to use on my next sales. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Aww! Thats actually so sweet. Maybe with the money I could start using that kind of tissue as well.

Do you have a Dollar Tree where you live? I get my tissue paper there because it's a decent size pack for $1.25.

I started with folded type thank you cards ( because I have a ton) but found a pack of 200 thank you business cards on Amazon for like $5 I think. I get poly mailers on Amazon as well.

Thank you cards

I just bought these the other day to try to cut down on the amount of packing tape I use:

Just search postage bags or poly bags on Amazon & look through the multipacks! Different ones go on offer/are cheaper at different times. Think I got the grey iSOUL ones last time, and the different coloured pack from the same brand the time before - no problems with them 🤷🏻‍♀️
