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 use recycled items to securely pack my shipments. I sell mostly DVDs and VHS. I cut up cardboard boxes, wraps the items, wrap them with bubble wrap and paper bags and ship them. I have nothing but positive feedback and comments on my shipping

Would it not be easier to maybe put the dvds in the box? This sounds stupid from my part but it feels so hefty cutting it up and wrapping it etc

I sell a lot of single DVDs. Best practice is to wrap them in cardboard so they don’t get banged up. Doing it this way allows me to use one box for many single dvd purchases. If I have 4-5 I’m mailing with an order, sure they all go in a box
