I have found that if you save your washing tablet boxes they make great packaging for small fragile items.  There are some good sturdy ones e.g Daz, and Asda's own make.  I also recycle all bubble wrap from items I have bought and   by doing this I can keep the costs of packaging down and this makes for better prices for ebayer purchasing from me. Get your family to save their boxes as well, my mother in law (bless her) collects from various family members and brings them to me in her shopping trolly, in return I make her toast and tea (lemon of course).  I hope this helps some of you that are new to ebay.  Happy Ebaying to you all..Tricia
