Generally for items weighing under 13oz, USPS first class mail parcel. For items up to 5 pounds either USPS parcel post or USPS priority mail depending on the quickness of delivery desired. Above 5 pounds, USPS parcel post or if you are a volume user, UPS and DHL become competitive options.
As for selling items together, that becomes a marketing decision and involve several factors that would determine whether it is better or not. That is not really a shipping issue although yes it is cheaper to send more than one item in a package than to send two packages.

The cheapest way to ship something you have sold from an e-bay sale would be to charge them for shipping. But if you are one of the reputable salesmen that wants repeat clients then I would go with the Post Office and pack it in a box that you can get for free. I don't really know how big of a box you will need for the dress but if you go to FedEx they usually give you there box's for free. Take that box and turn it inside out and then send it through the post office. I don't imagine you would need to much protection for the dress since it is not a breakable item but if you go to any store like Walmart or Staples or anything like that you can get a roll of bubble wrap for like $2 - $3.
So now you have a free box, cheap bubble wrap, and the cost of the postage. I think that's about as cheap as you can make it.
GOOD LUCK

I have found that USPS has the least expensive shipping methods.
http://www.usps.com/
IF THEY DON'T HAVE THEM IN THE POST OFFICE YOU CAN ORDER THEM ON LINE. THEY ARE FREE AND DELIVERED TO YOUR ADDRESS.
They have FLAT RATE envelopes and boxes. The envelopes cost about $4.00 and the box about $8.00 USD
The nice part about it is you can put in them what ever you can fit, without deforming the envelope or the box.
The nicest part is you can ship it any where in the USA for the same price including, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
One more thing about this boxes and envelopes. They are priority mail so they take 2-3 days to deliver in most cases. I get a lot of positive feed back just for this feature alone.
Parcel post it is the cheapest way to ship out there. You need a scale or line up at the post office to ship.
One more thing you can purchase the shipping right from eBay to pay pal and print in your own home.
Best of lucks.

i'm an Ebay broker. as quickly as I had a save i'd desire to get shoppers who have been procuring around and paid my fees simply by fact they needed or liked the object. Then Ebay raised their keep costs returned and many human beings closed down our shops. we are able to not stay in corporation and pay all our earnings to Ebay (2 costs) Paypal, the placed up place of work, and transport aspects. Plus a save value of $15.ninety 9 (the main inexpensive) in keeping with month to have the keep alongside with the itemizing costs and extremely final fee costs. Ebay is making all of the money. Now issues are rather low-value simply by fact many desperate to drop their shops and stop or sell purely on social amassing at public sale or open a internet keep. they are liquidating all of the merchandies that they had. I had 350 products in my keep and had to sell all of them airborne dirt and dirt low-value and circulate on. Ebay is a racket. they choose us to make money yet then they take it. be careful although Ebay has been dealing with adjustments and have wooed China to the marketplace. China is responsive to the thank you to compete with low-value imitations and knock offs. i won't be able to purchase something from a China internet site as they are putting our American sellers out of corporation on Ebay. And appropriate now Ebay has allowed them to checklist without paying costs (yet we nonetheless would desire to pay). This exchange into the deal they made to get them to connect Ebay. additionally merely like on the streets you spot fakes, some sellers sell fakes until shoppers get sensible to it. while you're procuring an merchandise for the type call, look on the sellers comments heavily. study what others say relating to the stuff they recieved. exchange into it genuine or fake? Are they happy with their purchase? Ebay isn't fool evidence and may be able to not give up the undesirable sellers, it takes time. you will get some great deal although on books, home equipment, footwear, and decor. merely continually look on the seller.

Use old newspaper for stuffing around the items Pack them in cardboard which you cut to fit the item. Send it through the Us Postal Service. Best way, every time, and the cheapest.
