I'm in college and I ship alot on ebay, the closest post office is a 45 minute walk from me so it kills me everytime I have to go so I decided to buy a bunch of stamps for when I'm sending one coin items of low value

I'm sending about 100$ worth of bank notes out tomorrow and would you recommend me letter mail them or pay the difference and xpress post them?

I am in the US, so I can't speak of the Canadian postal service, but the method of just sending a letter may be less secure than is needed. I would go to the next level. Here that next level is Priority Mail, where you can get tracking, delivery confirmation, and/or signature required.

If you do send them regular post, make sure that the envelope is opaque enough to hide the contents.

Agreed with fuzzy. Not sure what the Canadian equal would be but for a 100 dollar item use a method that has tracking.

Remember that all a buyer has to do is say they never got the item and ebay refunds their money from you and with no tracking theres nothing you can do. Its one thing if that happens with a 5 dollar item another for a 100 dollar item

you can always schedule a fedex pickup for free..request they bring an airbill and envelope..of course you are not allowed to send cash via fedex, but everyone does..maybe your most pricey option however your most reliable..you get what you pay for..
