You are welcome! Lower shipping cost means more bids! I love forever stamps! You can use forever stamps on media shipping; and you can still update this auction to media rate as well. Just change it to read exact shipping and note that you are using media rate. Then when the auction ends and you have the winner's zipcode, you can call the post office with the weight and zipcode and they will tell you the cost. In fact, I think you can find out online.

But how do you find out exact weight without running to the postoffice all the time?

Hi Tammy,
Forever Stamps = you pay current postage rate for the type of stamp you put on a letter - $.44, then say postage goes up to $.55 per stamp. The forever stamp is still honored as current postage without adding to it. (unlike the stamps that show a set amount on them. I never buy anything but forever stamps anymore. And you just put as many as needed, at current rate, to cover the postage on a package No matter how high postage goes, they cover it the same as when they were bought.

Media Rate = This is used on any printed or recorded materials. Such as books, magazines, hand outs, catalogs, DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes, etc. It is way cheaper to send these items that way. The Post Office checks the weight of the package and using the zip code of its destination, will tell you the cost. You let the winner know and they send the shipping to you via cash, check, money order, forever stamps, etc. Getting stamps makes it easy because you take them out of the envelope, stick them on the package, and mail it! There are several sellers I have done business with that actually prefer the stamps, and state as much in their listings, because it's less work for them.
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for telling me this. I have never heard of either one of these. I will look into it for future auction items. The forever stamps sounds like the better way of the two. But I will check into it. Thanks, Tammy
