Thanks Ed,

I was going to ship at cost. Also I have used paypal but only for ebay
items. I was always told to allow 4-5 days to make sure the payee couldn't
retract their payment with the notion of de-faulting on the item after it
was shipped. Large items will be shipped truck freight.
Thanks

Thanks Frank,

I didn't mean to sound harsh. I seem to be flooded with request. I can
never
get this amount of response in the news papers around here. Well I think
I
am going to be shipping timber to far ends of the earth. Also what is a
good
way to take online payments? I was thinking I would just take cash and
money
orders but alot of people are asking about paypal. Should I take this?

Yes. I've spent twelve hundred dollars via PayPal in the last two days.
PayPal lets me use either my credit card or my bank account to pay a
vendor -
but without giving the vendor my credit card or bank account number. The
only other way to pay for eBay things (for example) is via a money order
or
check - and then I have to wait for it to get there, and if it's a check,
to
clear. This kills impulse buying... something that you probably want to
encourage.

Be really really accurate on your shipping charges. Nobody wants to spend
$100
on shipping and see a $40 label on the box.
