Thanks. I thought about a toothpick holder but it’s really too long for that. Incense burner? I’ll look into that idea. It could hold a small flower. A tea candle would be too large to fit inside.
Thanks for your help.Yeah, that’s my thought too. I researched nun’s clothing but came up empty. Thanks for your help.
Found some more information. Apparently this was from Ballard’s Feeds. I see some feed sacks with a similar image printed on them. Perhaps this plate would be for large feed sacks???

Good idea, scott2. We had considered that but the image is so large that I’m not sure it would fit on a shirt. Thought about trying to print some big posters with the chicken but I’m not sure how to do that without the ink drying on the plate too quickly.
Jay, we tried to find some local Ballard’s Insurance but came up dry. I just looked up some businesses on Facebook that are called Ballard Insurance and am trying to pitch them on purchasing it… We’ll see.
That’s what I do too. The problem enters in when calculating for different zones. Parcel Post could be $10 when shipping to a nearby area but $30 when shipping to Zone 8. FedEx Smartpost will be $16 to the nearby zone but only $24 to Zone 8. I just wish that eBay would list the cheapest method first no matter the order you have methods listed. I find that often buyers don’t even look at the other methods and will just use the default.

I agree with you 100% on looking for the good side of this. If you read some of the other forums you would think that eBay has just made sellers promise their first-born. I think with the technology that is available they should be able to accurately predict the delivery times. If not, they’re on the hook.I only wish that the shipping cost that shows on a listing would default to the cheapest method for the buyer. Another topic, but I would think entirely doable.
I get old electronics boxes at the recycling center close to us. They often have the foam inserts still in them and they are fairly standardized in size for items like VCRs or stereo tuners. If you have a recycling station close to you, check it out.
Yep. I ship internationally all the time in poly mailers. It will be cheaper to ship because of the lower weight and a duffel bag is designed to get knocked around anyway.
I might double bag it to protect it if it is a higher priced item.
Congrats on your first international sale. May it be the first of many!
Did a little more research and found that the answer of who pays hasn’t been fully explained. Different sources at eBay have different answers. Check out this link for more info.
The end of the article says, this:
eBay spokesperson Ryan Moore provided us with the following response last night:
“As long as sellers meet their same-day or one-day handling time commitment, eBay will cover the buyer recompense for guaranteed items that arrive late (which is either free return of the item, or reimbursement of shipping costs).
“If sellers do not meet their handling time commitment and an item arrives late, the seller will be asked to cover the buyer recompense.
“eBay will protect sellers and pay the buyer recompense in the event of delays caused by major and unexpected weather events.
“In all cases eBay will manage customer service for buyer recompense, so it will not cause a time burden for sellers.”
