Thought we'd have a clear out of various stuff and stuck a few bits on flea bay, which is the cheapest method of delivery? One such item is in a box approx 150x100x75mm is this a packet or parcel? Better off in a jiffy bag or wrapping in bubble and brown paper! I have no idea!

They have a postage estimator which will help!

I usually just do it all through ebay. You can pay using the funds you've just received, just print the labels out and drop it off at the post office. Might not be the cheapest but usually only pennies in it unless its something huge.

Nick do you still wrap it package it up etc? Didn't know that was an option. Is it the big grey envelopes I've seen being handed over the counter?

You do your own packaging (I re-use packaging from stuff I've bought), weigh it then fill out the postage thing on ebay and you get a page to print out and stick on. It's already got their address so need less typing and less chance of error, too. If you've got a few things write what it is on the packaging as soon as you stick it up as it's easy to get confused.
