    Determine the number of each size box that you want to order. Most are offered in either ten or twenty-five.

  4. Step 4

    Click on the order button to put the boxes into your shopping cart.

    Choose the continue button to complete your order. The boxes will be shipped via US Postal service and usually arrive within a week.

Tips & Warnings
  • Priority Mail eBay shipping boxes can also be used for shipping items Priority Mail International.
  • Check the weight of the item you are shipping after it is boxed. Go to the US Postal website to see how much it would cost to ship from your zip code to your customer's zip code using standard Priority Mail, then compare this rate to the cost of the Flat Rate Priority Shipping to see which is cheaper.
  • Priority Mail boxes can only be used for shipping items priority through the US Postal Service. When ordering these boxes the US Postal website will warn you it is a violation of US Postal laws to use them for anything else.
