"Hello, my name is Eric White and today we're going to talk about how to ship on eBay products on media mail. This is a controversial subject in that you're not supposed to ship eBay auction items by media mail. It's not the intention of media mail. Media mail has a seventy pound limit. It's meant for large numbers of publications, books, magazines, newspapers, things like that. There can't be any kind of advertising materials included in, in a media mail, and another problem, people will advertise to ship standard United States Postal Service, charge their customers for that, and then send it by media mail, which is much slower than your standard shipping and violate, pretty much breaks the law. You could be subject to fines and or imprisonment for falsifying documents and shipping things illegally by media mail, so just don't do it. Just say no."
