Mostly had good experiences selling on eBay. 

I have found the best way to ship a lot of items is in cardboard tubes. Not the
type you get at the Post Office. Sheet floor vinyl, marmoleum, linoleum etc
comes on sturdy cardboard tubes, often with a wall thickness of 10 or 12 mm (arf
an inch). I have a stock of these tubes I salvaged out of a skip on a building
site. Diameters are between 100 and 250mm (4 to 10 inch). I plug each end with
an MDF insert. By the time the item is bubble wrapped and slipped into the tube,
MDF ends held in place with duct tape, you end up with a near indestructible
post office employee proof tube.
