Hello to all, I do ebay full time. My beand new scale will show different reading for the exact same item. It does not show a big difference, but it does show a difference. If I have intem I weigh it and the scale reads 11.9 oz, the second reading might say 12.2 or 11.6. Is this a big deal for shipping purposes. If it draws the line between paying an extra ounce, will I get in trouble for this, or does the post office even weigh the prepaid items. Please help me with this. I could just pay for the extra ounce, but when you mail as much as I do, that could quickly add up.

Thanks
 
I was told to always err on the side of it weighing a bit more. I learned this the hard way, when some of my items were returned due to "insufficient postage", and I had irate customers (I am an eBay seller, too).
