I never used a paid place to buy boxes and supplies. I have a neighbor who works for a large manufacture site. She brings me 4 feet tall bags full of packaging peanuts and bubble wrap when I need it. Ask your neighbors, friends to keep supplies for you from their shipping departments.
Look around there are plenty of places in your town to get free packaging material. After 9-10pm Walmart employers are stocking shelves, can get good boxes unmarked.
Check local party stories or other small retails. Let them know you are looking for boxes and packaging items and have them save them for you or call you when ready to pick up.
Hospitals are also another good place to get shipping material.
Recycling is better then paying for it.

Link your eBay Store to a Domain Name
Linking your eBay store is very easy to create it as a domain name.
Make sure when forwarding your eBay store link that you use either your eBay id or eBay store name to register it with a domain name. Best to check to make sure the name is available.
Find a domain company, like GoDaddy, or NetFirms. You must register the domain with a registrar that allows domain name forwarding. With domain forwarding, customers will be redirected to your eBay store when they type in your domain.
Purchasing a domain name are reasonable cost around $7.99 for one year. Once you have registered your domain name, then log into your Control Panel.
Once in your Control panel find "Domain Name" or the domain forwarding options in your dashboard.
Copy and paste your eBay store link in the forwarding URL section. Most will have a section to "Mask". Masking your URL means when one clicks on your URL domain name link you can have it direct to your eBay store or forwarding with masking secures that your domain name remains in a visitor's browser's address bar when the visitor is being redirected.
Then save your settings in your domain control panel. This may take minutes to hours for it to link together.
This is a nice feature when having an eBay store so you do not have to show your full eBay store link. This makes your eBay store with a more professional look with it showing as a url.
