Always stand up behind your booth and greet customers as they approach. Many craft sellers suggest bringing a bar stool to sit on/or rather lean back on if your booth is busy, so it's easier for you to greet buyers as they approach.

Pepper, I always use First Class when shipping my items on Etsy which are jewelry and they usually will fit in the smallest size bubble mailers. I believe it costs $1.22 right now to ship an ounce in a bubble mailer within the US First Class. If you don't have time to go to the post office and are sure of the weight at home you can use PayPal shipping labels. They charge about 0.19 extra than what you would pay at the post office, but the buyer gets confirmation that you printed the label via e-mail. If you plan on shipping a lot, you might want to try buying bubble mailers in bulk on eBay. That's how I roll. lol
I just looked at other shops from the US and how they priced shipping for similar sized items. International shipping is a little harder to determine from the US, so at times its overestimated. If the final shipping costs are way off (like by at least a dollar) I refund the money back to the buyer's PayPal account with a message stating why. Don't forget to set how much you want an item to ship if it's purchased with another item. Don't forget to factor in the price of your packaging with the shipping, too, because sometimes bubble mailers can be a little pricey. I buy mine in packs of 30 or 40 off of eBay. I hope that helped! Just PM me if something didn't make sense!
