    Im planning on starting to sell corals online as soon as I know exactly how to package and ship them?
    Also do most people get their money through paypal?

    Post everything you know about shipping please...Im paranoid of shipping a coral and the buyer gets it dead even though ive never sold online.

    1. Paypal is probably the best way to get payments as far as i know.
    2. packaging: small cardboard box packed with air pads all around. coral needs to be dbl bagged, dont put too much water in bag. next day shipping. and a hot or cold pack depending on the destination or departure place.
    edit: shipping should not take more then 24 from time shipped to time arrived and in customers hands.
