anything under 70lbs can go threw the USPS here http://www.usps.com/tools/calculatepostage/welcome.htm?from=home_header&page=calculatepostage
The motor is over 70lbs so UPS is prob best for that .http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/index.html?WT.svl=PriNav

Weigh your item,price it for the farthest away,CA? and you should be safe. I just brought in 4 350X crate motors from CA. They are 111 lbs,packaged VERY WELL. 94 ? before boxed,I believe. When it's ALL said and done,Ebay fees,ppal fees,time answering emails,dealing w jerkoffs,,let us know how you made out! I'm actually being serious,let us know if it was worth it,it very well may be! Good luck!

add 10% to 15% to the shipping cost. The reason for this is that ebay now charges FVF on shipping cost as well ( 8 - 9% ). Then add in the 5% or so that paypal takes and you see why I don't sell on ebay now. FYI, ebay ownes Paypal so yea, double dipping for fees.
