GBA Games should go in a box unless cart only.
Bubble Envelopes work greate for GC/PS2/XBX Games.
I buy the big ones, 9x12, put the game in sideways and fold the rest over, for extra padding.
Always use Delivery Confirmation or you will get burned.

QFT. Absolutely. Especially Delivery Confirmation. It helps you from getting burned almost all of the time and allows you and the Buyer to do a bit of tracking.
Also, if you're going the USPS route, consider their small Priority Mail boxes if you're going to ship Priority. They offer enough room for a small number of console carts or a few DVD cases. The only problem is that you will want to put in something else to act as padding. Personally, as a cost-effective way, I use cumpled paper towels myself. Never had a problem in doing so and it prevented anything from shifting inside the box.

I use the plastic shopping bags from the grocery store.
I've found customers are most happy when I ship priority as well.
Don't gouge too much on the shipping. I charge a $1.00 handling fee over cost for most items with no complaints. If you charge $8 to ship a game, you may get fewer bids.

i knew a dude who got those big 9 x 12 and used thos 2/3 day boxes.... Used to stick the game into the box and then stick the box inside the 9x12 envlope... i told them if the post office ever found out they would be pissed..
that is about the only way to ship GBA gameboy games with a box without them getting crushed if your looking at first class...
i was lucky enough to get those 6 pack of GBA cases off ebgames for like 50 cents per pack... Everytime i sell a GBA game only i stick them in a plastic box ...and ship it.
remember postage went up
i think DC went up 10 cents or 5 cents
Insurance went up 5-10 cents
and
2/3 day mail went up 20 cents
