    I'm selling a few Transformers on eBay, and I was wondering if I could get a few tips on how to pack them safely. I'm selling an ROTF Voyager Ironhide, and the box I have fits around the sides pretty well, but the top is about 2-3 inches taller. Should I wrap the entire box up with bubble wrap, or cushion the box with those puffy airbags that you usually get from Amazon? I don't want it to get banged around.

    Cushion inside with those amazon airbags thingy or bubble wrapped the toy inside the box.

    Either way it works.

    Wrap the figure up a couple times with bubble wrap and get a box that's a good size for the figure. You want the box to be big enough that the figure doesn't get crushed if the box does but not to big were the item is banging around to much in the box.
