There are numerous options - USPS, UPS, Fedex, DHL .. etc. The problem with all 
these services is that if you only ship a small quantity of items, you pay a 
fairly large amount in shipping fees.

What is worth doing is registering for an account on Parcels 2 Go.

http://www.parcel2go.com/

which is basically a price comparison website which compares prices of different 
couriers.

After entering the weight and dimensions, you then get you loads of quotes 
displayed. It's much like comparing car insurance online. You can then pick one 
of the quotes.

Ask the buyer if he wants the item insured during transit. The default amount of 
insurance on couriers can be quite low (under $100), but adding insurance can be 
quite expensive.

Be very weary of making sure you have received payment before sending an item. I 
have someone trying to scam me just now, which I am playing along with. He 
*claims* to be a Canadian ham, but is I believe a scammer in the North of England.
