How many are you shipping at a time?
Are you selling LPs, thus meaning you are selling just one or two at a time, or are you shipping your entire collection?
If your are only shipping a couple at a time, here is a link to the type of boxes that most of the LPs that I buy on Ebay come packaged in.
Cardboard boxes
If you are shipping large quantities of LPs, I would highly recommend that you double box them with lots of padding, (and pack them tight), to minimize the risk of damage. (LPs are pretty heavy in bulk form, like books are, so make sure you use sturdy, heavy duty boxes.)
As far as shipping methods are concerned, I've had really good luck in recieving LPs via USPS Media mail, which is the cheapest (and slowest) method available. (I have had a couple of bad experiences, but that was due to poorly packaged LPs, (i.e a seller just slapping a couple of pieces of cardboard on both sides of the LP and shoving it into a mailing envelope.) If a record is truly something special to me, I will pay the extra money and request priority mail from the USPS. (I've never had a problem with their priority mail service.)
Good Luck, and remember, that I am basing my recommendations on my experiences as a buyer of single LPs, and not as a seller. (So I don't ship LPs, nor do I have experience in bulk shippings.)
