Question : Food scale vs shipping scale?
What is the difference between a food scale and a shipping scale? Don’t they basically do the same thing…weigh an item? Couldn’t I use a food scale as a shipping scale? The reason I ask is because I don’t wanna have to purchase a shipping scale to sell a few items on Ebay! Doesn’t each scale serve the same purpose or is there a difference?

Food scales are more accurate, and break the weight down to a closer fraction or decimal.
