Shipping Pokemon cards - help!
Hey guys, I'm an experienced seller on Ebay but just recently opened this little shop with a friend to sell off Pokemon cards. Shipping has become an absolute nightmare for us and we'd love some feedback.
So far on an average sale, we have to pay $3.50 per shipping item (using USPS first class on an item weighing barely 2oz) and Ebay takes another 27% of our sale. Selling in Ebay is costing us money instead of making us money.
We want to provide tracking to our customers as well as correct packaging, are there any other ways to ship cheaper with tracking?
Thank you!

·2 years agoSingle cards, over $20 - Ground advantage and yes it costs
under $20 - ESE but tracking is poor and don't use top loaders, the package must bend around a 10" drum
Yeah on a low value shipment the fixed $0.40 fee on top of the variable FvF pushes the ebay cost really high. No way around that other than to build it in to your price or just don't sell low value stuff.

·4 years agoEbay has a special program for shipping Trading Cards valued at $20 or less or combines orders up to $50.
They actually made a lot of announcements about it and it has been widely discussed here and everywhere people discuss cards.
