So im just starting out selling yugioh cards and have a few questions regarding shipping. If I sell a single card what is the best option to ship it, ordinary envelope or bubble mailer? Are the shipping labels only used on the bubble mailer and not the envelope? If you ship in an envelope do you write recipients address and your own normally? Is the tracking feature only available on packages with shipping labels? How will it be verified that the customer received the order if there is no tracking? Sorry very new to this any tips are welcome, thank you.

If you use an ordinary envelope, you will have no tracking proof of delivery..while I dont know the price of these cards, you are better off using a bubble envelope, just make sure it is at least /4" thick so you can use First Class postage label with tracking,you can wrap the card in bubble wrap to do this..

Depends on whether you want tracking, which in turn depends on whether you want Top Rated Seller status and/or protection against fake 'Item not received" (INR) claims.
Are the shipping labels only used on the bubble mailer and not the envelope?
eBay shipping labels can only be used on First Class packages; prices start at $2.61 for a package up to 4 ounces. Cards in an envelope is not a package, unless it's rigid and also over 1/4 inch thick.
If you ship in an envelope do you write recipients address and your own normally?
Yes.
Is the tracking feature only available on packages with shipping labels?
USPS provides tracking for all packages, both online labels as well as retail postage purchased over-the-counter at the Post Office. But only for packages, not for letters or for flats (AKA Large envelopes).
How will it be verified that the customer received the order if there is no tracking?
Simply not possible.
