Can't ship stickers in standard envelope??

[lloopin]

Recently started selling stickers and thought I'd be able to ship them for 50 cents. I'm making almost nothing on my sticker sales because I have to ship them First Class. Can I not use the standard envelope for stickers or is there a different category that allows it? I'm using the Stickers and Decals category at the moment.

No sticker category qualifies for eBay Standard Envelope service. It's currently limited to stamps, coins, post cards and trading cards.

You can ship untracked in a PWE with a postage stamp. You won't be protected against item not received claims.

As wastingtime explained, you can use a Plain White Envelope.  There are so many sellers of stickers and other low-value items who use PWE's and stay on eBay for years, I suspect that this is a category with a low rate of fake "Not received" claims.

But what shipping category do we choose when shipping. I dont see a plain white envelope option listed in the sell listing. I marked the package as i dont know the dimensions and marked it as first class and planned to just get the buyers address and ship with a stamp. Will this work ok, or am i missing another shipping category? Thanks

Shipping in a plain white envelope is just printing out the address and sticking a postage stamp on it. Or if you have an account like Stamps or similar, you can print a postage on the envelope. 

Besides the stamps, coins, post cards and trading cards categories, the shipping options you see on eBay all have tracking. 

Plain white envelope mail (outside of the stamps, coins, post cards and trading cards categories) don't have tracking.

Why not include vintage collection stickers and stationary items with low weight?
