Hello, just heard about the new eBay standard envelope shipping for trading cards. Does anybody know how much it will cost? When will it be available? And if anybody has used it already? Thanks for your time.

I haven't seen any updates to the original announcement which said "in January" and "under $1".

It seems to be live now. I see it as an option on new and/or revise listings. There is some guidance posted as well

Great, thanks for that link. The packaging requirements on that page do not exclude rigid mailers, as the bulleted list cited elsewhere (apparently derived from the shipping label purchase page) does. And the linked page indicates that sellers can mail "no more than 15 raw cards per package per envelope (or up to 2 trading cards with top loaders)" which further implies that a rigid envelope is acceptable if it falls within the other limits (e.g., thickness and other dimensions, weight, etc.).
