I have been selling mostly ball cards. I am starting to sell books. What should I do - if anyrhing - to change shipping charges - media for books vs ground advantage for cards??? I have a flat rate shipping for cards of 3.63 for no matter how many cards. Obviously that would not do for, say, 3 or 4 books - or even 1 maybe. Anyway I need some help from one with experience.

USPS Media rate is $3.92 for the up to 1 pound.
Just change your shipping from USPS Ground Advantage to USPS Media.
And, if the trading cards which you are selling are inexpensive (less than $20.00), those can be sipped using the eBay Standard Envelope (ESE), which costs you only 63 cents, instead of $3.63, which you are currently charging.
Check out the eBay site for more information about the ESE.

IMHO your books listings should be set up with calculated shipping based on the package weight.
Or since it's Media Mail, you could enter a flat price but then you'd have to look up the price for each 1-pound weight increment, and you'd have to edit those flat prices whenever USPS raises their rates.

Do you know the incremental rate per pound for media mail?
