plain white 5x7" envelope questions

[nancyfrankiejoey]

I am SO confused!!  I just need to ship a small envelope witih a memory card, it weighs 0.6oz. I thought i could put it in a regular white envelope  5x7" and put 2 stamps on it and just mail it!   It is going from Illinois to California but then I saw there was an option for "Ebay Standard Envelope" for 64 cents. Is that the option I should be PRINTING instead of mailing it with 2 stamps (which would NOT have any tracking on it}???  I am not sure how to mail it and the information is confusing to me. Thanks of any assistance!

Depends on the value of the item and how fast you want item to get to the buyer.

I haven't lost anything yet last year or this year using a .68 stamp with no tracking.

You will need a thin cardboard inside the envelope...like a greeting card.

Plus you need a printer, ink, paper and special envelope to put shipping label on it...and maybe tape.

No tracking items are being received 4-5 days by my buyers.

I do use tracking for expensive items over 20 bucks...and never know when those items get delivered.

Always better to use EBAY shipping (with tracking).   Otherwise, customer can claim "did not receive item" and you will be forced to refund their money.

Memory cards are not among the items which qualify to be sent with the eBay Standard Envelope -- please do not try to use that option.

Either use a regular #6 or #10 Plain white envelope with a couple First Class stamps (no tracking), or you can ship in a thicker small mailer envelope, at USPS Ground Advantage, which includes tracking and free insurance up to $100.00
