Here's what I sometimes do when I ran out of new bubble padded envelopes.
With top loaders inside
If anyone here dis-agree with this please let me know. I just think that if we all do this we can save heaps of money alltogether.
I charge $2.50 for the first card on my ebay listing due to the fact that if I only charge $2.00 and the buyer pays by Paypal for a 99 cents card, I'll be losing money. Plus I also spend time in listing and packaging and going to the post office. A lot of buyers doesn't even consider that the seller spend all this time for them...
When I buy cards, I always look at the postage fee. If I think that the postage is a bit too much, I'll stay away from it. But If I really want the card badly, I will bid even if the postage is $10 for 1 card. It really depends on how much you want a particular card.
Mavs. I'm with you with this seller. He told you a lie when he said he only did when sending 1 card. He sent me at least 3 cards, and all were in an envelope, penny sleeves, cardboard backing and bubble wrap on front. Did have combined postage, and re-read his auction, and realised it didn't state mailed in bubble envelope.
