      @IFSportsCards  ปีที่แล้ว

      @@iLightSoundGeometry yes, it will go through a roller. If you charged less than $1.50 for shipping and the card is less than $20, you can put the card in a toploader (with painters tape on top) and ship it in an envelope with 1 stamp. I've done this many times and had no problems, but accidents do occur and there is no way to track your card this way.

    I practice almost everything in your method however, I place the label on the other side, this way you are sealing the envelope or bubble mailer flap that you use to close it. I wrap the top piece of tape over each edge about a 1/2 inch to close the opening.

    I’ve been selling cards on eBay for about a year now. I use eBay standard for every order under $20. I use semi ridgids (much cheaper option generally), roll it up in a piece of paper, and stick it in the envelope. NEVER. USE. SCOTCH TAPE! I learned my lesson early on with a couple neutral reviews.

    • @mauison
      @mauison 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've recently started selling TCG cards through eBay and I use basically the same method. I use top-loaders, piece of green Frog Tape at the top, rolled in a piece of paper, tape that to the inside of two pieces of cardboard I cut from cereal boxes, then put that in the envelope. It costs an extra 20 cents because of the cardboard, but still cheap enough. I also don't sell anything less than $3.99 because it's not worth my time after fees and the shipping cost.

    • @IFSportsCards
      @IFSportsCards  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are right. The .30 cent per transaction fee is a killer on Ebay for selling cheap singles! Sounds like you guys are practicing safe shipping!

    This is waaaaay overkill, especially for a 5 dollar card. Toploader, teambag. Done.
    The toploader is more than enough rigidity and the team bag will cover from water damage while also doing the work of the blue tape you used but better since it's not sticky. I've sent hundreds of cards like this, never heard a complaint 🔆

  • @mikewestfall9950
    @mikewestfall9950 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don't use any kind of tape on a top loader. I've see way too many cards damaged because of the tape pinching the card. A tight team bag does the trick almost every time. I'm only saying this because if you for some reason want to send the card in for grading, even with the naked eye you may not see the dent pinching will make. way riskier with the tape then without.

    @Budsandsuds75 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is total overkill for a $5 card but for $100+ card perfect. Painters tape is important but no need to protect the toploader with extra cards. A piece of paper wrap for pwe is plenty but also shipping PWE through Ebay has been a nightmare for me. Don't reuse bubble envelopes, You can reuse bubble wrap but not envelopes. Walmart has envelopes for cheap enough to add to shipping cost. Never knew about Paypal ship seems but it seems to be the same rates as Ebay though, It makes sense since that's where it originated.

    Thx u for the valuable intel Brother very much appreciated
    I just started my card online selling and also got it registered as a LLC at first I didn’t till sales really picked up
    I’m averaging 140-160 cards a week
    Mainly selling cards under $5
    Watching this video will literally save me 40 to 50% on shipping
    Wasting money on top loaders expensive ebay shipping
    I was buying card shields which work out to around a buck a pop
    U can fit 5 cards in penny sleeves in there
    Again thx u for the intel
    God bless you
    If u have any tips on what other price point cards i should get into please let me know
    Again right now mainly buying $1 cards selling them for minimum $3.50 to $6.00 with free shipping
    Shipping costs me only like $0.63 to sometimes $1.11
    U think I should charge the seller the shipping or give them free shipping
    I average $ minimum $2.00 to $4.00 profit per card
    I was gonna start buying box cards and selling singles or u think i should stick with the dollar cards
    I buy from Card shows ebay Amazon & offerup
    Please 🙏🏽 if u can guide me
    I wanna get into a higher price card market
    And another problem I have is I don’t know shit about Baseball Pokémon
