I Invested in a "Photo Box" with 2- LED strips, 5 interchangeable background colors, compact folds to size of normal thin 2 pocket plastic school folder with cloth carrying case. Simply Genius! And for Less than $20 on eBay, US ship. U can even p/u 1 w/ adjustable LED 4 few bucks more, why not? Would've help my OCD/ADHD azz, but U don't needed for shooting cards. I also bought a nice slick compact tripod 4 about $15 w/ remote & BAM! U just got yourself a Pro cardboard shooting mobile studio plus.
I forgot to mention this in the video that if the package weighs less than one ounce it is 51 cents, if it is between 1-2oz it is 71 cents, and if it is between 2-3oz it is 91 cents. Make sure you select the right option for the cheapest shipping! I forgot in the video and paid more than I needed to. Have fun selling guys!
Flying Dutchmen Cards when you go to print your label on the top left it asks for the weight. Change it to 1 Oz. If you are shipping 2 regular cards in the same loader push it to 2 Oz. I always select the 2 Oz & I add 4 cents when I drop them off so they go non machinable. The cards are safer going that way.
Sold 1000s of cards with Ebay Standard Envelope: Card into a penny sleeve, into a top loader, taped on the top, wrapped in a 1/2 piece of printer paper, into an envelope. Tape, label and ship. Takes 20 seconds to do and no issues to date. No need for a team bag or extra cards.
Where do you ship them from? I went to USPS to ask them if I can drop some cards off and they’re saying the thermal printed labels arent valid and I’d have to buy the stuff through them.. idk I was very confused
@@MannyTreI just made my first sales and I’m wondering the same thing. Do I just pack it and throw it in the “outgoing box” or go and deal with USPS? I can’t get the correct answer.
@@VegasSharp thanks for the response. I was able to get some info from another seller and he said that “as long as it has a USPS label” then I should be good.
Mailed out my first card today. More than $20, but still used the best practices you go over in this video. Thanks for putting it out there. It was very helpful.
Been listing cards for over a year now and my mind is already blown... how did I not think to do the foam board cut out to get rid of glare!?!! Good work... Heres a new subscriber
I was the same way for a very long time until I figured this out as well haha. I am glad that it was helpful! Thanks for the support and the subscription!
I did this and the buyer still selected media mail some how. Wasn’t sure if you could help since you’ve been listing cards for awhile. I’ve only sold the one so far
Great thorough video. Only thing I would add (not sure if you normally do) is that when I take pictures of the card(s) I crop out most of the background so the card is up close. This way if the buyer clicks on the picture they get a REALLY big picture of the card to see the corners/gloss etc. I sometimes change the backdrop so it's not a white bordered card on a white backdrop. If someone uses scotch tape for the top loader put a smaller second piece facing the other way in the middle of the longer piece so if the card slides out of the top loader it won't stick on the tape. Continued success.
Great Video. The board trick for reducing glare was a great tip. A couple of tips for you if you arent doing it by now. 1. Get a label printer and some 4x6 labels. 2. Get rigid mailers that are 5x7. You won't have to use the extra cards in the pack and overall your packing time will be reduced.
@@halllow I've shipped hundreds of cards using the eBay branded rigid mailers and the standard envelope service without any complaints or issues. I was paranoid about them being too rigid as well, but after writing to eBay about them specifically and being assured they were made specifically for the standard envelope service, I gave it a shot and haven't looked back since. As long as it stays below that 1/4 inch mark there doesn't seem to be an issue.
Thanks man, that is great to hear! The sports card hobby is awesome, so welcome! I have an instagram called @scottie_b_cards feel free to reach out to me on there if you have any questions.
Thank you for putting this rundown together! I just started selling cards on ebay, and I thought shipping would be a breeze (until the Post Office told me that my standard envelope was too rigid). This video was extremely helpful!
Thanks a lot! Been wondering how to ship cards via eBay without the $4 price tag of shipping 1st class, made the mistake of putting stamps on bubble mailer, but this has helped me a lot thanks!!
Man you have no idea how much this vid has helped me! I was struggling massively to get sales. Ever since I saw this vid, my sales have more than doubled within a months time. Thank you so much. This vid was really helpful
@@SoulFireCandlesNYC I appreciate your reply. The shipping says eBay standard envelope but then when I go to print label it says media mail and charging me over $2. Hopefully I can foggier it out. Thanks again
@@SoulFireCandlesNYC good to know! I was hoping it’s be my saving grace too. I just need to figure out a way to contact eBay and figure it out. Really appreciate your help, thanks
I’ve sold thousands of Yugioh cards on eBay and tcg, and the best way I’ve found for the low end stuff is to sleeve the card, put it in upside down on the toploader and tape it shut with scotch tape. That way the card can’t slide and hit the tape. Then I tape the toploader to the inside (address side) of a smaller envelope (about 2/3 the side of a regular envelope) No team bag, no paper, super easy.
You can also wrap your card up tight in the left over piece of paper you have after you cut your label out. Been doing it that way for over 2 yrs & haven’t had an issue yet with a card being damaged. You can also select the 2 oz & add a 4 cent stamp at the PO & the card will go non machinable which honestly more safe for the item
Scottie, MOST EXCELLENT video. Your step by step process Is amazing, super simple & PRICELESS in all the tips you offered here. Thanks alot man and I wish you much more success at all you do☺👍 God bless
Good thing I came across this video just bought a whole album of 87 Fleer for 25 cents at my daughter thrift store after keeping a close eye on the sales they do every week. Now it's time to load my eBay store and sell sell sell lol 🤣 great video thank you for the information amigo stay safe 🍺🍺🍺🍺
@@scottiebcards2354 thank you I'm sure they will sell slowly but surely at least I hope lol has a pete rose,Nolan Ryan,two reggie jackson and so on and they look clean no bends on corners so we shall see how it goes lol
I love the hole in the board trick for the camera! One recommendation I have is to place a piece of paper in between the top of the top loader and the painters tape. The card may slide and you don’t want glue on the top edge of the card.
Scottie it looks like you shorted yourself my man. Your package only weighed 1oz but you selected the 3oz. 91 cent option. On the package dimensions section you can select the weight from 1-3oz. 1oz cost 51 cents, 2oz, 71 cents, 3oz is 91 cents. You can ship your way all day for 51cents, and make more profit 👍🏾. Great vid
You can do 51 cents but that’s not non machinable..Better to send them that way. Just my opinion. I’ve sent 1000’s that way & haven’t had but 1 issue. I am glad that eBay finally has done this. Sending cards worth a buck maybe a buck 50 with 3.50 shipping is ridiculous. On top of that eBay charges a fee on shipping chargers as well
Thanks for sharing! I will certainly leverage this new program as shipping with tracking is big and normal 1st class in a bubble mailer is nearly $3 this will be the way to go for sure for sub $20 cards
I used to sell a lot of cards in a pwe this is a great asset for selling lower end cards and obviously saves money opposed to 1st class. I rarely had issues without the tracking but some would try to take advantage and the seller was pretty much S.O.L. Great video thank you.
FYI, not mentioned in the video is that the Ebay Standard Envelope service includes insurance at no additional cost. The two times I have needed the insurance it paid within just a few days no questions asked.
Thank you for sharing this. It really helps me as a seller to save money on lower priced sales. I was about to pay more for first class mail by mistake. The ebay app doesn't give you the ebay standard envelope option when printing the shipping label, but if you go to the website you're given the option to choose the under $1 shipping option.
When I ship in a PWE. I go to the Dollar Tree and buy a box of thank you cards. I think the box comes with 15 cards for a $1.00. It's a little more rigid. Plus it looks nice.
I've tried this and they sent it back to me. The combination of a trading card + 2 layers of cardstock is too rigid, even without a toploader or card saver. It sounds like really good advice but don't do this.
don't use tape at all if you're using a team bag. nice to see the label and process. i've heard negative about this method so far, but it looks like it should work good for most of us.
thanks so much. i just liked and subscribed. I sell ALOT of pokemon cards and it was hard to sell the cards valued at 1-5 dollars bc the shipping was $4. Cant wait to see more content from your channel
I completely agree. My nephew is 8 and he only makes a few dollars a week in chores and when he sees a 4 dollar card he gets excited until you tell him it is actually 8 dollars with shipping. This will help a lot of people! Thanks for the subscription. I appreciate it!
@@scottiebcards2354 does your nephew collect pokemon? id be more than happy to mail you or him some cards as a thank you for the helpfull video. also i got 2003 mlb showdown cards that i can mail you that i dont want nothing crazy but i got a bunch and im a hockey guy so i dont know anything about baseball
When I use painters tape to close in the toploader, I make the tape slightly longer and add a little "tab"at the end to make removal VERY easy without ever using fingernails. So you can pinch to remove.
Be careful when selecting the Sell One Like This option. I've setup up quite a few Pokemon card listings doing this and sometimes I notice incorrect information like a different language or a different character.
They do this on purpose. Items listed with correct info doesn't get to the top of the search. For some ungodly reason, eBay prioritizes people who scum the system.
Thanks for this video! I’ve been wanting to start selling on eBay for months but haven’t yet due to my complete ignorance/ anxiety of the whole process. I really appreciate that you showed the whole process from start to finish. My question is does this white envelope rule pertain to sports cards only or all trading cards? Bc now this is another layer I have to think about 😅
I don't see anything that says the envelope must be white. While I have only used white, I don't believe that is true. I've read the requirements. No mention of white. ???
Great vid, thanks. Now, can you explain how people actually make profits off of .99 cards and all of the extra shipping materials being used… envelopes, tape, printer ink, printer paper, top loader sleeves, team bags, etc…. It seems hardly worth a persons time
As someone who maintains the machines that processes letter mail I highly recommend following your instructions to add those extra layers of protection. If anyone is curious. Search for a video of a DBCS machine. Great video.
Super helpful! So you don't need a label maker, just using a regular printer? You can just cut it out and tape it on? Thats amazing, I was thinking of getting a label maker today actually but would love this
Good clean video. I'm still expecting to lose my TRS status because cards aren't scanned at the post office where they are dropped. I will raise hell if that happens, and pretend ebay actually cares... One other piece of advice--bigger picture! Fill up that screen. Crop it or shoot it with zoom. Also, thermal label printers work, I use my Dymo XL. No cutting/taping.
Great feedback! Thanks for the tips and I also hope that it doesn't affect our top rated seller status. I like to think eBay is smarter than that but you never know! Apprecaite the support!
Hey just have a question kind of new seller on eBay been doing it for the past 8 months I just went into the post office today and after sending my cards through eBay standard envelope since I started and they usually accept it but today they said that they would except it because there machines have a part to where it Bends and if it’s not paper that can bend them the people who process it won’t ship it they just told me that today don’t know if that’s a new policy but I went to 3 of them and they said the same thing
Love the Vortex shirt! Big fan of my Razor HD! Very helpful video. I’ve been selling on eBay for 20 years and just came into some sports cards but I want to try to get rid of on there. Wasn’t sure how to sell them. Do you ship every single card you sell in a hard plastic top loader? Wouldn’t that get expensive? Again great video and thanks for the info!
Scottie really great video as usual because u have great content but i have to vent about something and i hope to get feedback from you and collectors. I ship football cards via this method for over a year now. It is a hobby for me. Whatever i do not collect i sell on ebay. There is always a person usually every week saying they did NOT receive the card because they know the tracking does not work more then 50/50. I take them to the post office myself. Ebay tracking DOES NOT WORK consistently. Example my last 6 purchases i received them all and ebay tracking says 3 r still at the sellers post office. Tracking does not always get updated because to usps it is just another piece of mail. It is NEVER scanned so stracking is never updated. Maybe i am a cheap skate LOL but it ruins my day when i know a card was shipped and a guy wants a free card and a full refund. So sick and tired of fighting with ebay because they know the tracking is a joke. Scottie you love baseball so how do u handle this? Does it drive you crazy or do u just eat the loss almost every week and give a person a free card and refund?????????????? I can not be the only one this is happening too. Please comment and thanks in advance.
Great video! Getting ready to try the black foam sheet. If it works as good as it looks, you are a GENUIS! I have struggled for 2 years on ebay trying to photograph without the glare on my cards. My question Scottie, On these ebay standard envelope, does it actually show tracking for my customers and myself? I've been told that it is just a barcode. Can my customers just go to ebay and track their card like with $5.25 shipping?
I'm actually surprised Scottie B ships in a PWE, I have never and won't ever ship in a PWE. I use the rigid cardboard 6x4's and a simi-rigid top load to ship my cheaper cards and still come in under 3oz. The cut out for the pics was very useful and I'll be giving that a try.
I just came across this video after selling singles that I dont need for complete sets for over a year now. I know eBay says no cardboard for these labels, I have had no complaints or returns with using 6x9 photo mailers and the trading card labels. Just thought I would share.
My mind is still blown 🤯 on the black cutout for the pictures. Thank you for that tip that I didn't even know that I needed. 👊
Anytime Lawrence! I work in Marketing and one of our designers showed me that trick. He learned it in art school and I was equally mind blown 😂.
@@wink853 what's the best way to light your cards on fire when you realize they're worth crap???

Good! I am glad to hear that it helped. I appreciate you watching and I hope you can make some money with this shipping method!
Awesome video! Might be a year old but best video on TH-cam ive seen so far! New subscriber here.
Such a helpful video! Thank you and straight to the point. I appreciate you greatly for this!
don't use tape at all if you're using a team bag. nice to see the label and process. i've heard negative about this method so far, but it looks like it should work good for most of us.
Thank you for doing the Lord’s work!! 👍👍
Thanks for showing the adresses like this in the video.
I needed to hear that phone-reflection trick 😬
thanks so much. i just liked and subscribed. I sell ALOT of pokemon cards and it was hard to sell the cards valued at 1-5 dollars bc the shipping was $4. Cant wait to see more content from your channel
I completely agree. My nephew is 8 and he only makes a few dollars a week in chores and when he sees a 4 dollar card he gets excited until you tell him it is actually 8 dollars with shipping. This will help a lot of people! Thanks for the subscription. I appreciate it!
@@scottiebcards2354 does your nephew collect pokemon? id be more than happy to mail you or him some cards as a thank you for the helpfull video. also i got 2003 mlb showdown cards that i can mail you that i dont want nothing crazy but i got a bunch and im a hockey guy so i dont know anything about baseball
Best video for shipping cards!! Thank you
Thank you for doing this. I was wondering how to print those labels. I have a bunch of $1-$5 cards I want to list.
This is a great idea. I’ve never had a letter arrive bent in half so I think it would be great to ship cards and save money.
Great information and good tutorial. Awesome step by step instructions. Thanks for the video
When I use painters tape to close in the toploader, I make the tape slightly longer and add a little "tab"at the end to make removal VERY easy without ever using fingernails. So you can pinch to remove.
Thanks 🙏 great video !! I just started last year and sold my first cards last month! 🤑🤑🤑
Awesome! Congrats man. Welcome to the hobby and I hope this method can help you make a bunch of money. Thanks for wathcing!!
Loved this video! Concise and super helpful for us rookies!
Thank you for posting this, very detailed and easy to follow, great video 👍👍
Great! I am glad that it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video! Very informative, I’ve only sent via bubble mailers before
Be careful when selecting the Sell One Like This option. I've setup up quite a few Pokemon card listings doing this and sometimes I notice incorrect information like a different language or a different character.
For sure. That is a great point. It is very important to review each listing to make sure these errors can be avoided. Thanks for the tip!
Good advice, just learned this the hard way yesterday
They do this on purpose. Items listed with correct info doesn't get to the top of the search. For some ungodly reason, eBay prioritizes people who scum the system.
Awesome video thank you very much I had no idea there was so much involved
Great video! I like the idea for that cut for the camera. That’s a great idea!
Thanks for this video! I’ve been wanting to start selling on eBay for months but haven’t yet due to my complete ignorance/ anxiety of the whole process. I really appreciate that you showed the whole process from start to finish. My question is does this white envelope rule pertain to sports cards only or all trading cards? Bc now this is another layer I have to think about 😅
All trading cards
I don't see anything that says the envelope must be white. While I have only used white, I don't believe that is true. I've read the requirements. No mention of white. ???
Any chance you guys could show how to pack a card for international shipping and what's the best service to use on ebay? this was super helpful!!
Great video, thanks for the clarity Scottie!
Great vid, thanks. Now, can you explain how people actually make profits off of .99 cards and all of the extra shipping materials being used… envelopes, tape, printer ink, printer paper, top loader sleeves, team bags, etc…. It seems hardly worth a persons time
One thing you could do is print off the packing slip and use it the same way as the plain white sheet of paper
Great idea!
Thank you for this video. I mean yo sell my husbands collection of trading cards but don’t know what to do. This is very helpful.
Great! I am glad that it is helpful! Let us know if you have any questions along the way.
I sell my hubbies too! It’s been a fun hobby for me and a nice way to make some money back.
As someone who maintains the machines that processes letter mail I highly recommend following your instructions to add those extra layers of protection. If anyone is curious. Search for a video of a DBCS machine. Great video.
Can i just drop these in the mail to be mailed or do i need to go to the post worker?
Super helpful! So you don't need a label maker, just using a regular printer? You can just cut it out and tape it on? Thats amazing, I was thinking of getting a label maker today actually but would love this
Get a laser printer. You'll save a bunch of money. Great video!
Good clean video. I'm still expecting to lose my TRS status because cards aren't scanned at the post office where they are dropped. I will raise hell if that happens, and pretend ebay actually cares... One other piece of advice--bigger picture! Fill up that screen. Crop it or shoot it with zoom. Also, thermal label printers work, I use my Dymo XL. No cutting/taping.
Great feedback! Thanks for the tips and I also hope that it doesn't affect our top rated seller status. I like to think eBay is smarter than that but you never know! Apprecaite the support!
Thanks for the foamboard idea! 😎
awesome video! will be immediately transitioning to this method now with my PWE Shipments
Great! I have done the same thing and it has been a nice transition. Thanks for watching!
Hey just have a question kind of new seller on eBay been doing it for the past 8 months I just went into the post office today and after sending my cards through eBay standard envelope since I started and they usually accept it but today they said that they would except it because there machines have a part to where it Bends and if it’s not paper that can bend them the people who process it won’t ship it they just told me that today don’t know if that’s a new policy but I went to 3 of them and they said the same thing
Love the Vortex shirt! Big fan of my Razor HD! Very helpful video. I’ve been selling on eBay for 20 years and just came into some sports cards but I want to try to get rid of on there. Wasn’t sure how to sell them. Do you ship every single card you sell in a hard plastic top loader? Wouldn’t that get expensive? Again great video and thanks for the info!
Scottie really great video as usual because u have great content but i have to vent about something and i hope to get feedback from you and collectors. I ship football cards via this method for over a year now. It is a hobby for me. Whatever i do not collect i sell on ebay. There is always a person usually every week saying they did NOT receive the card because they know the tracking does not work more then 50/50. I take them to the post office myself. Ebay tracking DOES NOT WORK consistently. Example my last 6 purchases i received them all and ebay tracking says 3 r still at the sellers post office. Tracking does not always get updated because to usps it is just another piece of mail. It is NEVER scanned so stracking is never updated. Maybe i am a cheap skate LOL but it ruins my day when i know a card was shipped and a guy wants a free card and a full refund. So sick and tired of fighting with ebay because they know the tracking is a joke. Scottie you love baseball so how do u handle this? Does it drive you crazy or do u just eat the loss almost every week and give a person a free card and refund?????????????? I can not be the only one this is happening too. Please comment and thanks in advance.
Make fold over tabs with your masking / painters tape. Takes 2 seconds.
Great video! Getting ready to try the black foam sheet. If it works as good as it looks, you are a GENUIS!
I have struggled for 2 years on ebay trying to photograph without the glare on my cards.
My question Scottie,
On these ebay standard envelope, does it actually show tracking for my customers and myself? I've been told that it is just a barcode. Can my customers just go to ebay and track their card like with $5.25 shipping?
I'm actually surprised Scottie B ships in a PWE, I have never and won't ever ship in a PWE. I use the rigid cardboard 6x4's and a simi-rigid top load to ship my cheaper cards and still come in under 3oz. The cut out for the pics was very useful and I'll be giving that a try.
I just came across this video after selling singles that I dont need for complete sets for over a year now. I know eBay says no cardboard for these labels, I have had no complaints or returns with using 6x9 photo mailers and the trading card labels. Just thought I would share.
