    Share this up guys!! This dude is so helpful in teaching us collectors how to support ourselves during not-so-affordable times. I’ve been following Will for a while and his videos have honestly helped me pay rent some months. Do your part. Share this places for him.

      Thanks Dan :) Super happy to hear the videos have been so impactful. One of my goals for the channel was to be able to do just this. Times are tough right now, and I want to be able to help people make some additional income. Thanks a ton for the comment and support!

    Great video! Would like to add that you don’t need 2 forever stamps on envelopes. You can use 1 forever stamp and 1 extra ounce stamp, which are only .20 each :)

    Sorry for the simple question but i was wondering how to get those cardboard cutouts. Is it just manually cut? they look so neat and professional!

    been watching your videos for a couple months. Got my first feedback after my very first order and got 5 stars with a comment saying the shipping was fantastic. This was the PWE method using the folded cardboard method.
    Keep up the good work, here's some efficacy to your repeatable method

      @The Lab TCG I was wondering how you would approach an eBay Standard Envelope order if you wanted to mark it non-machineable? Would you want to just set your postage to 3 Oz to meet nonmachineable surcharge or could you just put a non machine able stamp next to the QR code on the envelope?

  • @TachibanaTengoku
    @TachibanaTengoku ปีที่แล้ว +1

    ey yo
    1.26 is a bit much for under 1oz non machinable, should just get 40 cent stamps to add to regular flag stamps for when you need non machinable, or just grab non machinable stamps. Additional oz stamps are also very convenient

    • @aversensous1995
      @aversensous1995 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What does non machinable mean?

    • @dblinkpink2242
      @dblinkpink2242 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@aversensous1995It means your mail will not pass through the machine where there are possible damaging your card. You can still put it as long you put enough cards inside lets say you put 4 energy and your middle is your cards that sell. Usually with sleeve and toploader does help out.

    • @TheLabTCG
      @TheLabTCG  ปีที่แล้ว

      I could, but i've always just done it this way.

  • @misifran2001
    @misifran2001 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great content as always. Question how do you mail non machinable 3 oz? Do the 2 forever stamps still cover it ?
    Thank you

    • @TheLabTCG
      @TheLabTCG  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Yes, the 2 forever stamps will cover it.

  • @theanimeaccountant1472

  • @KillaDot909
    @KillaDot909 ปีที่แล้ว

    So, just to confirm. I can write non machinable on the envelope instead of purchasing a special stamp?

  • @RichardLamp-v6u
    @RichardLamp-v6u ปีที่แล้ว

    Been loving your videos and helped me so much on saving money on shipping and selling more often. I tried using a one ounce stamp on a card with a top loader and the usps employee had mentioned it was to thick and i'd need to use a 2 ounce stamp. Have you encountered this issue at all?

    • @TheLabTCG
      @TheLabTCG  ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't encountered the issue personally, but I am aware of it. I apply two stamps to heavier orders to avoid this. My general rule of thumb is if the order has more than five cards, I use two stamps. 2 Stamps will cover up to 3 oz and the non machinable charge.

  • @paperninjacards2355
    @paperninjacards2355 ปีที่แล้ว

    Y'all are lucky, my local post office won't let me mail cards top loaders in envelopes, even as non machinable because they say there's "merchandise" inside them.
    They make me send them as packages even if it's in an envelope.

    I am thinking of selling repacks on eBay as a way to profit off bulk. I am a little leary as I see so many people buying repacks and trashing the seller if they don't pull a $30 card from a $5 Pack. I would like to get your opinion on which would be seen more favorably. Selling a Pack for $5.99 plus $5 shipping or selling a Pack for $10.99 with free shipping?
