1. You’re absolutely right about how crazy it is I can put a $.50 stamp on an envelope and someone will take it 3,000 miles for me. 2. When buying on eBay I try to see if the seller has an online store front and see if I can negotiate a better price to avoid the eBay juice.
These things go missing all the time.. If i mail 100 per week, 10 of them will never make it.. No tracking updates, fake deliveries, flat out vanishing envelopes.. The seller gets screwed everytime on these things... U can def mail toploaders tho, u can fit a few of them. Card savers are better tho
If you read up on ESE its supposed to be in envelope that is bendable/flexible enough to flex half way around a machine roughly size & shape of a large coffee cup... The article by the company responsible for the eBay Standard Shipping really opened my eyes on what to & what not to risk shipping. Anything 55pt or thicker I go USPS Ground since lost too many relics from being to thick to fit thru automated scanning facility or too rigid to be sorted. If your lucky its stuck waiting to then be hand sorted. So if your $20 & under ESE is taking a while or looks like its been run over by a truck its probably bc it got stuck in sorting machines & had to be hand sorted eventually. Also when ESE actually scans its only at the automated scannining facility so when show delivered its still gonna be up to another 3days to show up. If its scanned delivered & doesnt show up at all its prob was scanned at facility then lost in transit to final destination however it cant actually be tracked bc the ESE tracking# is eBay internal use only & does zero in USPS.
my post office seems to not know how to use ebay standard. it's ridiculous. i've been selling on ebay since the 90's. I know how to ship. there's a big problem with the usps not knowing how to handle standard.
