Use the 4.5X6.5 rigid mailer. Fold your packing slip to fit into the emailer. Painters tape the card that is in a Card Saver to the packing slip and mail. This is by a country mile the best way IMHO. I have never received a damaged card using this method. Second best is use a regular envelope the SAME size. These can be mailed with just a stamp or with eBay's mailing program for a stamp.

The absolute worst by a country mile is those that use a #10 envelope. Then they put the card in a top loader wrap it with multiple sheets of paper and for some bat shit crazy reason put cardboard in the #10 envelope also. Easily 50% of the time the card shows up damaged. Then to make it better the seller just puts a stamp on it so it also arrives with postage due 99% of the time. |
I use this same method and overall it works great. I send out about 10k a year in this format and (knock on wood) have filed just one "damage" claim this year. ESE are fully insured for both loss and damage.
