When I sell an inexpensive card (generally $20 or less) on eBay, I ship it in a PWE with cardboard stiffeners in order to keep the shipping charge low. I print "Non-Machinable" in red ink on both sides of the PWE, and I add the required 15 cents additional postage for this "service." You guessed it - every now and then, the PWE reaches the buyer in tattered condition, usually with the card missing. I am 99% sure this is due to a USPS clerk putting the PWE through a sorting machine. C'est la vie!
