New eBay Standard Envelope

I personally won't use that option. I prefer to stick with placing card in top loader and using. bubble envelopes.

PWE offer very little protection. I think every card deserves to have some sort of protection.

No protection for the seller on ebay using this platform. This sounds very problematic to the seller and buyer. Easily damaged at no fault of seller, I can see ebay siding with every buyer hands down, every time, they know the S show USPS is nowadays. It's ok for beat to hell freebees or trades to be sent this way, but ebay, no way.

Avoid

Probably off topic but, Issue I have had in the past , when I ship PWE or w/o tracking 80% + of the time buyer claims no receipt. And we are talking $10 cards here. Integrity has no minimums it seems...

last two or three years I've mailed 100's of single cards in top loader & PWE no tracking. and dozens of lots of 9 in 1/3 of a nine pocket sheet.

$2 to $10 w/ free shipping - mostly $2,$3,$4 cards

Probably very few of those 100's would've sold if I had to add $2, $3 or $4 for shipping

I've refunded less than 10 due to seller claiming no receipt.

Not once has anyone complained of damaged cards.

If the tracking works on these labels, I'll use them.....

and, I'm pretty sure I saw that <1 oz is only 51cents

Really? In the past couple of years I have mailed several thousand of these, with only a couple of dozen claims of non-receipt.

It just amazes me how many times I have shipped items in a PWE and the buyer says he never got it. I had to stop doing free shipping because of it. You have no way to prove it was sent and received.

yep, I've mailed a couple hundred like that, and had maybe 8 or 10 claim they didn't receive. You're right, nothing you can do at that point

I'm with you. People might not like me charging $3.50, but I get them their cards in one piece. I don't see that happening with PWE.

Yes, and people don't realize that you are losing money on all of your $3.50 shipments. eBay takes 43 cents for fees on the shipping, and a 4 ounce package runs from $3.01 to $3.49, depending on the zone, so if you factor in the padded envelope and the supplies, ink and paper, you are losing between 90 cents to $1.40 or so on each shipment. If you are shipping a couple of cards and you need 6 ounces for postage, you are losing an additional 47 cents per package.
