Question about mailing in a PWE

Yeah, the eBay standard envelope system has issues like this for some people. If you use a toploader, sometimes a post office will say it�s too rigid for the automated processing and kick it back for more postage. But some people have never had problems sending toploaders.

I had a couple toploader envelopes sent back to me for more postage, as I was doing it that way at first. And now just use a cardsaver and have had no issues with postage and no issues with damage.

Top loaders seem to get hung up in the mail sorters and can cause damage. Card saver works better and can be but in between very lightweight cardboard(like a USPS priority mailer piece) and avoid the dreaded "package" cost. Ist class letters like these can also be sent metered Non-Machinable with a small surcharge, usually cost $1 plus or minus.

Thanks, maybe I'll give this a try next time with a cardsaver and a cut up USPS priority envelope for a little more protection.

Thanks for your input. I wasn't sure if a cardsaver was a good idea because I thought the card would be more prone to damage, but maybe that's what I need to try.
