Yesterday I had the misfortune of going to the post office and shipping a graded card in a caremail padded envelope to Canada for the first since the rate increase. I was expecting it to go up as Iw as told last Saturday that it would be and saw the rate sheet. Well my normal $3.95 shipment went up to $7.45 which was a shock and took a loss as a lot of people will until their current auctions end. These changes will undoubtly change the landscape for collectors of commons and lower priced singles and pricing of cards in genernal. One other area that sellers will feel this in eBay fees as sellers do get charged their shipping charges. For instance if I sell 100 cards to Canada and now have to pay 7.00 a card that is $0.63 per card in fees or $63.00 in total. That is a a good chunk of change and interested to see how this all shakes out and how it affects the hobby.

Good Morning Everyone. This is a PSA for anyone in the USA who will be shipping cards etc after 01/26/2013 I was at the post office today and since I go there daily they told me that shipping rates are going up. Shipping in the US is for packages goes up from 1.95 for the first 3 oz to 2.07 and 0.17 per oz there after. My biggest increase will be shipping to Canada. First class International packages will now be $6.55 per oz up to 2 ounces from $3.45 and then an additional per oz fee depending on the country. With that said, if you need to ship get it done today or you will see a dramatic increase. ]]> gremmett http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1666-Postage-going-up-tomorrow-please-read http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1624-First-Blog-Entry-for-Sports-Card-Direct Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:59:29 GMT We had tremendous success with our Black Friday and our December Sellers promos and now want to do something for the buyers on www.sportscarddirect.com (http://www.sportscarddirect.com) .
