I always charge $2.50 s/h and deliver in a bubble mailer. I always put this in the auction so the buyer knows what he's getting. Typically, I don't purchase D/C unless the it's for a high dollar card.

depends on how much you care about quality because the mail man is not gonna take care of the card. If you want to guarantee the quality you send it in a bubble mailer. I know if I buy a card and it comes in a PWE I will never buy from that person again.

I am the same. I expect a bubble mailer for all of my card purchases.

Its one thing if you offer free shipping and its like a $2 card! But if you are charging for shipping, charge what you need to cover the supplies and shipping! Also if you want to cut some cost, just reuse the bubble mailers you get your stuff in! Thats what I always use. It gets there safe! I have never had a package get there messed up! I pack better than almost anything you will ever get! And all I use is old stuff that was used to ship to me! All I buy is tape!

I always send in a bubble mailer. A PWE can go through a lot during shipping. A bubble mailer is much more durable. If you do a decent amount of trading you should save your bubble mailers and recycle them. I never throw away my packing supply.

I send everything in a bubble mailer with delivery confirmation. I generally charge $2.50 for shipping since that is about what my total cost to ship (bubble mailer, postage, delivery confirmation, etc.) is.

As a general rule, if you charge $3 for S&H the buyer is gonna be ticked if it arrives in a PWE. Using S&H to inflate your profits will just drive away buyers and earn you negs and neutral on feedback.
If you plan to use PWE say it in your listing. Allow buyers the option to choose if they want to buy from you and have their card shipped in PWE. Be warned, most buyers will shy away if they know you use PWE.

If you charge shipping at $2 or up, then you should do bubble mailer. As a general rule of thumb, if you sell cards bubble mailer is recommended for any and all cards because it keeps the card save and limit the chance of anything negative happening.
