envelope/letter question

[DoctorRupert]

Hi guys! Im hoping on starting my own ebay selling account and im wondering what you guys use to send cards. Do you use letters or enevelopes? And what are the measurements? Thanks in advance for replies! :)

always, and i mean ALWAYS send in bubblemailers. PWE's gets hammered and thrown around and pressed etc at the post office. always use bubblemailers when sending, to avoid neg feedback. and use pennysleeve/ toploader when sending cards.

^ Good Advice ^

4" x 8" bubble mailers do the trick.

don't sell your most expensive card right away. Build some feedback first

Lots of people will immediately say send in a bubble mailer.

While that's pretty safe, I think you could at least look at the alternative of a plain white envelope, with it all depending on your overall marketing strategy or aim.

The United States Postal Service has given me a great service over many years of sending a good amount of plain white envelopes. It could very well be over 1,000 with no problems and I started selling online over 10 years ago.

If you offer an abundance of cards that would sell for less than say $2 each, you might want to research the potential & look for further insight as a plain white envelope could be a worthwhile weapon. This could drive up profits & when handled right, pull you in a respectable number of customers.

Thanks for the replies guys! I'll start low then :)! Just gonna sell base and insert cards! @bangsportscards Do you add bubble wrap in those envelopes?

All excellent advice from the forum members. Bubble mailers, penny sleeve, top loaders should be a must don't forget to use a little bit of tape to seal the top off so the cards don't accidentally slide out if you don't have team bags available.
