I had bought this a short time ago.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251345290728

For that 500 case shipped from the States to Canada with shipping charges and dutie came out to $60. That works out to $0.12 a bubble mailer.

Not sure where to post this, but am curious where the Canadians on the board buy their shipping and card supplies for Ebay sales? I am no where near an LCS or really any stores, I live in the country so looking for a good source on:

1) Bubble mailers
2) Team bags, top loaders, etc

Seems like all of the stores that sell these supplies are in the US and shipping is over the top.

I've been reusing the bubble wrap envelopes and top loaders etc from incoming trades. I bought a box of regular envelopes for $8 or something for 100 envelopes, stuff the card in a bubble wrap that you can typically cut in half and stuff inside the regular envelope and off you go. Haven't purchased supplies in months. But the above post seems to be a pretty solid deal if you can use that many.

I don't sell more than a few item a month so buying in bulk like mentioned about would be silly in my case. Dollarama, 3 bubble mailers for $1.

Here's a inpatient buyer:

Made a purchase late friday night and this morning has already sent a message asking when the item will ship after only one business day has passed.

For Bubble mailers, I get them from two sources:

1. The mailman. When I open my mail, if the stamp has not been postmarked - I open that envelope carfully, and reuse it.... stamp and all! Great way to save money
2. Dollarama. Mailers are $3 for $1. Sometimes I cut them them half, so now I'm getting 6 for $1.


For team bags / top loaders - Yes... I have a couple of shops near me where I buy them. I keep a decent supply of clean top loaders, team bags, and penny sleeves at home. But when shipping - I use the ones that I received cards in. All those taped up, scuffs, writing on them, etc, toploaders - that's what I use to send the cards I sell back out. I must have 1000 empty top loaders at home, so I've never got to look far for shipping materials.

Need something to fill out a thicker toploader, or use in the packaging?? BASE CARDS! Tons of those too, and nothing better to do with them.

Sometimes I really don't like the way listings appear...or in this case, didn't.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-14-Pani...-/251605182159

Somehow that never appeared in my feed. I check both .ca and .com multiple times a day. The seller's listings don't appear on .ca at all - he lives in Calgary.

Basically a 1/1 card - $28. I can safely say that I would have paid more than that.

I felt like a kick in groin when I saw that in a sweep through the recent Prime sales of his.

bah sorry to see that Rich :(, wait for the feedback to roll through, maybe try contacting the buyer and offering him a nice sum. He might of just picked it up due to the deal to flip it

I'm almost the exact same as 30RanfordFan with my supplies! I re-use envelopes when printing shipping labels and I re-use stamps although it is uncommon for me to find a stamp with no ink on it through shipping process. Envelopes from Dollarama. Tons of top-loaders still, I rarely have to buy top-loaders for shipping. Maybe $20 worth a year. I get thinner cardboard decoys from my LCS cause I run out of them often.

And RGM81, That is why I delete auctions I was watching but missed it, before I see the selling price. I get a little ticked off sometimes! Unless it is simply for research purposes that I was watching it.

Hi all

Not sure if this is the right page but buyer beware


Saw some case breaks going cheap on eBay.
The seller has literally no rules on his description on how cards will be split, how fast he ships, what website he breaks on bla bla bla

So I asked him the questions and received NO response.
Below is his feedback from some recent breaks.
His only positive feedback was either as a buyer or someone who hit anything good on the video.

There is an eBay thread at the top of this page specifically for eBay matters. Open a case if you were ripped off and stop buying from new box breakers on eBay or stop buying Box Breaks on eBay all together.

Good-luck,
