    Great video Troy. I’m not familiar with pirate ship, but I assume it’s similar or works the same as Shippo as that’s how I so all my shipping for the things I sell on eBay, IG, MySlabs, etc. and it essentially works the same way (and I like how you can add a credit card where it bills all your shipping for the week to). I also bought shipping labels and print on those as it’s a lot less time to simply peel and stick, but I use my regular printer with these.

  • @mikeytathome7750

    Loved the video. This is what is giving me the most anxiety over starting to sell cards on TCG Player. I don’t wanna do what you did at the start and sell a $5 card and pay $9 in shipping and tracking.
    I do have 1 question that I haven’t been able to get answered. Do those ground shipping postages you buy from pirate ship have tracking on them you could give to your customer?

    @christianvogt9699 5 місяців тому +1

    Hey nice video. Do you ever have problems sending your cheaper cards with a toploader in a plain white envelope? I've heard bad stories about cards getting damaged or lost going through the automated belts at the post office, which scares me a little. I could just pay for hand sorting but then have to go inside, which somewhat defeats the purpose. Thanks!

    What assurances are available when shipping cards sold on eBay in an envelope? What stops the buyer from claiming that they never received their order? eBay will always side with the buyer.

    Thank you for the information, will try using ebay instead of usps click and ship which sets me at the 4 bucks, around there. Would love some ideas on sending smaller price cards like 1 or 2 dollar, keeps getting messed up at usps. If anyone has ideas please help, tried to do the way shown in video as well. And looking into it.

  • @hanselgarcia8006
    @hanselgarcia8006 3 місяці тому

    Thank you for this video, I shipped my first card today on ebay. I sold it for $3.75 free shipping. When I posted the card I did the shipping under large envelope for $1.87 but when I bought the label it came out to be $3.86. After the shipping label and eBay fees I ended -$0.90. So next time do I just ship it without the lable?????? Or what do you recommend. I ended up relisting all my cards about $4 dollars more expensive just so I can cover the shipping cost. Because listing them freeshipping brings more views to my items. If you read this message thank you in advanced.

    So when you ship your cards you just put them in your mailbox? You don't go to the post office at all? Right now, I just write out the address in a pen and then when I ship it at the post office I usually get charged 4 to 5 dollars so when you use the shipping label, you just pay for that and then put it in your mailbox?

    I have just gotten into the hobby of collecting sports cards about 8 months ago and just started sending cards off, to be graded, about 2 months ago. I’ve been watching all kinds of videos and it seems that when it comes to vintage cards, the people in the videos are sending their cards to SGC instead of PSA to be graded. Is there a reason for this? Like I mentioned earlier, I’m very new to all of this and any information would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m a new seller so, After putting the shipping label on the envelope, do I have to drop it off at USPS and have them scan it and ensure that it is on the way to the buyer? Or, do I just toss it in the “outgoing mailbox” and pray that the card gets to the buyer? I can’t seem to find the answer on this.

  • @codergary1
    @codergary1 4 місяці тому

    I just had someone used method one and it showed up creased sideways across the center and the envelope had a pronounced outline of the top-loader. The card was 10$ so it followed your logic but it clearly didn't handle well in the USPS mail. I wish they had cardboard for this one. It was a thicker team patch card.

      I delivered the mail for 6 months and the new people, and the veterans, do not care about your mail. Just pack it very well and imagine it going through a tornado and then being run over by a car and ending up at the bottom of the mail bin under hundreds of pounds of mail and packages. Honestly! I am not joking.
