    Question so when selling PWE have you ever delay with EBay users claiming they never received their cards? I’ve only sold PWE 3 times on EBay and used the EBSE shipping on them and didn’t have a good experience with it. First guy scammed me outta 10$, my 3rd PWE sell is still hasn’t “received” it yet even though it’s been over a week 🤔🤔🤔 idk i try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

  • @ricdeleon85
    @ricdeleon85 Рік тому

    Do you incorporate your penny sleeves, and top loaders to your $1 shipping? If you sell a card for .99 cents and shipping is $1, how much do you really profit if buying a label for $0.60 and every transaction fee is $0.30+12% selling fee?

    • @JMacSportsCards
      @JMacSportsCards  Рік тому

      Lowest I sell a card at is $1.50 which is rare most sell for $2 on up. When someone makes a bulk buy like 10+ cards where there is a combined invoice I’ll sell a card for maybe 1.25 because there is only 1 transaction fee of $.30 applied to all 10 cards (not $.30 per card). Most that sell that low would never sell anywhere else in all likelihood. My average sell price is between $8-10, so many people who ask this question don’t see the big picture with why selling low end is beneficial to bring collectors in to buy your bigger cards, it’s one of those things some people get but most don’t. Cheers.

    I use top loaders, but I've tried doing 1 ounce on shipping and I've had a lot of cards come back because of insufficent postage (machine washable). So I've gone up to 2 ounces, and in some cases 3 ounces depending on the state (Minnesota and Washington).
    I would love to charge less on shipping or even do free shipping and raise my listing price. What would you suggest? Going with the card savers?

    I also top load and team bag my cards. I’ve gotten tons of positive feedback saying my packaging was excellent so I’m assuming a lot of sellers don’t do that. eBay standard envelope is a game changer. I was so excited when eBay mentioned that it was going to be a thing a while back. I’ve had no problems shipping up to 4 standard cards for the .60 rate. (1 in a top loader and the other 3 in penny sleeves all in a team bag. 5 cards or more I upgraded to ground advantage (first class) I didn’t realize you could use a ridged mailer because I thought it still had to be .25 inches or less to qualify. How thick or how many cards can you ship at the 3oz rate from your experience? Great video. Just subscribed.

    Appreciate the video brother! I use eBay standard envelope in my shipping as well and I love it. I actually use a slightly more durable manila 6x9 envelope and am able to put quite a few cards in there and still ship 3 oz or lower due to being able to load them side by side along with stacked. My local post office worker helped me a lot and said that the key is the package being consistently flat top to bottom. So, if you can stack some cards side by side you actually are good as long as it is 3 oz or less! I package the same way as you, and I had totally forgotten about the eBay store credit! I will have to check that out! One other note, I have also had more and more buyers getting "delivered" update on their cards 1-3 days before they actually get delivered. There was a week or 2 where that happened several times, not sure why! I also communicated as you did with them and had them hold off a few days and in 90% of the cases the cards arrived a day or two later. Love your content, and wanted to ask if you set up your own building there to run out of? It appears to be separate from your home, was just curious! Thanks brother!🤙🏻

    Great video! New Low end card sellers need to know more about using eBay Standard envelope. I will have to admit that I was hesitant at first when I first started, but just like you I’ve shipped thousands of cards this way. Have I ran into a few problems? Sure. But because low end relies on volume, the amount of issues I’ve ran into is pretty much a non factor. Keep providing that education and sharing your experiences! It’s very helpful for everyone!

      I also drop in a blue box. Occasionally I’ll have a top loaded card be sent back for additional postage. In my case I’m ok with this because I have a lot more (essentially free) top loaders than I do card savers which I usually pay for. Money I save there helps cover the cost of a stamp if it’s sent back.

They may have a cheap card but they recoup the cost via the shipping.... You may win that card for $1, but they charge $5, then you get a PWE in the mail...they made profit.

I did use a bubble mailer on a couple of nicer rookie cards over $10 but mostly I have used $.60 (card saver) and $.84 (top loaded card) variety depending on if it's a rookie or not with free shipping. I only charge shipping on bid items because I have no reserve so if it sells for $.99 I at least make a little.

    I got a topps archives pete alonso from you a while ago and everything went perfect with ebay shipping. I really like it and honestly if I don't receive a card that I'm all in for a couple of bucks on I just don't sweat it

    As a buyer, I would rather pay a few $ more for the card and get the $1 shipping option, so that the seller gets a larger portion of the funds at the end of the transaction. For example, that card you won for $1.25 that cost $7 nearly only left the seller with $1. If they had $1 shipping, the buyers may have bid up to $5 or $6, costing the winner the same amount, but the seller would net closer to $4 or $5.
    You can also sometimes negotiate a better price for cards priced over $20. A $25 card that includes shipping will get the same deal for the seller at the $20 price point with Ebay Standard shipping.
    As a seller using this option, please remember that Memorabilia cards with cutouts that are near the edges, or some of the combinations cards that have a "frame" and an acetate window will not be structurally sound and will be prone to creasing when they are sorted.
    This is by far a great deal for the ebay card business. This didn't exist way back in the day.

    I do like the eBay standard envelope. I mostly sell Low end sports cards. I have come in trouble with the eBay standard envelope it’s gone all the way to the processing center and then it comes back to me saying that it needs 40 more cents for shipping when all of it is this a Toploader penny sleeve in the envelope. Some of the cards make it through and some of them get shipped back to me. So I think from now on I’m just gonna have to charge $1.10 per shipping and make sure that they don’t come back to me.

    I’m still looking for clarification. You say you use the larger rigid envelope when the thickness requires it, and that you pay more (the weight requires you to do that), but you say the larger (6x6) “rigid” mailer is not machineable, but, I don’t think the difference in .60, .84, $1.04 has anything to do with the need to pay more for it to be non machineable. The difference in price seems like it’s only the result of the increased weight. But have you learned that the increased postage is covering the non machineable surcharge on the 6x6? Or that the 6x6 in fact cannot go through the machine? The eBay guidelines say that ESE must be “not too rigid” and that it has to have standard thickness throughout.
    I also called eBay and the rep said ESE postage is only for machineable.

    • @JMacSportsCards
      @JMacSportsCards  Рік тому +1

      if it is non machinable (too thick) you are gonna automatically get kicked back and have to pay $.40 more so I always bump to 3oz if its more than 2 cards in most cases or if its a patch card or thick stock card. I list patch cards and thicker stock cards with $1.25 shipping instead of free shipping as well. Thats what I do. Others have their methods.

Then I paid .91 cents to ship it, in a penny sleeve and then in a top loader and then in a team bag. I literally lost money. They got the card for free. Any tips?

    i use the penny sleeve in a toploader in a team bag method. i don't use the tape except on the team bag. i make sure the team bag is tight around the toploader. use tape to secure team bag to the invoice. now i do this one trick. when i tape the team bag to the invoice i place it towards a fold in the invoice, then when i stuff it in the envelope, i make sure the toploader's edge is towards the top of the envelope. reason being the whole deal with the machine washable idea is that when letters go thru the machine it usually prints something like a barcode along the bottom of the envelope. keeping the toploader away from the bottom might help prevent the envelope from jamming up the machine. just something i have done.

Also thanks for pointing out that as the seller you can file a claim if a card goes missing. I actually just had this happen to me a couple weeks ago and thought I was SOL.
