You earned my sub for this one. Very basic and important primer on selling, which I do need as I am organizing the cards I do have, and I now need the right supplies. I have a real fear of mailing things out improperly (don't know why) but this will help me conquer that. I'm starting to list cards/packs on eBay and this was the first video I googled. Thanks!
Glad to help out, don't be nervous you got this!
@@RandomRips Thanks. What about foil packs? I have a bunch that I want to ship.
Anything like that I would ship in a bubble mailer, should be around $5
Awesome video thanks for the tips

Great video
Thank you
Thank you so much
This is extremely helpful. I get cards like your alek manoah all the time and I wonder why they don’t take good care of the card, hopefully this will help a lot of that! Thanks for sharing
I just dont understand, shippings cards is pretty easy and some people just dont care.
@@RandomRips seems like they are just trying to get rid of it as fast as they can 😂
Another great 👍 one ☝️ 🎉
Thank you!!
Lord, I just found a huge box of 1980's & older Baseball cards that I bought years ago. Topps, Upper Deck, Donruss, Fleer Ultra. Frank Thomas, Nolan Ryan, Barry Bonds, Derek Jeter, all kinds in perfect condition. I had 2 boxes of full collection pieces but I lost 1 box when I moved. I got basketball cards also that I didn't know I had. lol
Love finding an old stash!
Nice video sir
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Do you have one discussing fee's from Ebay?
I don't, but that is a good idea, I will have to look into one like that.
Hey super helpful video! Question for you... If you have a complete set of a series would you recommend selling it as the full set or by each card? Thanks!
A complete set is going to be much easier to sell and way less time consuming, that's how I would do it. Thanks for watching!
Love the video thank you for all the info. You have been a life saver. Quick question if you don't mind, what is the difference between the eBay managed payment and the immediate payment? Which one should be used?
eBay managed payments is what they call their payment system after they left PayPal. Immediate payment is an option you can use that requires the buyer to pay immediately once they purchase your item, but it still goes through eBay managed payments. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
@@RandomRips Thanks I appreciate it
Hi - Thanks so much for this Video. You, gave all the basic steps on entering a card into Ebay and how to ship PWE and more expensive cards in a Bubble Mailer. How do you ship Blaster Boxes when you sell them? Thanks, and have a good day. Barry
If under a 1lb I would use a small box and bubble wrap and use first class shipping. If it's going to be over a pound I would use a free flat rate priority box from USPS and ship using their flat rate prices
Great video! For the bubble mailer what shipping option do you select?
I select first class, though I believe on ebay that is changing to USPS ground
Silly question, but when you print the label after you pay for it on EBay do you still need to add a postal sticker in the top right corner or are you able to drop it in the mail box as is? Sorry I have been collecting basketball cards since 98 and kinda stopped in 2006..so I just pulled out my binder full of sports cards lol all in excellent condition
Not a silly question at all. Just print out the label and tape it to the envelope and there will be something there for the post office to scan on the label you print from ebay
Thanks for this awesome vid just started selling my cards and I think it’s going well. Fingers crossed. My first few items I shipped without a piece of paper around the toploader inside the envelope. Do you think i will have any issues when they scan it in the machine?
Hey congrats on the selling, I think it's fun! I have never had any issue with the machine at the post office, I think you will be good!
I hate the tape. Take some scrap paper and fold it over the top loader and put it in the envelope
My issue with tape is that you can bend the card trying to remove it.
Like how you tape it to the inside of the envelope…the only way to get it out without applying pressure to the card is to cut the envelope apart.
EDIT: I also don’t want scissors anywhere near my cards
I apply tape to the outside of a team bag, it is incredibly simple to pull that away from the envelope with no damage to the card
What size envelopes do you use? And wow that thermal printer looks pretty cool actually from the label. Thanks so much for this!!
7x4 envelopes, I just buy what's cheapest at a big box store. Thanks for watching hope it helps!
You have to put in sleeve and top loader with painters tape!!
I know it's pretty crazy!
How would you go about shipping an even more expensive card ($500+)? Do you have a video on this topic?
I don't have a video on it, but I would still use a padded envelope or small box with bubble wrap and between cardboard. I would also make sure I had enough insurance to cover the card through USPS. The insurance can be purchased when you are buying your shipping label through ebay
thank you for the helpful vid...what would be your process for unopen 36 pk. box of cards?
Wrap the box in bubble wrap and place some additional filler in the shipping box so it doesn't move around during shipping. Ship through eBay to get a discounted rate, maybe pay for insurance depending on the value.
just take a picture of card for the search
hey brother! just getting started. thanks for the info! where do you purchase the ebay envelopes.? team bags as well?
Either there or Amazon, or your local card shop (I don't have one). Thanks for watching!
What size bubble mailer do you use for cards at end of video?
7x4 I order them on Amazon
Quick question. When you said you change it to 2oz shipping weight instead of 3oz when you ship, how/when do you do that step? Does the post office ever reject the letter if its over 2oz?
After you sell a card on eBay it gives you all kinds of shipping options. There is where I change from 3 to 2oz. I have never had any card rejected by the post office, though 3oz is the max weight for Ebay standard envelope, if your package is over 3 oz I would send it first class mail
Hello - sorry if I missed it, but where do you buy your team bags? Best deals out there? Thank you
I usually get them from Amazon, though you can sometimes get good deals in bulk on ebay
Was that gunner card bought off ebay? Is that how it comes when someone sells using just thier phone ..no printer no computer just phone??
That card was something I pulled and was using as an example. I list all of my cards using my phone, you would need a printer though when selling so that you can print a shipping label
Is there a way to get the shipping label smaller to fit on the envelope or how do you ship it with a label
I have a thermal label printer, if you are using a regular printer you would just have to adjust the size on the printer settings when printing
What do you pick for the shipping option when you mail over $20 in a bubble mailer?
USPS ground advantage, should cost less than $5 to ship that way and if it's a pricey card I will opt for insurance which is a little more
I have a bunch of old baseball cards that are collector and I want to sell them
Great video - thanks for the help! Question - at what point do you need to go to a box just for the amount of cards? In other words, how many cards is too many for a bubble mailer? Haven't shipped anything yet, just getting all of my stuff organized.
I think it could vary, for me if I sold 7-10 cards I would probably just go with a box at that point. I always want to try and do what's best for the buyer, if it gets tight switch to a box.
Thank you!@@RandomRips
My eBay requires you to add the condition in the listing before it can post active?
Yeah this is something that they have added over the last couple of months, it is an annoying step
Great video verry helpfull.quick question tho if you allow offers dosint that add fees
I just checked my listings, I don't get charged anything extra for allowing offers without adds
So you can list the card to ship as ebay standard envelope, but as long as you put in the description PWE.. you can ship it for less with a stamp? How does that work? Am I missing something? I've been trying to find a way to list my 1 cent cards but not have to charge the $1.11 for shipping.
Do use a stamp, always go through eBay for shipping. The $1.11 is the cost for 3oz weight. If you lower the weight to 2oz when purchasing shipping it lowers the price to .87 cents
Which thermal printer do you use?
I use a rollo printer
Can I use the bubble mailer for eBay standard shipping?
Not for ebay standard envelope, it's too thick.
Good Video!! I have eBay sellers send me…..
-5 Cards in 1 Penny Sleeve
-3 Cards in 1 Top Loader
-Single Cards in Team Bags (no penny sleeves / no top loader)
eBay sellers are the worst!!!! It’s ok, because I let them know on the feedback👍
It is so frustrating, hopefully I can at least get the word out a little bit
May i know what envelope you are using and the bubble mailer please?
I just use privacy envelopes you can get from any store and I order my bubble mailers 7x4 from amazt
When you ship ..do you need to get tracking number? Or i can just drop to mailbox?
If you ship through eBay they have tracking on their PWE, so thats all I would use, I wouldn't ship a card without tracking
Great Video bro! Quick question. What if you are sending out like 20 or 30 cards to one person?
Often if I am sending out a bunch of cards to one person before they pay you can send them an invoice with all of their purchases and then you can ship them together. If they have already paid I would send them a message saying that you will send them all together and manually put in the tracking on each item
@Random Rips Sports Cards thanks for the reply,I was actually referring to, do you put all the cards in a a separate penny sleeve/Top loader then in team bags?
Oh I gotcha, I definitely use penny sleeves and top loaders and then maybe 2 or 3 cards per team bag or however many fit
I'm just going to assume you can't use eBay Standard Envelop when listing from a desktop? Ten videos and every last person using a phone, zero mention of it on the desktop at all, won't let me go below 3 ounces, try and it goes right back to 3.
I don't ever post on an actual computer as my cell phone is much easier for my workflow. I just tested it and had no issue using standard envelope. My only advice is to not hit the "apply" button under the dimensions as that sets it to default size and weight. Sorry if this is not much help
@@RandomRips no matter what I did it wouldn’t show up anywhere, no option at all, until I did it on my phone and then used create similar listing to do it, then it carried over. Starting from scratch option wasn’t there, idk why.
I have never sold anything on eBay (lol). When someone purchases my listing, do I get a shipping label sent to me through eBay in an email? Just a bit confused on how the shipping off part is. Thank you for the great video!
We all have to start somewhere! When you sell something eBay will let you know when the person has paid and then you go to a shipping screen and you will purchase shipping from there after filling out the weight and dimensions of the package, then you purchase the label through eBay(much cheaper) and can print it directly from there
@@RandomRips awesome! can i drop it off in the dropbox outside the USPS since I already paid for it (assuming that’s the selected service)? And eBay just tracks it once I print the label?
Yep sure can!
Do you have any comment about the 13% EBAY fees for trading card?
They are what they are. It's the place where you can get the most eyes on your cards. I don't think it should be free, but it would be nice if it was a little less
Is there an issue with the pick your own cards? Are the lower quality?
There is no issue with it, I just don't want to see it when I am searching for cards on ebay.
I got a redemption auto in hand and looking to sell. I am an avid buyer with 100% reviews but never sold. Should I list and sell some cheap stuff first or just go head first? edit: It is a Volpe on-card auto from inception
That's a tough one. I think even if you have some ratings you should be ok, but eBay may put your funds on hold until the transaction is totally complete. Awesome card though!
@@RandomRips Thanks for the advice. Someone else on reddit told me the same thing you said. Not looking to make a profit just want funds for more '23 allen ginter autos. Trying to complete the whole auto set. Its hard
If I ship with a stamp, can I just put it in my mailbox and it be shipped for me?
You can, but I don't recommend it. On eBay their shipping supplies a tracking number, if you ship with a stamp there is no proof of delivery
Do I ship a patch card the same way, eBay seller envelope?
You can if it's not too thick and still inside the weight measurements
I don't like that penny sleeve and hard plastics and also put do not bend
Can u do the QR code with the white envelope instead on printing it
Unfortunately for ESE the Qar code is disabled
🙋 question I'm new to all of this why not just wrap all the cards in cardboard cheap or expensive is it because of shipping weight Thanks.
Ebay restricts thickness and weight for ESE envelopes, so for me it's just easier to throw in some base cards
@@RandomRips Thanks for the tip
Where do you buy the Bubble wrap envelopes?
I buy most of my supplies on Amazon
@@RandomRips thanks Brotha! Love your channel!
I appreciate that!
"I roll it up like a.......roll"
I am a master of the English language
9:18 do I put my address or the person who bought it address
If you are selling on eBay both of the addresses will populate on the label Automatically, you won't have to fill anything out
I roll it up like a …*looks at camera * roll? Lolol
Is the bubble mailer the same price of shippping? 1.08
It is not the same price, the bubble mailer is a first class package and ships for around $5 depending on where you are located and where the package is going
Thanks for the quick response. 👍🏽
Hey what size envelope and padded envelope was that? Any leads on where to buy them ?
Both of them are 7x4 regular envelopes I just get from Walmart or target, padded I get from Amazon usually
So do you include tracking on all cards?
Through eBay ESE even standard envelope gets tracking included, it's sometimes wonky , but still included.
@@RandomRips okay cool, I was curious about that. Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
@@hotcarl3854 no problem, glad i can help
I'm a newbie on selling on eBay, have a couple cards I wanna sell but know nothing about if I should list a price or have a bid? And how much I should charge for shipping, for example i have a Ronald Acuna Jr. 2018 Topps Chrome Update #HMNT25 Braves RC Rookie Mint Psa 10, trying to find the best price to either list it for or would it be best to do an auction? And have no idea about shipping, again I'm a newbie, any information would be much appreciated!! Thanks to anyone for any advice or information!!
We all have to start somewhere! I almost never do auctions because there is just too much uncertainty. On ebay I would find the card you want to sell and look at which ones have sold in the last 90 days and make my price around that. For shipping anything over $20 I ship first class on ebay in a bubble mailer packaged between some cardboard. Should cost around $5 to ship
@@RandomRips thank you!
Don’t you have to pay a 3 dollars to get the label?
The shipping label? If you are shipping with eBays ESE 3oz $1.11
Do you recommend selling on eBay?
I like selling on ebay, it's never been a real hassle for me, just be an honest seller and it works out most of the time in my experience
@@RandomRips thank you 🙏
Do you ever ship cards internationally?
I do, ebay has a good international shipping program so you just pay to get the item shipped to the hub in the US and the buyer pays all the additional fees
"dispose of them" 😭😭😭 because tossing in the trash isnt 10 times easier
