I currently have a hold on my $ in Paypal for 21 days for low shipping scores on items sold on the other site. I have 4450+ Positive feedbacks and ZERO negatives. I charge $3 per card shipped with Delivery Confirmation in a top loader for each individual card, sealed in a team bag, in a Padded Envelope, every time. I charge $1 for each additional item purchased up to $5 total shipping maximum per transaction. LMK what you think of my shipping $ and method.

People expect things for free, Paypal thinks they can control your money. It's just a way for the monster to get fatter. I think your prices are spot on.

Right.....but you can't fight something that big.....you either have to play the game they want or adapt and overcome.......

Definitely agree with most here... I wouldn't ding you for the $3 shipping as that is normal nowadays. It's the combined shipping that would chap me. I don't like to pay more than .50 for each extra.

You've got to get on the paypal label thing, it's a requirement!!! Delpants, you've got to go to the library or kinkos or something my friend! Save yourself the extra cost of the PO.

good question and if you "advertise" those rates in your auctions show Paypal and they should help you out with your predicament ..... I've run into the same situation in past and I showed ebay all my running auctions and how I posted my shipping rates etc. and they stopped giving me grief

I hate when folks give me grief over charging $2.99 shipping when it's clear what I charge in all my auctions but you can't please everyone all the time

I charge $1.99 and .10 cents for each additional card. I have 5s across the board.

I have a jold on my PayPal for the same reason as well. I charged $4 for a lot of 20+ jersey and/or autographed cards and 3 people gave me low stars. It takes a year before you have the hold removed. Mine is lifted sometime next month.

I caved in and decided to just ship for free. Why? Because you automatically get 5 stars for shipping. I also hoped it would shorten my hold, but no. Anyway, eBay is pretty much making people ship for free, so I do too now. Best advice I can give you is to stop with the intricate shipping pricing method and ship for free. It eliminates a potential hassle, or an ACTUAL hassle in both our cases.

Last fall Ebay started putting holds on the money for shippers that hadn't met certain requirements. In January Paypal randomly started doing the same thing. They held up my account for a month and then reviewed it and I no longer have anything held. When I called and asked they said there was no specific reason for it they were just going to start doing a review with everyones accounts. If you use DC then you can call paypal once it shows it's delivered and usually they will release your money within 24 hours. Everytime i called it was usually done right then.

I charge $2.50 for shipping and everything goes in a penny sleeve and toploader and then a bubble mailer. usually I don't charge for extra cards as long as they fit in the same envelope. I print all my shipping through ebay so anything 3 ounces or less with DC is $1.64. I buy all my bubble mailers in bulk so generally I only pay .10 to .15 a piece for them. I have never once had one complaint about shipping or about cost. Even the ones I ship to Canada.

I was curious if you could pm where you get your mailers at, that's a good deal and wouldn't mind getting in on that myself. If not thanks also.

They lifted the hold because you weren't hit with low stars. Both the OP and I were. If you sell something, PayPal will release the funds to pay for the shipping, and if you ship for free, they will release the funds a bit quicker, however, they will keep the hold on for however long they told him.
