US shipping rates
#3

RE: US shipping rates
Well...if you are a Top Rated seller and need to meet certain criteria, then you are required to ship and upload with delivery confirmation tracking of your PACKAGE. Since you can't do that with a PWE, then the next cheapest way is to use the eBay/USPS partnership in printing labels for $1.93 for between 1-3oz. Then this automatically uploads tracking for you.
So..."1.93" is cost of shipping typically for a card.
However, eBay charges a 10% fee on the shipping cost as well as Paypal fees on top of that.
So if you are charging EXACT shipping cost of 1.93, then you're loosing money.
Common practice is to "pad" a shipping cost so that the fees and handling charges are combined into the amount.
Since I buy all my supplies in bulk, padded envelopes, top loaders, sleeves, etc. are fairly cheep. So I charge 2.75 for first auction and $0.50 for each additional, and cap at $5.
Int'l is horrible though...
Collect Michael Jordan, Stockton/Malone/Hornacek/Eaton, Kresimir Cosic, Int'l oddballs
