Tired of ridiculous shipping charges and sellers who justify them by blaming postal rate increases ? Well , you won't see that here . When the postal rates rose in 2007 I lowered my shipping charge ! Another postal rate hike went into effect in May of 2008 so I lowered my rates again ! Another rate increase goes into effect May 11th so I'm LOWERING my rates one more time .
Now effective on ALL NEW LISTINGS created or revised after May 8th I am once again LOWERING my shipping charges without lowering my standards ! Everything will still be carefully packaged in either a soft sleeve with top loader and team set bag (OR for larger lots snap cases) . These are then wrapped inside your invoice and shipped with delivery confirmation in a bubble mailer .
Shipping for all standard single cards and two to six card lots will now be just $2.00 . Lots of 7-15 cards and jumbo/box topper cards will now drop to $2.25 . Graded/slabbed cards will now ship for $2.50 . Larger lots will have their shipping rate clearly stated in the item description .
Of course I will still offer multiple item discounts . All extra standard single cards are still only $.25 each while all extra lots of 2-30 cards , jumbo/box topper cards , or graded/slabbed are now just $.50 each . If you purchase 6-10 items , please wait for my invoice and I will lower the shipping total . If you purchase more than 10 items , shipping will be free on all items after the 10th . (This cap does not apply to multiple bulk lots of more than 100 cards.)
Based on current costs of supplies and postage , these new rates will not only mean I am charging less than most other sellers of sports cards , but I'll also be charging approximately 25 to 50 cents less than what it costs me to ship each package . As such , I implore buyers to be reasonable when leaving their Detailed Seller Ratings . Consider the cost of my shipping compared to most other sellers . I realize a 4 out of 5 SOUNDS good , but in E-bay's eyes , that earns sellers a suspension .
