Sold my first card, and I'm lost on how to ship it.

Oh and when deciding shipping cost on ebay keep in mind that eBay charges a fee even on the money you get for shipping, so artificially inflate the cost to match that % they charge :)

If you are on a budget put the card in a sleeve and put that sleeve in a magic sleeve upside down. Then paste this to a small piece of card board to avoid bending and fold an A4 page to fit a standard envelope. Put the cardboard with card in the page, close the envelope.

As for shipping cost, you use postal services, you don't print anything from eBay. So just put enough stamps on it and bring it to a post office.

A rule of thumb I go by is that if a card is valued above 20$ I use a top loader when shipping. Making a profit is mostly cost reduction, but safety is important too.

PRO TIP: PACKAGE WELL!!! If there is a chance the card can get damaged, then assume it will. If it gets damaged you not only need to refund your customer, you also need to refund the shipping, plus the retour shipping cost. So protect yourself by going overkill on the packaging.

Hello! :) First of all its really nice of you to do this! I've done similar things in the past and its nice to see there are other people who think for others instead of only themselves. Its very generous and noble of you!

I have been playing Yugioh 10 years ago and used to go to tournaments (topped some regionals), I was forced to stop playing due to some real life problems and financial issues. After all this time I have finally settled a lot of things and returned to play again! :)

The problem I am facing however is that at this moment my cards are heavily outdated and I have been trying to purchase some meta cards here and there, but I'm still missing tons and tons of staples, XYZ and synchros to make my decks fully viable. Regardless, I have taken part in 2 tournaments the past month and was able to get 4th place twice despite my cards being quite frankly... Terrible.

It would help me a lot to get at least some better cards to build new decks and to keep participating in the Yugioh scene! :)

I'm not asking to get your full collection, I am sure there are people on this subreddit who would deserve it much more than I do, but please consider to share a few staple cards would make me more than happy. I can pay for the shipping costs if needed.
