Talking on Ebay?
Mail fee to send a 2 oz large envelope-------------------------------------------------------------- $1.19
Bubble mailer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$0.52
Cardboard to make more rigid so that your postcard does not arrive as an origami display---------$0.10
Ebay /paypal fees---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $0.20
Total:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $2.01
These are general prices, Bubble mailers can vary in price depending on the bulk discount you can afford..the cost much more per unit if buying 1 to 4 at a time Some postal discounts can be had. Ebay and Paypal fees run at 10% and do include shipping charges (this was done to avoid selling a $100 item for $1 and shipping at $99 to avoid fees) There is considerable time in putting a well shipped item together, this is called a handling fee. All together $2 for S&H is not a bad deal. When buying items from ebay, look for multiple items from a single seller who will adjust shipping charges for multiple items. Most of my items start at $2.50 shipping and I do combine but continuous Post office price increases has resulted in S&H to become a significant part of the transaction.
