All-Purpose Shipping Products
I use these in every order I ship regardless of what shipping service is selected
Favorite purchase so far for me. Print in 4x6 to fit both envelopes and bubble mailers. The speed + no ink needed is a gamechanger. I print using bluetooth from my desktop PC but you can also print via your phone.
JADENS Bluetooth Thermal Label Printer 4x6
You need thermal labels specifically for the JADENS printer
Immuson 4x6 Thermal Shipping Labels, 500 Pack
When printing your own labels MAKE SURE YOU WEIGH YOUR MAIL if you are unsure of the weight! Single card shipments are easy to estimate but when you start combining your shipping you can easily guess incorrectly and you need to round UP when paying s...
ACCUTECK ShipPro 110lbs Digital Postal Scale
For taping Shipping Shields closed (envelope) or around the cardboard sandwich (Ground Advantage). Be sure to fold in the edges of the tape so your buyer can easily remove it. Good for the inside of the package because it's easy for buyers to remove ...
Duck Brand Clean Release Painter's Tape 0.94in x 60yd
I like these penny sleeves because they're a touch roomy, not fitted but still hold standard cards well. Makes getting cards in and out of them easier.
BCW 1000 Crystal Clear Penny Sleeves 2.625x3.625
Stick these to the outside of the penny sleeve so the buyer can easily remove the card from the Shipping Shield or Toploader
Redi-Tag 5-Color Arrow Flags, 125 Pack
These are super useful, lets you seal the Shipping Shields or Toploaders, keeps them somewhat waterproof and makes it easy to remove them from the packaging. I also use these to group together packs of up to 20 cards in the Ground Advantage shipments...
BCW Resealable Team Set Bags - 100 ct
I use this for sealing the flap on my envelopes/bubble mailers, and for securing the outside of my boxes
Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape 1.88" x 27.7 yd Clear
eBay Envelope Shipping
This shipping type is the cheapest, buyers really like this type but it's best used for cards less than $20 and weight less than 3oz. If your listing sells for more than $20, eBay won't let you choose this option unless it's multiple combined orders ...
Most first class mail envelope types work but I prefer #10's because they easily hold a tri folded invoice
Mead #10 Security Business Envelopes 45ct
I use these shields because they are recyclable material and flexible enough for mail sorters. I prefer to fit up to 3 cards into them + close the flap with painter's tape.
Shipping Shield Standard: Classic Shield
You can use these if you don't like the Shipping Shields, they are flexible and less likely to get caught in mail sorters than toploaders.
BCW Semi Rigid Card Holder #1 - 100 Pack
USPS Ground Advantage Shipping
This shipping type is used for orders of $20+ or over 3oz where the eBay Envelope shipping isn't enabled anymore. Much better for protecting cards in general, but postage cost is more expensive than envelope shipping (like 4x more expensive).
These also come in other colors if you want appealing branding
UCGOU Bubble Mailers 6x10 White 25 Pack
I buy the toploaders for Ground Advantage in medium bulk because these can sometimes be a little bit expensive relatively speaking
BCW Card Sleeves & Toploaders Combo 100 Ct
These are used to sandwich your buyer's higher value cards in the mailer. You can also hand cut cardboard in place of these if you are trying to cut costs.
110 Pack Coolrunner 3.5x4.5 Plastic Card Protectors
If you're shipping a lot of cards (like 100+) at once they likely need a box instead of the bubble mailer
Eupako Corrugated Box Mailers 25 Pack

I use a Sony a6000 but whatever camera you use works. If you want to do high volume or bulk you might be better served doing high resolution scans instead
Personal preference how to display these in the photos. Some people get custom 3d printed stands made.
