Shipping & Packaging

How a card ships depends on its price, and the rate is shown on every listing before you buy.

• Standard-size card under $20 — $1.00 flat. Semi-rigid protective sleeve, sent tracked by eBay Standard Envelope. (Oversize, fold-out and lot listings cannot go by envelope: they ship at the calculated rate below whatever their price -- the listing's own shipping line is always the one that applies.)
• $20 to $100 — postage calculated at checkout for your address. Rigid stay-flat mailer, USPS Ground Advantage, tracked, with $100 of carrier insurance included.
• Over $100 — postage calculated at checkout. Rigid mailer, UPS Ground, insured for the full purchase price. Orders over $250 require a signature on delivery.

Faster delivery: on calculated-postage listings ($20 and up, and oversize, fold-out and lot listings) you can choose UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Next Day Air at checkout. Expedited options speed up delivery once your item ships; they don't change our ship-by date, which stays as shown. We'll always try to ship sooner.

Buying more than one? They travel together in a single well-protected package, and shipping is charged per card at the rate shown on each listing. On a larger order we will often upgrade the whole lot into one tracked stay-flat package at our own cost — you are never charged more than the rates above.
