Somebody actually explaining the step by step properly and with no waffling on. Gotta love it.

[@nicksellsatl]

This is hands down the best and most straight to the point video on youtube. Can you please do a video on how you would ship packs of cards or bigger card orders.

[@bjj21]

Reusing the bubble mailers is the best thing I've learned over the years

[@T-TiiMe]

Dude, I've been waiting for a video like this from someone for ages! Always thought it was weird how everyone just seemed to already know how this process worked. Thanks for looking out!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Got you bro! Glad I could help

[@carlosjr8642]

Thank you so much for this. It is because of content creators like yourself that help those of us less experienced with these difficult parts of the hobby. I always appreciate how you also share the mistakes you make or have made. Great stuff!

[@breakingstyles22]

Much more intuitive than the videos I’ve watched before. Thank you for posting.

[@BarryMacokner94]

I just began cars collecting and posting videos of rips, I’ve been stressing about the selling/shipping aspect so this helped tremendously. Thank you, sir!!

[@CastilloCollects]

Video of the year.! Thank you again Trike for helping us out

[@noahmckinley3025]

Just getting started and I appreciate the hand holding lol. I bought a shipping label before I knew what I was doing so the packing tape tip saved me here. I listed a lot of cards before ever doing a sale so I was a bit overwhelmed. Thank you !

[@SportsBallBreaks]

I've watched a lot of videos on this topic lately and you hit it out of the park!! Thank you for taking the time to go over each step. You put this out in an easy to view/learn way and it was well received.

[@kotsy8309]

Such a straight forward video. Appreciate the tips, couldn't find anyone that explained it this easily. keep it up bro

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you bro! Really appreciate it

[@doctorwood_80]

Much appreciated man, without a doubt!! Excellent video, very helpful, simplified and informative! If it wasn't for shipping woes and concerns about how, and the best way to do it, I would like to think I would have already been selling a ton more than just the ones and twos here and there. Thanks again dude, this was exactly what I was looking for!

[@brianwhite3428]

Yeah if you want Al Bundy cheap

[@Joealfeo]

extremely level headed individual. extremely reasonable and normal. thank you so much for the help!

[@jack-ee7pr]

Thank you so much, this will help a lot when I try to sell on whatnot or even Ebay. This will help me so much in my sports card journey. You're the best, keep up the good work! you earned a follow.

[@tenshh]

amazing video bro! appreciate the whole shipping breakdown.

[@calvincornel]

Thank you for this! I’m new into the game and this helped a ton!!

[@ExZizZiLe]

just started selling on ebay and this was right down my alley. Your stuff is always very informative but I super appreciate this!! Thank yoU!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Really glad I could help! Best of luck with your eBay journey

[@shadetree1175]

Just like you, I learned everything the hard way. Thanks for making this video. Hope new sellers won’t have to go through the headaches like we did.

[@PackRippingZone]

This is super helpful. Thanks for sharing the links as well!

[@k_ehm]

I’m so glad whatnot gives you shipping labels

[@veihnq3329]

a video like this was needed on this site, thank you brother

[@ZT4Kobe]

Extremely helpful video!

[@gridironblasterbreaks]

Hands-down, a very good video on shipping process.

[@joemezz7700]

Very informative. Just starting out. Thank you!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Wow man, this is my first super thanks. Means the world so thank you so much

[@bananasuitful]

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen

[@redbrickrips]

I started selling cards about a week ago and this video is much needed.

[@ryandoupe1019]

This was all super helpful. Thank you

[@KalElvis]

I have boxes and boxes of sports socks I got at a storage auction, so I make sure to wrap each card with an old sock and put it in a bubble mailer. Works great !

[@chefls1]

Great video my dude! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@jessebelle6596]

Great video! Super helpful, thank you! :)

[@ScuffyCollects]

all great tips for the boys new to this and even some that are a bit more experienced but maybe didnt know some of this.

[@icollectwade]

Thanks for this guide 👍

[@jasonrichmann5135]

Great video! I dont use any tape of any kind directly on slabs or top loaders. Even painters tape leaves a greasy sticky residue. Folding over and sticking down the team bag keeps the card in place in the toploader

[@HighlightNights]

Very helpful. Label printer will be great. Thank you!

[@zmeyer16]

super helpful. Thanks dude

[@GabrielCruz-du8ej]

Your doing well for yourself, I respect that.

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you very much!

[@loniscollectables]

I use a Zebra label printer. Best $150 I've spent. No ink needed for it, prints well and fast. Thanks for the video!

[@coveythesadghost8585]

in the process of selling my first card rn, super helpful video!

[@everardog7820]

Dude your awesome I appreciate this so much

[@shb033196]

excellent tutorial.

[@HenyBenny]

Thanks for the great info

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you for watching!

[@TheArtsyPops]

Good informative video 👍

[@tavernwench2383]

Awesome video; I'm just starting to sell and this is a life saver thank you!

[@wesleyhodge9457]

Great video Troy. I’m not familiar with pirate ship, but I assume it’s similar or works the same as Shippo as that’s how I so all my shipping for the things I sell on eBay, IG, MySlabs, etc. and it essentially works the same way (and I like how you can add a credit card where it bills all your shipping for the week to). I also bought shipping labels and print on those as it’s a lot less time to simply peel and stick, but I use my regular printer with these.

[@clauspage]

Good insight

[@freethinker3161]

Your video was really helpful

[@Mintacious]

Good info. Do enough volume on sales and knowing a good printer for labels I will have to look into now. This helped

[@michaelelrod952]

If you sell a lot of cards … buy a thermal printer… 💯

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Yep 100%!

[@tennishighlights2200]

Can you both recommend one?

[@DontDooTooMuch]

I have basketball cards from when I was a kid but didn't know what to do with them now. Thanks!

[@jonnyb798]

I Can say I definitely learned something

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you my best friend Jon

[@weekendupnate]

Awesome!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you!

[@lostpokejay]

I’ve been reusing my bubble wrap from other deliveries!!! 😂😂😂

[@tommyamin]

Loved the video. This is what is giving me the most anxiety over starting to sell cards on TCG Player. I don’t wanna do what you did at the start and sell a $5 card and pay $9 in shipping and tracking. I do have 1 question that I haven’t been able to get answered. Do those ground shipping postages you buy from pirate ship have tracking on them you could give to your customer?

[@stso6745]

Thanks for this video! I referred back to it several times through the process. I just sold my first card! Zay Flowers A to Z. Thank you!

[@vintagegirl1961]

A suggestion when taping the shipping label on the envelope. Tape over the tracking # to avoid any smearing...

[@dinoferraro7599]

Great video

[@mikeytathome7750]

Thanks. Once you print and put the label on the package what do you do with the package? Bring to post office or put it in the mail?

[@mojo_sports]

excellent video

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you bro! You’re the man

[@christianvogt9699]

Hey nice video. Do you ever have problems sending your cheaper cards with a toploader in a plain white envelope? I've heard bad stories about cards getting damaged or lost going through the automated belts at the post office, which scares me a little. I could just pay for hand sorting but then have to go inside, which somewhat defeats the purpose. Thanks!

[@rickn1629]

Do you save on the label printer? What is the difference between EBay label and having your own label printer? Thank you for the video.

[@don951]

I do pretty much the same. Another tip... any paypal account holder can get discounted shipping through their website for anything they are shipping outside of the ebay shipping system. Cheers!

[@androSS.]

Thanks! Because of you.. I feel I’m somewhat confident I can sell my first eBay card. lol. When I do.. I’ll come back and thank you again.

[@Nyyanks28]

Envelopes you can just print directly onto the envelope saved me so much time once i figured it out

[@urrigongreyjoy]

Hey man, great stuff in this video. I do have one question; What assurances are available when shipping cards sold on eBay in an envelope? What stops the buyer from claiming that they never received their order? eBay will always side with the buyer.

[@GoJot]

Do you use the 4X6 labels on the eBay standard envelopes? I guess part of the label will fold around the envelope since it’s a little smaller than a 4X6 label

[@diamondgems45]

Does the label have anykind of tracking on it?

[@jacobjudd7106]

Bro has beef with waiting in line

[@joshuathomasbrooks9450]

am i able to automate the handling time and location for shipping? I need to do it every time.

[@brianboutot8963]

Do people put the labels on regular white envelopes?

[@tannerhall5524]

For buying lots and selling individual cards is it more profitable to sell on whatnot or eBay?

[@billyrodgers4611]

Do you just drop the bubble mailer in your mailbox and mailman picked it up or do you bring that to the post office

[@wizardofraw]

You print the standard envelope label on your thermal as well? I need to get the standard envelope down so I can sell lesser value cards with cheap shipping.

[@Yackpack]

Do you drop it off to the post office when done ?

[@klim924]

Hey Troy, what's your method for shipping higher end cards that are between 1-5k?

[@JoshuaDJoe]

Thank you for the information, will try using ebay instead of usps click and ship which sets me at the 4 bucks, around there. Would love some ideas on sending smaller price cards like 1 or 2 dollar, keeps getting messed up at usps. If anyone has ideas please help, tried to do the way shown in video as well. And looking into it.

[@JeremyConder]

Is bubble envelope overkill though if you are just sending dollar cards or something cheap? I'm just trying to keep cost down. and regular 4x6 envelope is what i was going to start using.

[@worgtaff]

Do you use non machinable postage stamps for envelopes?

[@silvervalleya-frame7829]

Does the label work well for PWE?

[@elizabethrph7958]

God bless u my guy

[@travisaaron2841]

Do you require single cards in standard envelopes to be non- machine or something to prevent a bend?

[@alecsouriyadeth4593]

This might be a dumb question.. After card is put into bubble mailer, Label is sticked on. Are you bringing it to the post office or are you just dropping it off at the post office or are you just putting it in your mailbox what’s your process when you are mailing it

[@rottenbassist777]

What do list for shipping in the listing though? Do you get screwed by eBay by changing the weight of shipping to scrimp a little profit?

[@alexandermuir6346]

Hi, I am new to selling on Ebay. This was very helpful. I just had 1 buyer purchase 45 cards at auction for $0.99ea. I am struggling to find a video on how to package these cards and ship to buyer. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!

[@kallediv1832]

With both shipping methods (Ebay/PirateShip), does it include a signature, or do you add it in as an extra feature? Sometimes the services can just drop the package off,

[@ETCDITR]

Woop woop I pushed the likes to a even 1k lol ty for the info

[@Sportscardsyo]

So when you put the shipping label on, do you have to drop it off at the post office?

[@hanselgarcia8006]

Thank you for this video, I shipped my first card today on ebay. I sold it for $3.75 free shipping. When I posted the card I did the shipping under large envelope for $1.87 but when I bought the label it came out to be $3.86. After the shipping label and eBay fees I ended -$0.90. So next time do I just ship it without the lable?????? Or what do you recommend. I ended up relisting all my cards about $4 dollars more expensive just so I can cover the shipping cost. Because listing them freeshipping brings more views to my items. If you read this message thank you in advanced.

[@redbrickrips]

Using a PWE and an eBay envelope label, one card in a top loader, can I put it in my mailbox for pickup, or drop in any mailbox? or do I need to drop it at the post office in the parcel box?

[@willywills2010]

I now pretty much do exactly same way u do it now through pirate ship and eBay with thermal printer . I learned through trial and error process I love the wayI do it now but I can always do it better 😂

[@joshuathomasbrooks9450]

Can you do a video on getting them graded

[@justshapos1044]

how do you package bulk cards

[@jakeihrig8992]

Once the label is created does it automatically make a tracking number?

[@markofbay900]

I’m confused about the envelopes. Do you just slap the label on and it’s ready to go or do you still need a stamp?

[@Nathan-pk5oh]

How about stamps for the envelope cards?

[@enigmanity]

Im abit confused on the eBay label seemed cheaper than the pirate site?.. what dictates using the pirate site over eBay? They both print labels in this video right?

[@shellsmashopenings4581]

So do I need to pay for the label on Ebay and on Pirate Ship?

[@leafsrule02]

Once I put it in a bubble mailer, can I just drop it in a post office drop box?

[@srikarboston1109]

Where do you buy your cards?

[@BasedVegeta]

How much does 100 cards weigh approximately?

[@aaronstone6980]

I have just gotten into the hobby of collecting sports cards about 8 months ago and just started sending cards off, to be graded, about 2 months ago. I’ve been watching all kinds of videos and it seems that when it comes to vintage cards, the people in the videos are sending their cards to SGC instead of PSA to be graded. Is there a reason for this? Like I mentioned earlier, I’m very new to all of this and any information would be greatly appreciated.
