You want to come pick up the cards, come and pick them up, I am not about to drive to benefit you, that's what the mail system is for...

You want to only pay for PWE, well thats fine you are aware what can happen to card...no one is naive in they can get chewed up...also everyone knows you don't get tracking on PWE.

You wanted padded that's fine, I have never had one of these eaten by a machine. For international, again you know that you are not get tracking...so be honest with yourself...

Delivery confirmation, I have never had one package go missing that wasn't my own fault of not attaching a label properly.

Registered, these still go missing. For the simple fact that people will declare the true value of an item. You put $500 on a padded envelope, I give it 50/50 that it arrives.

It's one thing if I charge you 10.00 for shipping and then I ship it some cheaper method then you asked for, sure that's on me. It's another when you pay 1.00 and expect to get tracking. Why would a seller want that exposure. The seller may be the only one who can purchase the shipping and it their responsibility to make sure it is shipped according to the buyers request.

To me it should be a given that if PWE is requested it is automatic that the buyer waives damages and lost mail. You don't purchase registered mail, it should be a given you are waiving that responsibility. To be honest, most people who are buying $500.00 or more in cards, they know how the mail system works...and if you have been a member for over a couple of months...you do to.

If you have some form of OCD and want tracking pay for it...don't play dumb, don't blame it on others when it doesn't show...

If You don't trust somebody...WHY ARE BUYING CARDS FROM THEM TO BEGIN WITH??? There is a reason there is a ref checker on here. Yes there are new members on here, they should build feedback just like one on ebay would before they start selling.

While $6 tracked shipping is certainly an improvement, PWE shipping can be done for $5 less. It comes down, on a $50 deal, to whether that card will not show up 1/10 times. If you're selling to someone reputable, it will essentially show up 999/1000 times, therefore spending the $5 extra is still an enormous waste unless the buyer is the worrying type.

I charge $2 the 4 cents actually covers the Bubble mailer and packaging. I still lose a few pennies but it doesn't matter. The fact that we are both honest traders doesn't cover the issue USPS can still lose the envelope. Guess who is left on the hook because someone wanted to save $1?

Uh would you please message me with how you only lose a few pennies at that rate including shipping supplies? I buy shipping materials in bulk, and I still can't get the cost that low without losing "more than a few pennies" per shipment.

By my count it would cost me about a quarter per shipment if I charged $2.00. Including ink, paper, toploaders, tape and mailers.
