Default postage

One card in a card saver in a bubble mailer is a parcel and will cost you $2.07. You will get free tracking.

If you put it in a 6x8 photo mailer it is a nonmachinable letter and will cost you 86 cents. You cannot purchase tracking for this.

A slabbed card with a light piece of cardboard around the slab and mailed in a bubble mailer weighs 3.5 oz. It is a parcel and will cost you $2.24. You will get free tracking for this.

Pricing through ebay/PayPal will receive a slight discount but I have found that the discount is outweighed by the cost of ink and paper to print the label. I just purchase stamps at the post office and apply my own postage and drop it at the PO.

The rules changed in regard to what is considered a letter, a flat, and a parcel, a couple of years ago. The rules changed again in January to allow free tracking for all First Class and Priority parcels.
