Edited to add: I can scan 10-15 postcards at a time with the ScanSnap S1500...it takes me less than 10 minutes to scan 100 postcards front and back. This used to take me an hour or two with my old flatbed scanner.

The Scan Snap s-1500 is a great scanner and worth every penny....1000 (crisp, non-glossy) singles scanned front and back(on a single pass), auto numbered and linked to my listings, all in an hour. I self-host the images for my ebay listings, so with the front and back scan, I create a file path that I link to each listing so that both images appear in the listing. Takes less than a second to link the 2000 (f/b) images to the 1000 listings. I have not had any damage caused to the cards I am scanning....I tested it with several hundred clunkers before trying on normal cards.
The only downfall to this scanner is that the auto-cropping feature does crop along one edge. The whole card is indeed shown, however, some buyers feel that they are not seeing the whole card due to the one edge being cropped closely.
