In addition, do not mark envelopes that have the printed eBay Standard Envelope postage as non-machinable. These letters are machinable, and if you mark them non-machinable, your buyer will need to pay a postage due charge. These letters are tracked when they go through the letter processing machines at the entry and the destination processing plants. If you mark them as non-machinable, they don't go through the machines and they will not be tracked. The bar-codes on these letters are not able to be scanned by the clerks scanners or the carriers scanners - they are only detected by the letter processing machines. The eBay Standard Envelopes are only meant to be used on machinable letters.

Agree with Rick, we have been putting a card (or several) in a sleeve and holder, taping it to folded piece of paper, and using the eBay standard envelope postage, probably for >100 sales at this point and it has worked great. It's actually great for both sellers and buyers for low-cost cards and I have not had any buyers note either slow shipping or card damage so far.
