Also, ebay putting account restrictions on new sellers is a good thing. You can get past that stage fairly quickly though once you establish a record of selling items and shipping them in a timely manner and receiving positive feedback.

It wasn't a card, Travis. It was a Plant System timetables brochure that I paid over $100 for many years ago. Now it's worth WAY more. But it only sold for $67. I was shocked it only got 3 bids given the number of watchers. I thought it would would sell in the hundreds at the very least. But because of rarity and desirability, I clearly stated in the description Priority Mail only. He didn't have to bid if he was put off by that. In the end, I sold another item that I paid a little of nothing for that went in the hundreds. Even though it sold high, it went Ground Advantage with tracking. Your guess is as good as mine why buyers went into a small frenzy over it. So sales wise, it balanced out, even with my disappointment over the other one.
