How many cards do you ship ESE?

I am selling some cheaper lots, most are 2-6 cards. Getting asked to lower the price of shipping but I charge a flat rate $4.99 for USPS ground and cover the rest out of pocket. I know eBay has a trading card kit that can hold up to 24 cards and still ship ESE, but right now I’m using the same sturdier envelope as them but not the insert they customized. Do you go over 2 cards for an eBay Standard Envelope (ESE)? If you use or have used eBay Standard Envelope trading card kit to ship eBay Standard Envelope is it worth that ~$2 per kit cost to be able to ship eBay Standard Envelope?

Thanks for your help. Was shutting the store down, now have too much loose product to do so yet, so any advice so I can move the rest of my listings would be great!

I searched a bunch of ways in the sub and couldn't find a response, so I apologize if this is posted somewhere.

Due to health reasons, I have to close my store. I can't keep up with it and maintain it with the standards I expect of myself. I have a sports card business. I am down to my last ~26 listings, and they have stalled. Going from daily sales to no sales. I know that being towards the end of my inventory is impacting it. But is there any advice on any platform, even a GPT within an AI platform like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini that people have had success with?

I know my listings are getting buried. I priced at what is my breakeven, or in some cases, a small loss, to get listings moving, so Cassani will start to prioritize my listings. I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Trying to move a few cheap lots today — everything $5-$7 range. Have to close the store down, health reasons won’t let me continue at the standard I expect of myself. Added some more items as I sort through the rest. Should be the last little bit posted next week when I can sort it.

If you’re looking for cheap team lots or rookies my link is in my bio. Any issue accessing it DM me and I can send you the link directly. Reddit does not always allow links to post so that’s why it’s in the bio. Thanks for the support. Just trying to break even and get them to a good home.

Closing down my sports card store — everything is priced to move.

Already sold a bunch over the last couple days, thank you to everyone who reached out and took down some listings!  Trying to clear the rest quickly.

- Rookies, inserts, numbered cards

- Buy more, save more (volume discounts)

- Combined shipping on everything

- FREE shipping when you buy 3+ cards

If you’re looking for a specific team or player, let me know — I can bundle deals.

Trying to move everything before I step away, so open to offers on multiple items.

I have one final group of a few additional items I hope to get sorted and listed by the weekend, so check back then as well
