What pals are you hoping for?
is anyone hoping for a different style of card foils for R/RR instead of shatter foils?
should the packs be bigger in future to make singles more accessible? or should boxes have more packs?(some RR are quite high in price now because demand is bigger than supply aka zoe's strategy etc )
Pulled these 2 cards in the same pack with the last foil rare and they came with those artworks in order together and osr and sp in the same pack . Also got an SSP in my second box
Change my mind
I have set a 3 day dispatch time and use 2nd class stamps on my letters for trading cards sold at £1-5. Someone purchased one in the morning on monday (8th) and ebay is saying their estimated delivery is 15-16th? how?
i dont even know if everyone is aware but royal mail has 2026 new delivery conditions for royal mail 2nd class stamps.
you can see them here. for those who can't be bothered to click the link ill write it here below
2026 royal mail delivery schedule 2nd class :
week 1 delivery days : monday wednesday friday non delivery days : saturday/sunday
week 2 delivery days : tuesday thursdays non delivery days : saturday sunday
so assuming i sell an item on the 8th monday, and i dispatch it on thursday the 11th. It has friday, monday and tuesday as "working days" yet not all working days even classify as delivery days anymore. so let's say its week A and it doesn't get delivered monday/tuesday/wednesday the only next delivery day for it is a friday which is the 19th and by then quite a high percent of buyers will claim it hasn't come and you have literally no tracking available. you can't provide tracking because the price of the item wont allow it and if you try to use simple delivery the price is too inflated compared to the market to even bother hoping for a sale.
Now lets assume its week B you send it thursday, it doesn't arrive friday or monday and misses the tuesday delivery day then the next delivery day is thursday?
also ITS REALLY GENEROUS TO EVEN ASSUME royal mail will delivery a 2nd class letter in 2-3 days in 2026. realistically you're looking at 5 day delivery time or sometimes more even before the change in my experience as someone who sends 100s of letters a month. which makes this new system even more shitty.
anyway not that i even believe this system is based in reality but out of curiosity i changed my dispatch time from 2 days to 3 days last night and it literally showed the exact same delivery estimate to the next buy as it did the previous one so it gave them a 5-6 day delivery window.
i've had more items not arrived claims in the last month or so than basically ever selling on ebay
