I have a question for those that sell autographs on eBay. I am listing autographed magazines and those are shipping via priority mail. However priority mail fees are high for single photos. Any advice on how to ship and price shipping for autographed 8x10s? Thanks!

You should be able to send them as media mail...I think its less than $4 which includes tracking for photos (not magazines) Edited on: Dec 5, 2023 - 2:12PM

I sold 8x10s on ebay and used Large Envelopes. https://postcalc.usps.com/?_gl=116motxc_gaODE1NzE3NjU2LjE2NTU3ODA2OTU._ga_3NXP3C8S9VMTY1NjAxNzQ3Ni4zLjEuMTY1NjAxNzQ4OS4w ------------------------------- Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Why are you shipping them priority mail? Ship either first class, ground advantage or media mail all which are cheaper and usually just as quick or slow as priority mail

The magazines I have listed as Priority Mail because of the weight. The first class rate was only $1 difference and I wouldn’t need to buy any supplies. I could see about media mail as an option but it was very slow a few years ago. 2 weeks was one delivery I think.

Check the rules for Media Mail - a single magazine in packaging may not qualify.
