Politely asking for more details is a whole lot different than saying, and I quote, “I believe you’re making it up.” The former is useful. The latter is accusatory and negative. 

BTW, I’ve been using PayPal shipping for years. I weighed once, and then I estimated. Sending between 25 and 75 cards. Almost always under $3.00. Never a problem. And no trip to the post office. Try it!

That is better.  Lots of people believe in things that are not true. That is a fact. Writing "I believe it's cheaper" is lacking facts and is guesswork and was not very helpful. You reading that as negative, tells me more about you then you assuming and getting it wrong, that it was written in a negative light. If you would have considered there are people looking to find out if there is a cheaper way. The facts are the only thing that will help. I've tried asking that blue dinosaur that lives under my bed, but he does not "believe" humans exist. 

I do have some questions.

On average how many cards are in the packages on your list? it is a factor. Because using a yellow bubble envelope is a set price for the post office. Then the weight comes in along with the zones crossed. I see the price of $2.96. listed the most. So I'm thinking they are maybe two zones with no extra weight.

Are they all yellow bubble envelope?

Here is an export of all my shipments for the last month.   

One went to $4 (96 cards)  So i apologize for that oversite of $1.  But most of my shiptments as you can clearly see are under $3.

paypal.com/shipnow for me.  IndyBean showed me it.  and I believe there is a little discount on it.  Most shipments (up to 100 cards) less than 3 dollars shipping in a bubble mailer.  

So easy, except that you have to weigh.

I've been using pirate ship for close to 9 months and average 1.00 per pkg savings.  Only time it goes over 4.00 is 125 cards or more shipping to the farthest zone.  For 300 cards or more, the flat rate bubble mailer is 7.55.  I have a sportlots account, shipping 40-60 packages a month, plus what I ship on 4 trading sites, usually save about 50.00 a month.  I didn't think Id ever use online postage, but it's saved money and time for me.   https://www.pirateship.com/
