Share this up guys!! This dude is so helpful in teaching us collectors how to support ourselves during not-so-affordable times. I’ve been following Will for a while and his videos have honestly helped me pay rent some months. Do your part. Share this places for him.
Thanks Dan :) Super happy to hear the videos have been so impactful. One of my goals for the channel was to be able to do just this. Times are tough right now, and I want to be able to help people make some additional income. Thanks a ton for the comment and support!
Making sales on TCG Player now and almost Level 3! Thanks to a lot of your videos... and thanks for doing an updated one on this it really helps.
Great to hear!
I speak for everyone when I say this is the video we have all been waiting for. Great job sir 🤝🏻
I appreciate that!
Great video! Would like to add that you don’t need 2 forever stamps on envelopes. You can use 1 forever stamp and 1 extra ounce stamp, which are only .20 each :)
Great tip!
Thanks for the content! Making some small sales on TCG player to get account established for the day eventually when I want to move more stuff!
Good stuff!
Great to see the process in motion. I also love the new name tag :) Good stuff as always my friend!
Thank you! Cheers!
Another LabTCG banger 🔥🔥
👌👌
Can you do a video on all your shipping supplies and tools uesed? Price, where you get them, how you store them, and so on.
Looking good! Been waiting for an updated shipping video! Thank you so much for the info and help!
No problem!!
Great video. Really appreciate the detail you provided. Caught you on the live show with PK. You’re wise beyond years. Good luck on your continued success and again thanks for some great content.
Much appreciated! Thank you Dave :)
Sorry for the simple question but i was wondering how to get those cardboard cutouts. Is it just manually cut? they look so neat and professional!
Thank you so much for the helpful videos, I am now slowly starting to build up my own pokemon card selling empire! Thank you and hyped to see your next videos!
been watching your videos for a couple months. Got my first feedback after my very first order and got 5 stars with a comment saying the shipping was fantastic. This was the PWE method using the folded cardboard method.
Keep up the good work, here's some efficacy to your repeatable method
That is awesome! Congrats. Glad it is working out :)
Respect Big Dog u always help a Brother out with these videos
No problem!
I can always come back to youe video man. You the best
Great vid. very comprehensive. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Thank you! Your videos are so helpful and most importantly you get straight to the point aren’t wasting our time!
no problem!
Super helpful videos. So glad your back doing them. The videos have also come such along way since the begging. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Appreciate your help.
Np!
Great Job! Love the background music ! Keep up the good work !
Thanks a lot!
Appreciate the detailed video! Very valuable information for all levels of sellers. Thanks, Will!
My pleasure!
@The Lab TCG I was wondering how you would approach an eBay Standard Envelope order if you wanted to mark it non-machineable? Would you want to just set your postage to 3 Oz to meet nonmachineable surcharge or could you just put a non machine able stamp next to the QR code on the envelope?
Super helpful - Much needed!
Np!
Damn man! The info in this great video is for every kind of seller. All in one!
Yes sir!
This was super thorough. Love to see it. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
His is your most influential shipping video I really enjoy as I was looking for the longest time for a detailed shipping video like this but wonder if you could explain how to use docs for shipping label printing
Glad it was helpful!
ey yo
1.26 is a bit much for under 1oz non machinable, should just get 40 cent stamps to add to regular flag stamps for when you need non machinable, or just grab non machinable stamps. Additional oz stamps are also very convenient
What does non machinable mean?
@@aversensous1995It means your mail will not pass through the machine where there are possible damaging your card. You can still put it as long you put enough cards inside lets say you put 4 energy and your middle is your cards that sell. Usually with sleeve and toploader does help out.
I could, but i've always just done it this way.
Y'all are lucky, my local post office won't let me mail cards top loaders in envelopes, even as non machinable because they say there's "merchandise" inside them.
They make me send them as packages even if it's in an envelope.
Interesting, that's strange.
Thank you for the break down. This was well done and appreciated. (edit) What brand of team bag and graded sleeves are you using? (edit2) I brain farted and didn't click on the supplies list yet. I just did.
beckett
How does TCG player know that you shipped the order if it has no tracking? Do you not get paid for the card until after the ETA?
Your videos inspired me to start this channel. Can you do a video guide on the best ways to sell Pokémon cards in Canada?
I don't live in Canada or know Canada's rules, so I am not sure how to make a video about that.
Where do you buy the cardboard that flips to cover a single card? Are there any way to buy tons of those for cheap?
I’m looking to sell on eBay I’m getting confused by using their shipping. Looking at your video I’m still confused. I’m I’m looking to sell one, two or three cards at a time, with sleeve, top loader and a team bag, what’s my best option?
Been loving your videos and helped me so much on saving money on shipping and selling more often. I tried using a one ounce stamp on a card with a top loader and the usps employee had mentioned it was to thick and i'd need to use a 2 ounce stamp. Have you encountered this issue at all?
I haven't encountered the issue personally, but I am aware of it. I apply two stamps to heavier orders to avoid this. My general rule of thumb is if the order has more than five cards, I use two stamps. 2 Stamps will cover up to 3 oz and the non machinable charge.
Your the man thank u for this guide 🙏 appreciate your time and efforts
Thank you!
What if you don’t have the thermal machine to print out labels??
Your too good with your vids bro. Question? How would I ship a build and battle stadium box? Would it be the same as etbs?
I would use a bubble mailer. Like how I shipped the tin and battle deck.
So, just to confirm. I can write non machinable on the envelope instead of purchasing a special stamp?
It’s common practice to not add tracking on envelopes? Unless it’s passed a certain threshold? I saw you have waive your rights of winning any dispute if they say it never arrived and you can’t prove it did!
So 2 stamps and just nonmachinable. They don’t upcharge you the 0.40 at USPS?
Thank you for this video man!
My pleasure!
Good breakdown. Thanks for the great content, as usual.
FYI: audio is out of sync.
Good to know!
Great content as always. Question how do you mail non machinable 3 oz? Do the 2 forever stamps still cover it ?
Thank you
Thanks! Yes, the 2 forever stamps will cover it.
Do you use the 8x8x8 for single ETBs?
Excellent video will!
Thanks!
Do you recommend putting non machinable on a single card through usps?
Appreciate the content! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
very helpful
I have a question! My TCG player account is still under review for I can begin my selling! Do you know how long it takes for them to review my account?
It should only take a couple of days. Try reaching out to sales@tcgplayer.com if the issue persists.
Are you getting your shipping supplies from some where other than Uline or Amazon?
What is a good method for shipping ETB sleeves? I have a bunch I’d like to sell but they’re too big for PWE and I’ll be losing money if I sent them with shipping label.
I usually send them first class in a bubble mailer. almost always break even.
im learning a lot on your channel and im considering to star my small bussines, i just have a question, in all the packages you add "Stamps" example on 2:25 min, what are this and where did you get them?
That would be a USPS forever stamp.
where you get your cardboard sleeves from?
Great information!!!
Good info!! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
I am wondering how you list all your cards on TCG player. Do you sort them and count them and manually fill it into your available stock? Or is there another way?
Where are you getting these 13 cent bubble mailers !?
There’s company’s that sell them, don’t buy from Walmart etc
I believe I bought them on eBay.
hey just wanted to clerify for myself. if i have a new website i now own a business website for selling collectables and other stuff. if i want to sell pokemon cards like the seald retail stuff do i need premmition to use the photos like in your store ? or is it royalty free?
I'm not sure. I would contact a legal expert.
Can you also ship in the smaller envelopes? (3 5/8" x 6 1/2")
I am thinking of selling repacks on eBay as a way to profit off bulk. I am a little leary as I see so many people buying repacks and trashing the seller if they don't pull a $30 card from a $5 Pack. I would like to get your opinion on which would be seen more favorably. Selling a Pack for $5.99 plus $5 shipping or selling a Pack for $10.99 with free shipping?
10.99 free shipping imo
how would you ship a binder ex. a complete master set?
Bubble wrap in a USPS priority mail box.
I know there’s a way to ship cards in a bubble mailer without tracking and just stamps. Do you know the rules on this?
Thanks for this video it was really helpful looking into starting bulk lots on ebay and shipping was my last thing I needed to figure out. 1 question how much in fees does ebay normally take?
Also what do you use for weighing cards
I think it is around 15%. I use both a gram scale and an industrial shipping scale for weighing stuff. Both can be found on the supplies list in the description.
@The Lab TCG thanks you I can't wait to get started 😊
@@SupaJofree no problem!
So helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
believe me I NEED this
awesome!
Great content
Thank you Eliel!

If anyone finds cardboard sleeves for anywhere near .04 cents please let me know, lol. Cheapest I've found is .10 cents and those don't fold they are 2 pieces of cardboard that you have to tape together. Thanks! (link in description has a raised price of .16 cents ea. nowhere near the original .04 quoted.)
Check out shipping shields or toploaders as a substitute.
@@TheLabTCG will do ty and thanks for the videos!
How would you send Sleeved booster packs?
Same way as the regular booster pack.
If you sell a card on tcg player for 50 cent how will you make money as the stamps will cost more
TCGPlayer charges the buyer shipping
Superrr helpful vid!!
Thank you!
But you won't be able to track it
And people can say they didn't receive their card
It also makes sense to Insure the cards
Against theft either by USPS Mail Carriers or other people
Hi will were do the stamps come from when you get an order?
usps
Awesome video
I wouldn't ever buy from someone who doesn't know how to ship Pokémon cards correctly lol What's the chance they've kept their cards in good condition if they need these simple instructions lmao 0%
Able to source me a rebel clash booster box? Clown effect
I don't have any unfortunately :(
@@TheLabTCG no worries mate sometimes it's easier for you guys over the pond to get things, don't ask don't get lol.
I'd love to see you on other channels discussing pokemon, would help boost your profile and youtube. One the most sincere poke tubers
I'd love to. Be sure to let them know I exist haha!
