Shipping charge question for multiple card auctions on ebay

I charge $1.75 for a single cardboard card on ebay. Each additional card I sell I charge an extra 25 cents. Fair, right?
What's fair to charge someone who buys 29 cards from me from 29 different auctions in terms of shipping?
My $1.75/.25 shipping policy is way too high in this case.

1 card .................1.75
28 cards x.25.....7.00
total...................8.75
not out of line at all.
I'd charge the 8.75 and would not think I was gouging at all.
especially if these are all 1.00 cards?

It's good to see that you recognize the unreasonableness of the formula in this case. Kudos...

I agree with WP. If you want to cut the guy a deal, shave a buck or 2 off. Or send them priority so he gets them within 2 days of payment.
I never really care about what I pay for combined shipping as long as it gets to me quickly.
Another thing is, you may want to put in your auctions from now on, a MAX shipping of say $5.00. That may get some guys to go nuts on your auctions to try to get a "deal" of 29 cards for $5.00 shipping.

They were mostly $1 cards.
While packaging is less time consuming than for sending the cards to 29 different people, putting 29 vintage cards together securely still takes time.
I'll go $6.
Good point about the max shipping. I'll consider it in the future if I sell a lot of stuff at once.
