"I just mailed a priority box...one of the small square boxes with 40 graded cards and it cost me over 15 bucks!!! Gosh, if I had known it was going to be that much, I would have just used the flat rate. Before, this package would have cost me no more than 8-9 bucks."

That is where I got killed yesterday and today.
I am going to use ONLY flat-rate Priority, henceforth.
Bubbles for less than 3-cards. 3 or more, I will put the items in the bubble and put the bubble in the flat-rate container.
This whole thing is bad. Not good.
...it's going to get out of control, and we will all be lucky to live through it.

Why are sportscard collectors getting bunged up over postal rate increases? Probably 80% of the people here sell less than 300 cards a year on Ebay, which means the rate hike will end up costing them $150 or so---- or, to look at it another way, the price of getting 25 NM-MT 1989 Bowman Nolan Ryan cards graded. Look on the bright side; if the rate hikes mean we have to cut down on the number of $.25 cards we get graded, then at least at the end of the day we'll have fewer worthless slabs clogging up the storage bins in our card den.

I wouldn't count on that... there will almost certainly be a couple of people with 1000 + listings who click themselves to death doing rate changes.
