    Six pages of single cards sold for $1.01 or less with free shipping.

    Obviously not a good business model.

    I think the hope is that people will browse around and buy more of the seller's items as long as they're buying that one. If that's not it, I'm stumped.

    I am only an occasional seller, but my cutoff is about ten bucks. If I can't get ten bucks for an item, it isn't worth the effort to sell it online.

    Maybe the seller steals postage from a meter at work?

    Or perhaps the seller is a Senator using his franking privilege?

    Even if he mails it for free, doesn't Paypal take 30 cents for the transaction? And what about the Ebay closing fees?

    LOL

    No. The original bidder bowed out at a nickle! I guess a dime was just way too much to risk!
