Your thoughts?
This, in bold.
If I'm buying a popular player's card in multiple qttys, I become most definitely on the losing end of reselling due to below reasons.

1. I don't sell until the cards are in my hand, and by then, most of the presellers have sold at the bare minimum profit line already.

2. I never do economy shipping (always in secure bubble/padded mailer with tracking), so even if I sell the card itself at $4 with adding the shipping cost of $3.50, I'm already at loss considering the eBay fees and paypal fees.

Maybe I need to reconsider the way of shipping depending on a value of the individual card.
Or consider holding onto the cards a lot longer, so there is more value added as time goes on...
