I understand that I'd probably only lose the cost of up to 4 cards which for low would only be 72 cents (plus postage), but could theoretically be $20 if they buy four $5 cards.
As I'm typing this and thinking it through, if they buy 4 of my more expensive cards and request budget shipping I could always ship in a bubble mailer with tracking on my own dime since I made a little extra seller higher priced cards.
My question for big sellers like bryanscs is how often do you get hit with a "package not received" when buyers use the budget shipping option?
Thanks, Nick

You can set a threshold for budget/premium shipping - say anything over $10 and there is no option for PWE any more.
I have no idea how many envelopes I have sent out over the last couple of years but I could probably count on one hand the number that have been claimed missing - it really hasn't been much of a problem.
Been a great site for me to clear out some stuff and sales are generally pretty stable.
