Price Guide is still TBD
 
Early November is the 60 day subscription extension end for the OPG so either it's up by then or they will have to do another extension.
Pretty tired of this.

Oh, if I was indifferent to graded cards before, now I'm a total against them. Too many shenanigans going on.
 
Beckett online down. Sportslots down. Several well publicized thefts of cards by USPS workers. And now a million dollar theft of cards PSA just graded and it makes you wonder.
Sportlots apparently is redoing their site... I got a notification last week of it
I didn't know though, if you check their site, it's now 'auctionlots'... That's new and an odd name.
 
Beckett down. sportslots down. FedEX being robbed of PSA truckload.
Now I've received a notice from Pirate Ship that carriers are shifting to dynamic pricing based on some algorithm - so you'll only really know your shipping costs (except pwe) until you buy it.
Will 2016 be the year sports card trading dies?

Walmart already does this. It’s rather annoying.
Mail services are changing already for the holiday season, but I doubt they’ll come back down. They did this stuff in years past, then made it permanent.
2026* is the year AI permanently changed the game.
 
I already edited my eBay shipping costs to go to calculated per location rather than a flat fee. I sold a card last week and shipping USPS Ground Advantage was almost $8. Other times it is $5. I had it set to $5.99 for every transaction but can't trust that anymore.

Roger that, had to do the same............Just bought a rare GU card I need for a set and they're shipping it PWE........I'll see if it comes lumped up or not..........Don't think '26 will be the year trading dies but it will slow down and I think we'll have calculate TV vs S/H..........PWE are OK but not the greatest, takes WAY to long in some instances............

I do like being able to ship anything on eBay under $20 in PWE, but yeah the tracking on it is so bad. On top of being super slow (noticed times have gotten worse the past few weeks), the tracking updates are so inconsistent and many of them never even show delivered when they actually are.

Do you expect that variable cost of shipping to deter sales? Does it only calculate that cost at checkout, or is their a preview?
 
I had to switch to location-based as well. Only on cards over $20 that get bubble mailer/ground advantage. The ese works great for under $20

No I don't. Yes the buyer can see how much shipping will be via USPS Ground while they look at the details page. Ultimately it helps the seller not lose money on shipping which is good.

Yep exactly. Just wish the tracking on the ESEs was better.

I was looking under shipping settings but can not find where to do this...is there a specific link how to make this change? thanks
