@@kenndalwilliams9976 Yes! That should help protect it! I stan Seventeen as well! I have every Korean version album they have released! I also have both lightsticks and they were my 3rd kpop concert overall and 1st boy group concert!
I want to say first of all thank you so much for explaining on national shipping that’s one of my biggest worries so I appreciate the info greatly! I also wanted to ask how would you go about shipping internationally for more than one photocard and how would you get tracked shipping and now pay a crazy amount? 😭
Depending on where you’re shipping from can differ the amount of postage needed or how heavy the envelope can be before additional postage is needed. If you’re shipping from the US I suggest looking at their international letter mail weight calculation run down. If you’re unsure of how much to put on the envelope for postage you could always have the postal workers at the post office assist you with putting the correct amount of postage on before sending it! I’d say that you could probably fit a few (maybe 3) photocards in a top loader and it be within the weight for a international stamp. I believe that the weight limit is 1 ounce, but double check the USPS website for the specifics on weight and postage. As for tracked shipping internationally, that would cost a lot more. For photocards it was around $14 or something last time to get it tracked, which is very expensive. There’s really no way around expensive international shipping if you’re shipping from the US. There are other shipping services but they may be even more expensive (DHL, UPS, etc). The best way to see if you’re paying the cheapest for postage is to go on their websites and see how much it’d cost by filling out the necessary info. I’m not as experienced in shipping packages in general, but I’ve done a few but all within the US. I’m sorry I couldn’t be much help. Thank you for your praise! I’m glad this video is helping people even if just a little 💕
@@yariheredia001 there are a lot of people trading and everyone had to have a first time, most people will totally understand and help you if you need it! The key is communication and traders will be A-OK!
Hi!! Just wanted to clarify that if you were to ship the card internationally, you would only need the $1.20 global stamp, or to be safe, could you add a forever stamp in addition to the global stamp to be sure it covers the cost of the weight? Thank you for the video!
International shipping should cover the weight of 1 photocard, including the top loader and the envelope, etc. As long as the weight is under 3.5 ounces it'll be fine! If it is over that I believe you need another international stamp to cover the extra weight. You could try doing 1 international stamp and one forever stamp, the worst they can do is send back for insufficient postage.
How do you charge people for shipping if you already have the stamps? As well, as for tracking? Are there certain stamps for that or would you have to go to your post office?
Well most of the time it is a flat rate. If you are from the US shipping within the US are 0.55 cents and international shipping is $1.20 so it is pretty easy to send with stamps. I don’t really know what your first question is asking, depending on where you are selling you can include it in the price or say the item is X price and shipping Y price. For tracking I don’t know as I don’t have experience with that since the postal workers at my local post office are quite rude. I mean all stamps are obtainable from the post office. I am sure there are ways to purchase stamps through the USPS store, as well as international stamps. I am pretty sure you can send packages and things with tracked shipping through their website as well.
Sooooo!, we just writte the adress on that envelop and our adresss put the stamp and drop it of at the blue mail box? And they will know who to send it too right? Just to double check, no human interaction
You put your address in the top left of the envelope, which is considered a return address (in case anything goes wrong with shipping it can be sent back to you). In the middle of the envelope, you put the person you are sending to their name and address. As long as you have the correct address there shouldn’t be an issue! Of course have proper postage paid for the envelope/package. You don’t have to have human interaction at all, you can put the envelope in the blue box and it’ll be just fine!
You can put it in either. The postal service should pick up mail from your mailbox and definitely will pick up from the blue box. I like to put it in the mail box that only the postal service workers have access to, as people with a mailbox that can open freely can have the mail stolen prior to being shipped.
i wanted to trade with someone but i wanted to make sure i dont get scammed so i was thinking we both post our pcs on depop for the same amount that way we dont lose out on any money. But i was thinking of doing stamped shipping and idk if depop will protect the transaction if something happens. Do they only protect if you ship with them? Sorry if youre not sure about using depop i just thought id ask if you knew.
I’ve never used depop, but if they have a buyers protection portion in their FAQs or something, it may tell you more in detail. That is honestly not a bad idea to not get scammed!
It is, but you can use regular USA stamps for international mail, you just need to make sure there is enough money among the USA stamps for an international shipment. The international stamp is roughly $1.20 as of right now for 1 ounce. I honestly would try to get international stamps only because I have done it and I know it works, but I remember looking up if you can send international mail without an international stamp and I found that you could. I would say go to your local post office and ask, but because of the virus and postal workers not always being very helpful or nice... I belive you can order international stamps from the USPS website
If it is a “forever stamp” it will count as a 0.55 cent stamp. Is there any numbers on the stamp? (Also I only know about the United States stamps as I have only live in the US)

Hi! I was wondering when mailing 1-2 photocard through stamp mailing within the US, can I use forever stamp if I can how many is it required? And if not which stamp is best to buy for stamp mailing, Thankyou
The forever is more than fine! They should be able to fit 2 photocards within a top loader together. You can always weigh it to see if it’s over the weight and if so another forever should be sufficient. You can always ask the postal workers for a cheaper stamp if you don’t need 2 forever stamps.
this might b a dumb question but do u know if most photocard traders send out mail thru the usps blue box or if they actually go to the post office building?
@@rifanabegum4837 well you can try to get lucky and buy the album. eBay, Mercari, depop, Instagram hashtags and maybe Facebook groups. You could google search hyolyn Photocard and find it through images or website links potentially.
heyy, so we just write our name and address in the top left? and the buyers in the middle? and where could i get stamps and where could i post the photo cards i wanna sell, so people can see them?
I’d start with Instagram or Twitter for a place to start selling. You can go through PayPal, cash app, Venmo, etc. Stamps can be bought at the post office and if you get the ‘forever stamp’ it should be good for sending one to a couple photocards in one go without needing additional postage. As for the address, put the return address in the top left and the person you’re sending to in the center (exactly how you said 👍🏻) Also be sure to add the hashtag of the artists name and Photocard. I’ll show you a few tags to try as examples! #TWICEPhotocard #TWICEWTS #TWICEWTT #TWICESALE (WTT - want to trade and WTS - want to sell) you could do general tags like #kpop #kpopphotocard #photocard but I think the majority of inquires will come from a specific tag of the artist.
Hi I have a question on where do you send the photo card if you want to trade it Like how to safely and goes to the new owner . Like Im doing my first photo card trade but I’m confused about the shipping.
You send the Photocard to the person you’re trading with. So you’ll need their address. If you follow the steps I have from the video I can assure you it is likely to get to your person you’re trading with safely. The postal workers sometimes mess up, but I’ve sent so many overseas and they arrive super quick and without much issue.
You usually buy a sheet of stamps, so you will put it on the top right corner. If it’s an international stamp you can buy them individually or a sheet as well. They could put the stamp on for you but usually you’ll put the stamp on the envelope or package yourself. Short answer, but a sheet of stamps (make sure that one stamp is enough postage) and put it on the top right corner and it’ll be fine (as long as it’s within the weight limit for one stamp. Check the postal service website for weight/size limits.
I had a question about stamps! when i was gonna ship my photo-cards and they told me i needed a non machinable stamp because if not it would get crushes. Do I really need those specific stamps or the non machinable stamps?
If the envelope is thick it may get stuck in the machine sorter. So non machinable would be safest. I didn’t think it’s too much more than machinable stamped shipping. At the USPS it’s 0.99 cents per stamp so not too much more per stamp. If you have access to getting non machinable stamps it would be safer and you and the person you’re sending to can have peace of mind as well.
@@TamaMushroom oh ok. Is there a certain size an envelope has to be? Is it possible that it can be too small. Can I mail a 3 x 6 envelope or is that too small? Sorry I’m new to this and I’m making my first trade soon I wanna make sure I’m doing it correctly 😩
@@eunice7865 pe.usps.com/businessmail101?ViewName=Letters ^this link is to the page with the size restrictions and such. It looks like the smallest size for an envelope is 3 1/2 by 6 1/8 (inches).
International means outside of the country. You can send to any state as you would send within the state you live in. International stamps are $1.20 and if you are sending more than a few photocards you’ll have to get the postal people to weigh the package and give you a price.
Hi! I’m not sure if you use Mercari, but if you do, I have a question. Will I get paid if I do free shipping but I ship the pc through stamped shipping without a tracking number?
I have not used Mercari, but I am pretty sure you will get paid for the item even if free shipping is used, I’ve seen listings with that as the shipping price. I don’t know how Mercari works on seller end at all, sorry 😞
@@nicole6429 Hi! Yea so as long as the other person rates /leaves you a review you will get paid. So it’s not really a guarantee but I have sold about 10+ Photocards and all of the ppl have been trustworthy. I usually put in the description of the Photocard that the buyer must have a certain amount of reviews from sellers in order to get it stamped shipping otherwise I will cancel the order. Hope this helped!
Yes, it just won’t be as expensive to ship something of the same weight. If you don’t put proper postage they will send it back to you (hence why you put a return address) or you may run the risk of it being “lost”
hiiii ! Im currently mailing out a trade to Canada but im not sure if the bulkiness of the top loader will make it cost more ? do I just need an international stamp to mail from US to Canada or, do I need to pay more?
If it weighs less than 1 oz. and is in a rectangular envelope it should be ok. Is the thickness abnormal? A international piece of mail will be fine to send with $1.20 international stamp. You should be able to use normal stamps as long as they amount to $1.20 or over. So if you use a 0.55 stamp and 2x 0.33 stamps that will be $1.21 so it should be fine! You can check the USPS website for restrictions and things. I hope this helped!
for international addresses… do we tell them how we would normally tell other people in the US our address? like: name street city, state, and zip code? I’m just not sure if it’s the same or if is there something added to it when shipping international.
For your address, you would tell the person sending to you exactly the way we ship in the US. I’m saying that for you sending to another country you’d put the address in the same way that that country your sending to do sends within the country. You don’t have to tell the postal service anything special, as long as it is exactly as the person says their address is you’ll be fine! I’ve yet to have a problem with international envelopes!
That would have to be sent as a package, so I’m not sure how exactly that’s work as you’d need to pay more than with a stamp. You could send it in a bubble mailer and put tracking on it but that does cost more than a stamp.
@@Kookie-fl2rp I’m glad I could help out! I think if you are able to go to the post office, a person that works there could be direct you with options for tracking and such!
I’m not sure exactly what you mean. There are return address stamps, which have your information but it does not count as a postal stamp that will be mailed properly. Now if you have some kind of postal stamp that also has your address and stuff on it then I would assume you can since you paid for the stamp which is put towards paying the postage.
You can, you don’t HAVE to. I do write my address as a return address and my name so my mail people can organize it easier if it has to be sent back to me.
@@TamaMushroom so i dont have to? i just have to put the buyers address and name and i dont have to put my address because i dont feel great abt putting my address so if i dont have to what do i put on the envelope? just the stamp and the buyers info?
I’ve never made a shipping label for these. All you do is write the address in the center of the envelope of where the mail is going and put the return address in the top left corner.
This seems easier than I expected it to be, do I just put the persons address and name on the envelope, and put mine as a return address, and I can just put it in the blue bin thing and I’m done or do I have to weigh it as well?
You don’t have to weigh it, but if it is a thick envelope or you’re sending several photocards you might want to make sure it’s within the weight for one stamp. The weights and prices change everyone once in a while, so I can’t remember of the top of my head if what I used to know is even correct anymore. But short answer if you’re sending a card or two in one top loader it’ll be fine and you could just put it in a blue bin or take it to the post office!
hi! so im planning on selling photocards but with envelopes and not using shipping labels, i know u have to put return address on the top and the buyers address in the middle but i dont feel comfortable putting my address there for random buyers to see... also im planning on just sending the envelopes through the mailbox so do i put it in my mail box or in the big one with the little slit to put envelopes in that the mailman opens and takes it out to ship?

You can check the USPS website for restrictions and things. I hope this helped!
@@TamaMushroom my envelop is a 5 x 4 envelope and it only contains the top loader with the photo card inside
@@aguafrescass it should be fine then! As long as it is flat and within the weight limit, it’ll be fine!
@@TamaMushroom ahhh thank you so much for the help !!
happy trading !
@@aguafrescass I am glad I could help! Happy trading :)
for international addresses… do we tell them how we would normally tell other people in the US our address?
like:
name
street
city, state, and zip code?
I’m just not sure if it’s the same or if is there something added to it when shipping international.
For your address, you would tell the person sending to you exactly the way we ship in the US. I’m saying that for you sending to another country you’d put the address in the same way that that country your sending to do sends within the country.
You don’t have to tell the postal service anything special, as long as it is exactly as the person says their address is you’ll be fine! I’ve yet to have a problem with international envelopes!
How do I track it? Like if the other person wants me to send the tracking number?
That would have to be sent as a package, so I’m not sure how exactly that’s work as you’d need to pay more than with a stamp. You could send it in a bubble mailer and put tracking on it but that does cost more than a stamp.
@@TamaMushroom oh okay thank sm for answering tour video helped me a lot in my first trade ✨😊
@@Kookie-fl2rp I’m glad I could help out! I think if you are able to go to the post office, a person that works there could be direct you with options for tracking and such!
@@TamaMushroom okie thank you!!
can i use the stamps with my name & address on them ?
I’m not sure exactly what you mean. There are return address stamps, which have your information but it does not count as a postal stamp that will be mailed properly. Now if you have some kind of postal stamp that also has your address and stuff on it then I would assume you can since you paid for the stamp which is put towards paying the postage.
Hi. Do you write your full name and return address on the envelope as well?
You can, you don’t HAVE to. I do write my address as a return address and my name so my mail people can organize it easier if it has to be sent back to me.
@@TamaMushroom so i dont have to? i just have to put the buyers address and name and i dont have to put my address because i dont feel great abt putting my address so if i dont have to what do i put on the envelope? just the stamp and the buyers info?
Did you have to create a shipping label for this… if not how did you ship it.
I’ve never made a shipping label for these.
All you do is write the address in the center of the envelope of where the mail is going and put the return address in the top left corner.
@@TamaMushroom so you just put the stamp on there?
@@NickiNicoleee on the top right corner, yes. Check the USPS/carrier website for weight details and what the stamps cover.
@@TamaMushroom ok thank you so much
@@TamaMushroom did you have to pay for shipping. Sry I’m new and don’t really understand
This seems easier than I expected it to be, do I just put the persons address and name on the envelope, and put mine as a return address, and I can just put it in the blue bin thing and I’m done or do I have to weigh it as well?
You don’t have to weigh it, but if it is a thick envelope or you’re sending several photocards you might want to make sure it’s within the weight for one stamp. The weights and prices change everyone once in a while, so I can’t remember of the top of my head if what I used to know is even correct anymore.
But short answer if you’re sending a card or two in one top loader it’ll be fine and you could just put it in a blue bin or take it to the post office!
@@TamaMushroom is that stamp “non machinable?”

where do i get the stamps
You can get stamps at the post office. There are some grocery stores or other types of stores that may have them (such as ACE Hardware)
@@TamaMushroom thank uu
hi! so im planning on selling photocards but with envelopes and not using shipping labels, i know u have to put return address on the top and the buyers address in the middle but i dont feel comfortable putting my address there for random buyers to see... also im planning on just sending the envelopes through the mailbox so do i put it in my mail box or in the big one with the little slit to put envelopes in that the mailman opens and takes it out to ship?
Hey idk if it’s too late, but when mailing envelopes you actually don’t have to put a return address!!
