How much is "just shipping" for MTG cards?

So, I want to sell some cards I don't need but I'm not sure if it's cheaper to buy my own packaging and letting them put the postage for shipping as opposed to just buying the packaging off them along with the postage.

I'm looking at USPS but they don't have a postage calculator, just a packaging and postage calculator (I think).

Depends what you're shipping, and to where, and how you package it. Give us some more info even if just for volume?

Up to four cards in 2 top loaders in a bubble mailer is about two stamps. Any more than that, add another stamp for every two to three top loaders.

That works for me and I have sent from North Carolina to Oregon. International is a bit tricky. They make stamps for those too. Like 80 cent and 1 dollar stamps for those... Or you could just go straight to the post office and have the weigh it.

i send everything in a bubble mailer, with tracking info, it costs me like $2.50, and i can buy mailers for 60cents or $1.50 at the post office,

but its cheaper to buy your own packaging regardless of size, priority packing is free but shipping is a little more expensive
