<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1501260, member: 15518"]I've only sold a few banknotes; however, I've sold many photographs, magazines and old comic books on eBay... some quite valuable. I always place them in a mylar sleeve with white acid free cardboard backer, then sandwich that between two sheets of double wall cardboard which has been trimmed to approximately 1/2" larger than than the item. I tape the cardboard together securely and place in the correct size bubble mailer. For more expensive items (over $100) I place the bubble mailer in a priority box with additional packing and ship that way. I also purchased a "Do Not Bend" stamp and mark all envelopes, though it would take considerable effort to even bend them slightly. I have never, nor would I ever, ship a banknote (or a coin for that matter) in a plain envelope, even with the protection of a sleeve. Spending a little time and money on packaging is well worth it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
