I'm new to the industry looking to get some Jayson Tatum rookie cards without spending 50$ for delivery to Ireland. Does anybody know any American or European card sellers that sells with a small delivery fee ?

try setting up a US mailing address through COMC or ShipMyCards. If you plan on buying multiple cards, you have them shipped to these places, which will hold them for you and then you get them all shipped to you internationally at one time.

^^^What he said. Will also avoid customs fees. Would recommend SMC over COMC.

We can store them at those places mentioned and accumulate quite a few cards to send as one package to make it worthwhile.

I don't feel the SMC love that others do. I had a look at their prices and they looked excessive if you wanted to hold for a few months before shipping.

I use get it shipped international.
But i only buy low end stuff , Tatum is pretty expensive and i think your giving up your buyer protection on ebay/paypal by having your stuff shipped to a third party. You might want to look into that before making the plundge.
I use them since November , got 2 shipement without problems. Last shipement i bought a Coby White Holo and i receive a fanatic version , but pretty sure thats on the seller since he got 2-3 negs in that span. 1 card i was supposed to get in my last shipement is gone mia event tho it shows delivered there. Waiting on reply`s from there end.

I use GISI also.
Best to use the VIP service if you don't. I lost 5 package with them when on the basic service. Now on VIP I can see scans of everything in my account and can chase them up once something shows as delivered but isn't scanned.

There is no difference in price for how long they hold cards for, I've had cards there for almost a year. Currently $2 processing fee per card if sent to their Arizona address or $4 per card if sent to their Oregon address to avoid ebay tax.

I was under the impression there are more fees than just processing fees.
GISI is just a monthly charge, with nothing per package/card.

I buy most my cards from China and Japan which have way lower shipping costs since they tend to not use the global shipping programme. eBay global shipping is a travesty.

There aren't any for storing cards. There's a $3 handling fee per shipment when you have your cards shipped home, but that's it next to the processing fees for the basic service of storing and shipping cards.
They've also introduced a couple new features recently though including the ability to transfer your cards to another members mailbox and a marketplace to sell your cards directly on their website. Then there's also options to send your cards to BGS/PSA for grading, have them auctioned on eBay etc. There obviously are some fees involved in these services.
Highly recommended.
