I can't speak for the pending payment stuff as it is honestly not something I have ever worried about or even looked at - most of my stuff isn't new releases so the timing matters less.

For the questions above, I do the following:
- order all stamps and supplies on the USPS website. I think they charge $1.50 to ship your stamps to you but I am generally making fairly large orders (I have done some TTM stuff in the past as well) and well worth the time needed to go to a post office and stand in line.

- the above actually helps a small amount with the thin pieces of cardboard as all the sheets of stamps come with a cardboard backer. Outside of that, I generally just use cards that I won't be listing - stuff that is damaged, junk era, etc.

Good luck and congrats on the Red Star!
