I know eBay has "eBay envelope" for like certain collectibles but that's limited by category (that service also has never worked for me), so perhaps this seller just has a custom shipping rule that is that low? But they would lose money on a sale like this. I suppose the hope could be that people buy multiple items at once if they have plenty of (in this case) retro games

Edited - added screen shot of low end rate costs for ground advantage and media mail

    Im in Canada, so 6x9 under 50g is $1.75 I think. Higher rate for heavier.

    Yeah my sister sent me a thin spring jacket across country, in one of those envelopes before. Cost her $2. But as soon as you exceed what they determine is a letter slots thickness, it jumps to $20+ bcause now they can't drop it through a mail slot and needs an actual delivery
