8. How do you package these things for eBay Standard Envelope postage?

I had a sale of 7 thin postcards, and one got damaged with a corner folder over. I have been using a quality #10 envelope with a glued on label. Buyers tells me I needed cardboard. Well you can't make it too stiff, they tell you that up front. Do you buy these yellow manilla 6x9" envelopes and put a cardboard frame around them? Thickness has to be uniform, and not stiff. Somedays the whole eBay is just too much for me.
