It would help if you said what make & model of card you are selling, since even if it "works" with a Netbook, it might block the stylus hole or drain the battery in 10 minutes :(

And of course there are other problems too with some cards.

An excellent card - I use one myself - its based on the Lucent chipset so is low power but does block the stylus hole.

On this second point, I am mystified why people find it an issue (please don't take this as a personal dig Chris - I just want to sound off). The whole design of the PC Card system on netBook allows you to unplug a card whenever you like, so no biggie, just unplug the card, get that stylus, then plug the card back in and reconnect in about four seconds.
