"Circulated" means it has been mailed; uncirculated/not circulated means it has not been mailed. Of course there are cards with writing on the back but no stamps or not mailed. I call these not circulated but I note that there is "writing on the back".

simple back is what I call "undivided back"; that is, postcards from before 1904-1907 depending on the country. For US cards it says something like "this side for address only" on the back and the message, if any, is written on the front.
divided means postcards which have both the address area and message area on the back.

Hope this helps!

About scans: I think it's common to scan only the front for a postcard which has nothing of note on the back. I almost always scan the back if the postcard has been mailed. It takes twice as long to scan, of course, if you're making 2 scans for every listing so you must consider that.

Take a look at what others have done as far as listing your cards; look at what sells and where it sells. Use good descriptions to help collectors find what they're looking for. There is no magic way to sell everything, however.
