new USPS rules for Ebay sellers

[luckydog]

Well I finally broke down and went high tech, I have been printing out my own shipping and postage labels on Ebay

USPS Price and Service Changes Impact eBay Sellers

its easier and cheaper now, tracking is free and number gets put on sold item by ebay,

if you take a first class parcel to the post office they charge per ounce plus 90 cents for tracking!!!

and no waiting in line at the post office, just leave it on the counter and go

I might check into this. I was just thinking about selling off the remainder of my vintage video games and consoles.

One suggestion to you ebay sellers if you don't already know about it.

But you can actually get a slight discount on shipping for USPS & UPS. Don't use ebay's thing to ship. Go sign into paypal then enter the URL www.paypal.com/shipnow Then it will give you the choice of USPS or UPS pick what you want and then enter all the shipping info. I'm not sure exactly how much it saves you but it can add up and if you send something large through UPS it might save you a buck or two.

Just thought I'd share that little secret they hide and try not to let you find it.
