Postal rates through Paypal/eBay now lower!!
This is in the trade section and may get moved again..but I thought it strange to get a break in $$
Through eBay/Paypal Multiorder ship option, it used to be 3 oz or less $1.75 with DC..now..today 1/22..it is $1.64 because the DC is free! Postage increased, but overall I pay less with free DC..
Now going to the PO in person is even more $$ and there is no excuse not use a DC..really protects the sender from scammers...
Just for your info

Using electronic postage is now cheaper because they want you to do it and not go to the PO..overall, it makes good business sense as well..especially with the price of gas not going down much in the future

It is quite the relief that they actually ended up lower.
It honestly makes perfect business sense. Good to see people using their noggins over there.

Print them and leave them in your mail box to picked up, or you can drop them in any collection box as long as they are not over 13 oz.
If you have less than 25 trades. I ask that you ship first!

Maybe a tutorial on how to use the postage feature on Paypal is in order...
Step by step how to do sort of thing..
Many people would save $$ doing it..
I like the fact that I print, tape label at home and leave in box or take to work to be picked up.
Free DC is such a bonus feature now...

I'll def switch to using this method after I get a new printer. With the outrageous cost of ink that definitely jacks the cost up of printing labels at home

RE: Postal rates through Paypal/eBay now lower!!
can you only do it if you receive money via paypal first (i.e. ebay)? Can you print labels for trades?
