i have been shipping for years now by just throwing stamps on my packages and never really had a problem. then i just go to the drive thru post office and throw it in...

i am thinking of going to paypal but have never done it- yes kinda weird as i have almost 700 trades here but i am a rookie to other ways to ship so any help would be great! any scale recommendations? im thinking i will save money by only paying exactly as i currently probably throw on too many stamps! thanks. any help is great!espec you veteran traders!!

i made the switch several months ago and i could not be happier. its so much easier to do the paypal shipping and dc is free. pretty much all the packages i ship cost $1.69 and that is with delivery confirmation. here is the scale i bought and use http://www.ebay.com/itm/86-LB-DIGITAL-PO...d=ViewItem lmk if you need any help getting started.

I bought a cheap $5 one (I think that's how much it cost) from Wally World, works pretty good (never had anything returned due to inaccurate weight). And yes, you'll save a bit with how often you trade.

Wally World == Wal-Mart (at least in my book).

how do you go about it though, when it's not through eBay? I feel like a scale isn't really necessary, unless you're shipping a bunch of cards nothing is over 3-4 oz. so you can just guess, particularly b/c it doesn't change price-wise until you get above the 3 oz. mark.

So do you just say you need to ship something and pay paypal directly, even though there's no transaction through them?

When I click on that link, it takes me to my login, and then once I've logged in, it takes me to the page to create shipping labels. Does it just take you to your Account History?

This link MAY work better, not sure.

i go through the multi order shipping through paypal and just make individual labels. i believe its under account tools.
