Online Shipping for eBay
When it comes to shipping your eBay orders, you have several choices. The first, and most labor intensive, is to take your packages to the post office and wait for a clerk to print and affix the postage. You can also use the Paypal shipping tool, however, I dislike this option because it requires you to print a full page label, half of which will be wasted. You can also use an online shipping service, such as Stamps.com.
I heard Neal Boortz advertising a special on Stamps.com on his radio show. I have used Stamps.com since I started selling on eBay back in 2003. It is fast, easy, and you can print anything including international postage (all classes). In my “super economical” fashion, I use the 10 to a page labels for domestic shipping. (Some sellers use plain paper and attach the postage with clear tape and avoid buying labels all together.)
The Neal Special on Stamps.com includes:
$45 in postage
$50 digital scale (wow, nice!)
$5 supplies kit
4 week free trial ($15 value)
Total value = $100
If you are not using an online postage service, or aren’t happy with the one you are with now, you might want to check out the Neal Special. Just go to Stamps.com, click on the radio icon in the top right corner, and on the next page enter the code NEAL. What do you have to lose? And if you don’t like the scale, you can always sell it on eBay!
