Love me some Click-to-Ship especially my Postman picking up my packages and saving me a trip to our always-crowded local post office. Yes, Winter has made me lazy.

If you want a PITA, try selling an iPhone, iPod, Macbook, or video game system on eBay. You'll get tons of non paying bidders with every excuse in the book why they cannot pay. Did it a few years ago when my son wanted me to sell some of his stuff. Never do that again.

One of the reasons I never use bay's shipping calculator. The other is that I have often had to pay the difference of their underestimated costs. I always check off a flat rate charge after doing my own estimations.

It's much easier than writing your own label. Also you get small discount off postage(3% or so), free tracking number. No need to wait in line at PO, just drop it off at PO, or give it to your mail carrier, unless you want a receipt. Never had problem there.

Best of all, with this service, I'll get accurate shipping address, won't make any error.


+1 to all the comments about Click and Ship and the Post Office doing a better job

I don't sell but I do wind up shipping --- A couple notes

USPS will deliver stock Priority Mail Boxes free (10-25 + in bundles) --- but be sure to get REGULAR and Flat Rate boxes --- they don't interchange --- Both box types in various sizes are listed on the USPS site --- they are delivered to your door/

USPS also has Priority Mail Tape and stick on labels for generic boxes (ie grocery store, etc)

Most Importantly; be sure to compare shipping by size weight vs "Flat Rate" --- the price of convenience can be huge --- to do that click through the various pull down menu options.

I recently noticed this Paypal statement-- "Note: Signature Confirmation is required to qualify for the Seller Protection Policy on shipments valued at more than $750.00 USD"

Does that imply that only delivery confirmation is required on shipments less than $750 to be covered (making USPS insurance unnecessary)?

You can find this statement when you try to buy a shipping label through paypal on the "U.S. Postal Service - Create Your Shipping Label" page.
